Somewhere in New Mexico I tipped a Waitress 25%
NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for
you. You must travel it for yourself.
-Walt Whitman
On a cool autumn morning in New Mexico
A greasy spoon along the interstate
Walt Whitman and I enjoyed breakfast together
Bacon and eggs, hash browns, coffee and toast
And it was very good – no heaves of gas
But Whitman found an errand in some other soul
And sang a different self to California
McKuen rode with me the rest of the way
Breakfast was ninety-five cents; I added a quarter
The waitress was happy, and so were we all
