Leaving Ashland, mountain fairies
Packed my lunch
Vegan fare
Medford looming, Medford dooming
Mill town, pill town
Overpass
Exit thirty to sixty-two
Lava Lanes, cow dance road house
No city, meth city, White City
Assembly line, swing shift, unincorporate
Wage slave trailer tears
No escape
Medford looming, Medford dooming
