Ruby '81 - Aesop Rock[00:00:00]
Look go happy holidays[00:00:48]
July 4th 1981 [00:00:50]
Candles of a Roman ilk [00:00:52]
Unloaded from a Chevy truck[00:00:54]
Into the home where folks had built [00:00:55]
Patio was charcoals[00:00:57]
And extended fam in folding chairs [00:00:58]
Safely arced around the yard[00:01:00]
To focus on the smoking flares [00:01:02]
Couple cousins uncles aunts[00:01:03]
Mostly grown-ups couple brats[00:01:04]
Baby Ruby's only two [00:01:06]
She's too close to the jumping jacks [00:01:08]
Mommy scoops her to the house [00:01:10]
Buckles up the booster seat [00:01:11]
Rolls her to the storm door [00:01:13]
Let her long for all the lunacy [00:01:14]
Telephone distracting Mom [00:01:16]
Ruby wriggles at her strap [00:01:18]
Fingers push the plexiglass [00:01:19]
She's off into the sour patch [00:01:20]
Past the pyrotechnics [00:01:22]
Undetected and invisible [00:01:24]
Woke the sleeping beagle [00:01:25]
Skipping toward the kidney swimming pool [00:01:27]
Off into the yawning blue [00:01:28]
The splash would mum the rocket ships [00:01:30]
Ruby's lungs were filling[00:01:31]
By the time her kin were cognisant [00:01:33]
Many sprung and sprinted down [00:01:35]
All arrived belated but [00:01:36]
The beast she had earlier stirred[00:01:38]
Had been alert since waking up [00:01:40]
The canine let his gainer fly [00:01:41]
Water top commotion grow [00:01:43]
Howling guests assume[00:01:44]
The cloven hooves had come to do-si-do [00:01:45]
Frenzied and congested deck [00:01:48]
Part to let the elders see [00:01:49]
Soggy beagle gently dragging[00:01:51]
Ruby in his yellow teeth [00:01:52]
Laid the tiny body [00:01:54]
In the sun before her father's feet [00:01:55]
When she choked the liquid through her bluish lips [00:01:57]
He dropped his knee [00:01:59]
Helped the air to reconvene [00:02:00]
Toweled a shaking Ruby off [00:02:02]
EMT confirmed the save [00:02:03]
Everybody said "Good Dog"[00:02:05]
