Off-the-Grid Girl - Lorraine Feather[00:00:00]
He packed his bags in Bellingham [00:00:12]
Took the water taxi to where I am [00:00:15]
Wed lie by the brook; his yellow dog [00:00:18]
Chasing butterflies while I wrote my blog [00:00:21]
It warned the outside world to stay away [00:00:25]
To stay away [00:00:29]
He would never pass the deep dark winter here [00:00:37]
He made that clear [00:00:44]
Weve got these rats as big as cats [00:01:08]
Slugs as long as your arm [00:01:12]
A nasty nest of rattlesnakes[00:01:16]
Down by the onion farm [00:01:20]
We brought them in to eat the rats [00:01:24]
Which as I stated are big as cats [00:01:28]
All they did was multiply and grow [00:01:33]
Its a very scary place to be [00:01:40]
Unless youre an off-the-grid girl[00:01:48]
Like me [00:01:57]
Forget about the ferry route;[00:02:06]
It wont be dropping you here [00:02:10]
Forget those touched-up listings[00:02:14]
On the walls of Windermere [00:02:18]
Or Coldwell Banker or John L Scott [00:02:22]
One barren plot is all weve got [00:02:26]
Extended stays are scarcely apropos [00:02:31]
Though theres a cabin in the shadow of the penitentiary [00:02:38]
Just right for an off-the-grid girl[00:02:46]
Like me [00:02:55]
Its curtains for our aquifer [00:03:41]
Salt pours from every tap [00:03:45]
Not much can grow but nettles [00:03:49]
And theyll sting you in a snap [00:03:53]
But if youre coming anyhow [00:03:57]
Get all your vaccinations now [00:04:01]
Ill tell you something[00:04:07]
(Keep it on the down-low ):[00:04:09]
Theres a nasty pox for which theres no immunity [00:04:13]
Unless youre an off-the-grid girl[00:04:21]
Like me [00:04:30]
Ive kept his books beside the bed [00:04:39]
Ive let him stay inside my head [00:04:47]
Hed walk by the table where I sold[00:05:04]
The beets of purple the plums of gold [00:05:08]
I guessed a Harvard cap and gown [00:05:20]
I knew he played his money down[00:05:24]
