Away from home
While missing home
Tropical uncertainties traded
For low humidity, blue skies
Family traditions
Free room and board
Minor discomforts
Boring road food
Some of it was acting
Acting, for the benefit
Of those in attendance
Buddy Holly tribute eyewear
In fashion–without thought
Given to rockabilly legends
Some left to make room
for those, yet to come
Modern-day prophets
Rested, never knowing
Their promised lands
Mere words unimportant
Sticks and stones
