Vesuvio from Stay Golden by Jason Kaminski

Straight to the back of a yellow taxi cab
We drove through the town in the rain
A man with a beard was less aware than he appeared
I asked how he got through his day

Vesuvio! Vesuvio! I walked into the cafe from the weary road.

Postcards and rhymes from an era stuck in time
Hung from the walls in their frames
Where do you go when not a soul is there you know
And no one remembers your name?

Vesuvio! Vesuvio! I walked into the cafe from the weary road.

One more to go before I hit the open road
And I'm left with only my thoughts
Jack Kerouac left a note upon a plaque
That said, "It all ends in tears anyway."

Vesuvio! Vesuvio! Vesuvio! Vesuvio!
