Raised by Moose

try and remember the last time
you felt free
buoyant
cavalier with your love
when you moved through a night
bottled beer by the neck 
with two fingers
on your way to the next great adventure 
toward the girl in the back of a bar 
who lets you do anything to her 
toward a highway 
your true lover
back to the origins of swagger
where all the music sets you on fire
when you been there?
how long has it been?
