Let me show you just how beautiful Lubbock, Texas really is.
You will see the moondust falling,
Flailing in the gusts that sigh,
But you can't catch it.

You don't think you're even touching it,
But you are.
Stay with me all night tonight
In the Llano Estacado wind.
We'll blow around with the ghostlike tumbleweeds,
And I'll come up in the morning
Like the sun,
Happy and pregnant,
And forty other things no one could guess.

Can we resist, when the stars themselves declare
That we are 92 percent compatible?
Should we hedge a bet like that 
Against Pork Futures or Love 
On a Hub City night?
