7547. BRIDGE ME THE GAP

BRIDGE ME THE GAP
From Chadds Ford to the Overland
Passage and the Cumberland Gap,
my, my how these places haunt. And 
I've wandered about some, but nothing 
like that. I'd like to introduce you to my
second : he wears a coonskin cap, and 
wanders these hills looking wild. A 
mountain-man of sorts, though not by
any means a mountain of a man.
-
That means so much in these distant
mountain hollows : less space to take 
up, less flesh to keep warm. The idea
of food and maintenance goes with 
that too. So, listen up you search-party
fiends; you'll never find me, not by any 
means. I am the shadow of the ghost
that has passed through these woods.
