First Line: I'm tired of cities with churches and schools
Last Line: Guess I'm homesick for peru.
Subject(s): Peru


I'm tired of cities with churches and schools,
I'm tired of well-kept farms;
I'm weary of intellectual fools,
Of pink teas and fire alarms.

I need wide tablelands washed in sun,
The Andes, where old is new:
I'm wanting to laugh at how llamas run --
Guess I'm homesick for Peru.
