(At) Outside Lands

My house is an open book.

Come inside if you’d prefer, inside you can dance to the music from far away.

Everyone will be dressed up in their period pieces.

You don’t have to dance, you can sway back and forth instead.

This is where it’s happening!

All you need is love, love is all you need.

Right on brothers and sisters, smile on your mother, everybody get together and love one another right now. Right now, right now.

It’s up to you—power to the people!

A quiet moment inside the author’s home, August 9, 2025. San Francisco.
