| Worsewick Hot Springs was nothing fancy Somebody put some | B |
| - | |
| boards across the creek That was it | C |
| - | |
| The boards dammed up the creek enough to form a huge | D |
| - | |
| bathtub there and the creek flowed over the top of the boards | E |
| - | |
| invited like a postcard to the ocean a thousand miles away | F |
| - | |
| As I said Worsewick was nothing fancy not like the | G |
| - | |
| places where the swells go There were no buildings around | H |
| - | |
| We saw an old shoe lying by the tub | I |
| - | |
| The hot springs came down off a hill and where they flowed | J |
| - | |
| there was a bright orange scum through the sagebrush The | G |
| - | |
| hot springs flowed into the creek right there at the tub and | K |
| - | |
| that' s where it was nice | L |
| - | |
| We parked our car on the dirt road and went down and took | A |
| - | |
| off our clothes then we took off the baby's clothes and the | G |
| - | |
| deerflies had at us until we got into the water and then they | F |
| - | |
| stopped | M |
| - | |
| There was a green slime growing around the edges of the | G |
| - | |
| tub and there were dozens of dead fish floating in our bath | N |
| - | |
| Their bodies had been turned white by death like frost on | O |
| - | |
| iron doors Their eyes were large and stiff | P |
| - | |
| The fish had made the mistake of going down the creek too | Q |
| - | |
| far and ending up in hot water singing When you lose your | R |
| - | |
| money learn to lose | S |
| - | |
| We played and relaxed in the water The green slime and | K |
| - | |
| the dead fish played and relaxed with us and flowed out over | T |
| - | |
| us and entwined themselves about us | U |
| - | |
| Splashing around in that hot water with my woman I began | V |
| - | |
| to get ideas as they say After a while I placed my body in | W |
| - | |
| such a position in the water that the baby could not see my | X |
| - | |
| hard on | O |
| - | |
| I did this by going deeper and deeper in the water like a | G |
| - | |
| dinosaur and letting the green slime and dead fish cover me | Y |
| - | |
| over | T |
| - | |
| My woman took the baby out of the water and gave her a | G |
| - | |
| bottle and put her back in the car The baby was tired It was | Z |
| - | |
| really time for her to take a nap | A2 |
| - | |
| My woman took a blanket out of the car and covered up the | G |
| - | |
| windows that faced the hot springs She put the blanket ontop | A2 |
| - | |
| of the car and then lay rocks on the blanket to hold it in place | B2 |
| - | |
| I remember her standing there by the car | C2 |
| - | |
| Then she came back to the water and the deerflies were | T |
| - | |
| at her and then it was my turn After a while she said I | X |
| - | |
| don't have my diaphragm with me and besides it wouldn't | D2 |
| - | |
| work in the water anyway I think it's a good idea if you | Q |
| - | |
| don't come inside me What do you think | A |
| - | |
| I thought this over and said all right I didn't want any | Y |
| - | |
| more kids for a long time The green slime and dead fish | E2 |
| - | |
| were all about our bodies | F2 |
| - | |
| I remember a dead fish floated under her neck I waited | G2 |
| - | |
| for it to come up on the other side and it came up on the | G |
| - | |
| other side | H2 |
| - | |
| Worsewick was nothing fancy | Y |
| - | |
| Then I came and just cleared her in a split secondlike | A |
| - | |
| an airplane in the movies pulling out of a nosedive and sail | I2 |
| - | |
| ing over the roof of a school | J2 |
| - | |
| My sperm came out into the water unaccustomed to the | G |
| - | |
| light and instantly it became a misty stringy kind of thing | A |
| - | |
| and swirled out like a falling star and I saw a dead fishcome | Y |
| - | |
| forward and float into my sperm bending it in the middle | K2 |
| - | |
| His eyes were stiff like iron | L2 |
