Pearls in the Motel Pool

Close your eyes and let the vast region of your imagination take you to the back seat of your family's mini van. Driving driving driving up and down up and down road after road. Crammed in the back seat with your brother and coolers and fold up chairs and the most magical element of the trip, the tent. You're going camping. The last big adventure of summer. Your parents pretend their problems aren't there for the weekend and your brother replaces his gameboy with a fishing pole. You stare out the window at the passing trees and grass and leaves and hitchhikers when you feel something. You got it. For the first time. You just want to call all of your friends and talk about brands of, you know, so you don't feel left out anymore. You tell your Dad. He pulls over at the nearest rest stop and hands you a wad of paper towels. There is no way that you will settle for anything less than Tampax though. So you just leave it be.

You get to the campsite a little before dark. Your father lights dead sticks with a match. Now they dance and spark and blaze in the dying light. You roast marshmallows. You were innocent. You crawl into your sleeping bag. You lay there. Just lay. Thinking. There's something in your ovaries and it's beautiful. There's something going on. You're a woman now.

GRRRR GRRRRR GRRRR. GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. ROAR. ROAR. ROOOOOARRRRR. You hear a noise. You're scared. You hear footsteps. Loud footsteps. Too loud to be your father's. You helplessly watch and a huge hairy monster rips open the tent with its massive claws. A bear. How could this be? You put all of the food in a bear resistant container and hung it in a tree. You went through all the bear safety precautions. ROAR. You forgot one thing. One beautiful deadly thing...

This is the experience you get when you listen to Pearls in the Motel Pool by Akryllic Love. You reach some sort of enlightenment. It changes your life. I think the best description of it is from Joe though,
