Directions

Take a left turn.
You will pass a graveyard
On your right,
Then an apple orchard
And a big red barn with a sign out front
Reading, "Cows are Sacred."
When you get to a road called
"Lonely Ape Road," take a right.
This road diverges around an
Ancient Indian burial mound,
On top of which General Custer
Sits smoking a pipe and playing a lyre.
Take the left road.
You'll be driving uphill several miles
Through an old forest full of grimacing trees
And you'll come around a bend to face
Five old men sitting in the road.
They'll ask for change, and advice.
Give them neither.
Keep driving.
At the top of the mountain is an
Old gas station.
Stop here.
Go inside and ask
The old, ashen-faced lech behind the counter
For directions.
