Is this bedrock far enough down
do I have to make it in this town
is this the answer? is this the mission?
is this the moment of great decision
it seems a lot like all the rest
probably get a solid C on the test
and end up in the stupid person’s club
the sad little bottle said glub glub glub
And that was all the basalt I could bear to mine
trying to build a fortress against the slow decline
If you would like to support my song of the day, please consider purchasing something from the Shop
What is the song of the day?
"The modern shoreline is composed of basalt lava flows. In the south, near Duluth, other materials, such as slate, greywacke and sandstone, are found a short distance inland; however in the north, the entire bedrock made of basalt and gabbro is exposed in patches miles from shore. When the bedrock hits the surface of the lake at a shallow enough angle, the beach is covered with washed up rocks. When it hits the lake at a steep angle, it breaks off and makes sharp cliffs ending at the lake."
