crystalline
would be the
word
for the sparkling blue pool
refracting sun beams
from the hot dry
yet arid sky
changing the corpuscules
of brick into sturdy
weight
to scratch the baby thick
soles of white feet.
purple and yellow flags
fly from multitudes of car
attennas on the 405 freeway
where people live to drive
and the home team on every television set with mixed nuts and fresh fruit laden on the coffee table.
you can laze the days away here without paying the bills
close your eyes and try to feel the place you left behind
and try to feel to place
you need to move forward to
