A Look At California

Written By: D. Collins 5/17/18
Pro football comes on at 10:00 in the morning.
Game two starts at 1 in California.
Then, around 4 head out to Venice Beach.
To feel the sunset and sand under your feet.
You can bask in the sun for several hours.
Then. take PCH north towards Big Sur waters.
You'll see mountains and cliffs like you've never seen.
A drop-off to the ocean that'll make a grown man scream.
Then, you come around this curve, and there's Malibu.
Where the lines in the street are all spiffy and new.
You can roll up the coast, and peep Alcatraz.
Across the "Golden Gate" is where "Warriors" kick ass.
It ain't even a trip without the Redwood Trees.
Towering figures that cause us to live and breathe.
I've had the road trip, and I know what's there.
California's seduction is like a lion's lair.
