California

We see art deco sunsets and paisley palm trees on a citizen ship in cheddar seas. Up goes the sun - an impressionist's blot, while nor'easters push pigments through pastel parking lots. In a sense, we are blind in this rush hour mosaic in a photovoltaic landscape on a Californian wave. In another sense we're naked as the greenly palms flit as the sun waves goodbye to our citizen ship.

I sense a little bit of a double-entendre with the sun waving goodbye to your "citizen ship," Chad. Quite a provocative write. Cool descriptions of paisley palm trees and pastel parking lots, but I think you're making a comment that goes far deeper. Just my interpretation, but I sure like this poem! Love, Carolyn
