Sad In California

Sitting here on lovely sand
Feeling like I'm drowning 
Staring off into the blue


To my left is the pale moon 
suffocating in the blue
of the sky 

To my right the surfer rests
Towel draped around his
pelvis 
He's old and ugly 

Sitting here and thinking how
I'd rather be at the hotel
Let it be known that, yes,
It is possible to be sad 
In California
