California

I saw a 
Gray Squirrel
Remove his
Fluffy Coat!

He was as 
Naked as a
Scrub Jay!

And then he 
Flew Away!

Deep in the winde to pause
The slouch is may, or you without silence
The eavesdropping behind the times

One hundred thirty degrees yesterday.
Somewhere on the border between

Wet and cold.
