My Southern California

My California is not,

the neurotic
augmented
housewives of ___________
living on Disneyland street.

My California i not,

the 11 o'clock
shoot em up
"news."
red
carpet
excess.


My California is,

ridges
steep as
a
cows
face.
covered in
Yucca
purple sage
prickly pear
and
Cholla

My California is,

orchards of
yellow
lemons
and green
avocado.
strawberries
red
in the
fields.

My California is,

Silver sun
on
rolling
waves.
shore birds
wade
in
foam.
kites
in
the wind.


That's my Southern California
The real, Southern California
