towards the orange groves

everyone is going south
for one reason
or another.
the climate, the taxes,
a divorce,
or new spouse.
they have their reasons
to pack 
their bags, throw
away their boots and
overcoats.
leave behind their shovel
and salts.
they put on flowered shirts
and lotion
to block the sun,
they point the car toward
the orange groves.
their life is done.
