done with California

we used
to think of California as
a mecca
of sorts.
a place to go
when young,
a long stretch of state
with golden suns,
beaches
with blue water
and warm
sand.
live and let live
we sang
as we drank our carrot
juice
and joined hands.
everyone was healthy,
creative and fun.
we were all dreaming
about going
there,
getting out of the snow,
out of the dark
canyons in the city,
heading west
to have fun
fun fun.
oh my, how things have
changed,
as we pack
the car once more
and head for the east coast 
again.
