The Young Person’s Guide To Summer In Santa Cruz
Sing ho for the life!
Yoga tea, daisy chains, arugula pizza, clean desk
Beach, shower, cocktails sundress windy
Day sunset.
Dance, dance, revolution church
brunch coloring,
tea painting.
Cold beer hot day
breezes massage
heat mirage.
I want it remixed for a rain dance party
Sunshine amber ale
Iced tea red umbrella
Family farmer’s market yoga
yoga yoga yoga yoga.
lie in cuddle fest
with long lost friends
reunion tea honey mirror
rescue good book
soup laughter dance dance
dance dance blisters on
my blistered bliss.
How bout a Jazz funeral for the man?
Long walk, real talk.
Bouldering sunset vodka tonic
beach concert river granola
bars and the redwood drive radio
For the ending, star gaze
In the night coast,
chill clear air.
