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.
