California
california smells different
a musky smell of dusty palm trees
swaying in time to shallow desires of fame
cigarettes put out on cement sidewalks
people sighing about social dilemmas
and fashion choices
the los angeles streets running all the way upstate
into car windows and our collective consciousness
san francisco ocean waves
the boardwalk a pale fire at sunset
sand dispersed in waves of contemplation
a sadness and promise of better things
to come to those
who saw this state
as a re-do and new start
