Long Beach

Long Beach-
The cool off-shore breeze kissed my face
wiping her kiss away from my cheek.
I smiled with the thoughts of last night
still fresh in my head.
I took a drag and squinted as the sun
flexed it’s superiority; heat waves
forming in the distance.
But no being, fallible enough to create me;
could have created such a day.
This paradise pocked with litter
(The acne of convenience)
is home.
I take a drag and ash into the Santa Annas.
I laugh as the humming birds twitch by
in their business suits with nooses tied
tight around their throats
unable to see the world before them.
Thank you my love, for this day.
For your beauty is much more than a Polaroid,
or these cheep words could ever describe.
I took one last look…
one last drag…
and then it was back to the assembly line.
