Hashtag CaliA Poem by the tipsy writerPessimistic, I knowI took to California like a wildfire in the rain; Trader Joes could not make up for Blistering skin in drying heat Or traffic gnawing at my insanity. Kept intact by THC. Inflation hit the farmers hard. Or was that tomato kissed by God? “I’d never live where there’s tornados.” But you have PTSD from the fires. Smoke is my new filter. Hashtag Cali Hashtag global warming. I went to the woods To live deliberately Along with thousands of others Who wanted to suck out that same marrow. So I’m waiting in line in my car. And I’m waiting in line in the store. And I’m waiting to breathe fresh clear air. And I’m waiting to get out of here. © 2024 the tipsy writer |
