Redneck Riviera
















  



Sunday is a sad parade
beast like machines file past one by one
from the balcony I watch 
off-road enthusiasts slowly trundle home
Fresno, Valencia, Bakersfield
exhausted wallets and wits
overloaded with too much fun 
riding high, living free
in the ocean breeze and salty sun 
this is the Redneck Riviera 
summertime will soon be gone.

I was unpacking some books and found this scribbled in the back of a book about Elvis.  It used to be on an old blog of mine that was hacked and deleted without my consent.  Oh well, it is what it is; don’t cry over spilt milk.
