all is californian at heart

the waves

racing

and breaking

into white waters on a blank page

must come from another pacific

with entirely different

unaffected cruise ships

careening

into the blank horizons

of forgotten maps

the sea is always satisified

words

trickling down

it's gaping interior

like plancton

drifting into a sunless abyss

only to be swallowed

by a giant whale

unseen
