“Let’s Go”

I want to live in Cabo San Lucas

a mansion with an amazing view and

walls made of elegant sliding glass doors

that bring the ocean to you

oh just a room with a view would be fine,

a condo/apt, gated

but i want to feel something,

and this plan will achieve just that.

a 500 gallon wall aquarium packed with GloFish

and mostly just the wind

drifting through the room

and the sound of waves

of the Pacific

pounding and surfers

every now and then.

or the Sea of Cortez,

calm and clear

and the sun

beating down

all day

and the ground still warm

late at night

under a dark sky and

the brightest stars

we could sit and watch

over tequila

in the city

half of the restaurants

dont have a roof

or even nicer,

in a jacuzzi

sipping bubbles

blowing bubbles

floating thru the air

and we wont have to care

about much

i promise

we wont plug in,

wont see the ugly parts

hear the news stories

and real life stories

we follow to tragic ends

we cant stop the war

or the evening news

but it's quite possible

to not follow the live stream

we may know too much

all the time

more than is good

and become blind

to our own reality's

beauty

theres other things to focus on

or think about

or over-analyze

and living in washington dc,

am lambasted with a fair

amount of politics

i love DC

but make no mistake,

theres no laid back vibe

flowing

"Life is too short

to spend it at war with yourself"

every so often

a flight to vegas

is in our best interest

no clocks

slot machines

ding ding dingin

will drown out

more than you think

and ultimately,

perhaps,

the real American Dream

is the escape
