Californian family holiday goodbye
The beach center was all palms and people
All trying to withdrawl style as if it was currency
mother was raving and father was fumbling
doing and saying pure meanings of life
we exited the sunlit building
palms farewelling us
Now we could feel the sense of voyage
the sense of family
we could see Meryl Streep running a red light
and sarcastically predicting our next words
Looking over the coast as if it were a banquet
pondering on whether we could extend the trip
brains onto phones and who to call
then down to hail a taxi
from the yellow dusty beachside stripmall
And along came a blessed indian man joined at the hip to his wife
moles and flesh all exposed
seats for everyone except my trip itself
Wealth declarers had invited us to their mansions
their four square discourses negotiating our consciences
the sense of being bought
Pushed into a solution inside someone elses head
