A Trip to The City

For Talent’s fortunate sons and daughters,

a trip to San Francisco is always fun and worth

the price of gasoline.  To go to a ball game or

just be seen, The City offers laughter and mirth,

a respite from Talent’s day-to-day; a way to  let

off steam and enjoy the scenery along the Bay,

to shoot photos and play the radio when the best

jazz DJ is on the air, to discuss here and there as

they swirl past through a windshield with wipers

still, the sun beating down like a Sunny Murray solo,

the wind warm, the fields fallow, the back roads

clear of human concerns; with Lizzie and Big Mike 
riding along, murmuring in the back seat, what more
need be done?  A trip to The City is at the core.
