Road Trip

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.
