California Summer

By Michael Lee Johnson

California Summer

Coastal warm breeze
off Santa Monica, California
the sun turns salt
shaker upside down
and it rains white smog, a humid mist.
No thunder, no lightning,
nothing else to do
except for sashay
forward into liquid
and swim
into eternal days
like this.
