El Pescadero
02 May 2010I’m nine miles to whale city
2 people went by in blue
Another group of 3 in white and red
On the left
Everything is starting to open up now
With a maximum speed of 55
Trying to stick to the right side of the road
But focused on the left because of the ocean
There’s just so many cars out here
What kind of person do you have to be
To turn on your lights all day
vs.
Being the kind of person that knows
You don’t need to turn on your lights
Until it gets dark at night
I don’t know
I’ll just keep driving
Trying to figure why we were designed
To cross the road and not really have
A full understanding
Of how fast cars are coming at you
Shouldn’t that be built in?
Everybody that I’ve seen
Tries to cross the road when it’s busy
Always underestimating the arrival time
Slower traffic keep right
I’m starting to lose some of the green
And gain some of the grey, the brown
It’s gets dryer the farther up north that you go
I’m heading to this location where
People are living an analogy
Of cultivating themselves and turning over soil
Starting fresh with a new approach
In perfect weather
Surrounded by others that are also trying to grow
I’m still driving
There’s a passing lane ahead
But slow traffic still needs to keep right
“For more information”
And a phone number in miniscule print on a road sign
That’s too small to read when you are going 65mph
That never made sense to me
