GOLDEN BEAR STATION
escaped los angeles, escaped home too
headed north then north again
killed time up a grade, walked around
deer jumping by on their way
descended to sit down
drank a bottle of carignan, glass of lemonade
back to it out the door
but we had dinner, that’s for sure

salad and a garden pool, little spring in the base, peas, asparagus, carrots
