West Coast Friendship

Are you out there?

Where the rainy days begin . . .
To feel rather sad . . .
and walls are closing in
like the darkness around me . . .

It’s so hard to look away
when the daylight doesn’t ever stay
Above this . . . dull apartment view
with this darkness around you!

It’s quite clear
that I’m stuck here
So I’ll devise a plan
and cut out a door
in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
of the rusty fire escape

I bought a one-way ticket

Cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
and we were going down

And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
I must be in California
