Beachcomber

 

Get in your car and drive

Leave where you pay rent to subsist

On a month to month hitch

And feel alive

Even though they don’t allow it anymore

Do it anyway

Drive up the California Coast

Visit all the beaches

Of all the reaches

Of the north and south

Look around and think

Remember what you thought about

So that you can remember

What free thoughts are

Take notes by hand or voice recorder

Don’t litter on the beaches

It’ll encourage the colonization

To speed up real fast

Stand by the water in awestruck silence

A matching tune playing in your headphones

Pressures of facades fading from your dome

Life in the city has too much work

You were never much for that

You will continue to trek the beaches

Returning as much to a possibility to primordiality

As is feasible for a Manhattanite

Training to run the marathon in the sand

For the title you desire
