The way the sky looks it seems we should be ten minutes from the beach.
Palm trees and residential hell.
Don't cheat yourself out of a good time, don't lock yourself inside.
Come lay on our brightly colored towels and listen to eighties music.
Ice tea and cigerettes.
The beach is five hours from here.
But there's something else just over the hill.
We stand on one leg and stick our tonugues out at each other.
Were not as grown up as we pretend to be my love.

LOL, residential helll...as is typical in southern California, where I grew up

Hmmm, time to stop squabbling and go watch the surf, eh?

Five hours, huh....it takes me an hour to get to the closest beach...but sometimes you can pretend, out in the sun with a towel and some kind of water, can't you?  Enjoyed!

the most relaxing and peaceful place on the earth.....is the beach--tends to make its own realities and distortions at times. enjoyed
