Northern Cal..
makes me want to watch sparrows in the grass,
unlike city sparrows,
who wont let us park our cars underneath their nests.
all the boys on the block shoot their be-be guns
and throw rocks and sticks.
mother said "dirty birds with lice and ticks."
but even weeds are good here,
with blooms of their own.
the possibilities, i have never known.
this is a place to grow old,
in the thick green grass,
watching sparrows.
