Round Table Challenge Prompt: Cali-(k)nights



Photo: "The Last Trip" by Macro Art




Cali-(k)nights


San Andreas motif 
decked the walls.
(we were on a budget)
Highway 1 spooled 
across time.  Motel 
sheets served more 
than one purpose.

Luxury's an afterthought.   
The only thing better
than seven on the 
richter scale was
you swimming in 
Russian River red;
me, extra dry.

    I don't know why this reminds me of that pool scene in Norma Jean and Marilyn where she swears to a beautiful boy that she'll make it big one day.

    I feel like I should be reading this with one of Mozart's concerto on.
