…one road
goes through the place
the PCH… you can take
the canyon routes
but often, only to dead ends
or cul-de-sacs with fences
and KEEP OUT signs –
that's my village, a mix
of the public and private
where some are allowed
and others are kept out –
off the waves
and on specific routes
and passageways….
