Sunset over San Deigo, CaliforniaSend down roots
to grab and to hold.
Tighten your grip.
Don't let it slip!
But even those
who build on rock
should be ready
for it to sway.
Don't say,
"This ain't California!"
as though you know
what lies below,
what tensions
have increased,
and are about
to be released.
