Finding it difficult
............ to get from one beach
to another
Pahn gets out his maps
planning a path
They will need a place to park
but the place where Pahn started
Junipera says
has been closed
Not discouraged
................. they
discuss
...............
what the public agencies
................. might let
them do
Pahn would like to allow more access
to the still water
the murky pools
the clear riffles
where the fish swim
He is considering a route
to the ocean
a
trail......................
in his mind
down the river
.........................and along the rocky surf
.................................................and
pocket gravels
to the cliffs of Charro’s daughter
where the private lands
block his way
Pahn walks into the social realm
to ask permission
for his path
meeting a
musician
who wants him to sing
The songs the musician chooses
obscure classical sonnets
in
Latin
are too difficult for Pahn
and he tells him so…
…Now
Pahn feels the need for a drain
and there are drains here
but they are broken
and the only person who could
fix one
is on vacation
…
Walking through town
there are many potholes
in the words
but he can’t repair asphalt
His red-headed companion says
there is a new boy in town
who is the only one
who can mend asphalt
Pahn finds him
in front of his mother’s store
where he has paved well
to attract business
to
their new enterprise
.
