FOURTH PLACE
I Hear Los Angeles Singing
By K. I. M.
Burbank, California
O, the smell of sagebrush in the Springtime!
The popping poppies!
The rattling rattlesnakes!
Yes, hiking high above the
smoggy L.A. Basin,
Is where you'll find me,
This coming Springtime.
O, and what a banquet will spread
before me!
The urban sprawl!
The roaring freeways!
Yes, hiking high up on the dusty
hillsides,
Are where you'll find me,
This coming Springtime.
O, and when I hear that crunching
sound!
And see a mountain bike
Bearing down ... !
Yes, then I'll know I'm hiking on
a fire road,
Where total rudeness
Is allowed.
