Perfect Days by Debra Rose

Studying across the maze of
bolt holes and rocky ways
a haze of emotions and influence appears
as if to take the heart
and drop it off the Santa Monica
Pier, you remember that trip?
The games, the clams,
the sand and the lips
that kissed underneathe the pale
streaming light,
I never wanted it to sink down into night
but wishes go ungranted
and it's not like it matters,
our ambitions are flimsy
and our egos are fatter,
I almost wish that someone come along
and pop
the air in our heads, our eyes
and make the time stop
for five more seconds so I can
go back to that day,
feel the heat of sun and the warmth
of ocean waves.
Smell the salt and the seals
and the early morning breeze--
the bus of high school students
on two days with no sleep.
The sound of laughter and murmurs
And smiles and skies,
and a day that is a memory
that never will die.

This was inspired by a trip sponsored by the school down to California. I think it was Santa Monica Bay...there was a Pier there, and it had this carnival on it...and this guy who bought a necklace for me. It was a lot of fun. A perfect day.
