The Cabrillo Highway

We'll drive
up the winding, two lane road

all its length;
just you,
me,
your luggage,

and my regrets.

In a beat-up, old
Chevy convertible -

with the top down,
the whole way.

Past Hearst Castle,
through Big Sur,
over the gorge
and into Monterey.

Santa Cruz,
Pacifica,
Seaside,
and Half Moon Bay.

We'll navigate Devil's Slide
then stop -

and there

in the shadow
of the Golden Gate,

is where I'll tell you a secret.
