For All The Sand in Cucamonga

Time is like a handful of sand – the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers. -Thoreau

i wouldn't want to have to carry your burdens alongside 'ya

nor for barbarella's jane fonda

not for a chimichonga

not for a brand new, shiny honda

not even for all the sand in cucamonga

Author's Note

“My life is like a stroll upon the beach, as near to the ocean's edge as I can go.” - Thoreau
