Haikus for California

Every last square inch
of the earth we could cover
with tarmac we did

All of the social
dysfunction of Manhattan
none of the culture

Freeway doesn't move
Was there a good surface street?
Please move freeway, please

There's too many rats
Or this cage is much too small
Someone's been eaten

I have many friends and relatives in Cali. Don't take this too hard; I just won't live there. (And honestly, considering all the things I've said I would never ever do that I do every day, I'll probably wind up living there. But not today;))
