"Cali Dreamin: Just like Faye”                  

​

What is it? Romanticized, it's a dream of a place unlike ours

So we pine for it, that hidden spot,we daydream

and wonder “Where will we be in x-many years”

or “Who will we be after visiting <X>...”

I hate “Xs” but love to dream, a guilty pleasure

burdened by waking,this Cali dream though,

it burdens some till, they arrive back home

and reply “It was fine.” but no, I'd rather

dance freely as a beautiful pop-singer only can,

dance to the Mamas and the Papas and exist in

the lens of a genius auteur.

Me? I lived the Calidream, though to me it was

less romantic and impossible to grasp,but still, I understand

it,unlike the American Dream or the Chinese Dream, the

California Dream is closest to me.

C'est la vie, I'm done chasin other men's dreams.

But I'll never stop being inspired by them.

“All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray”

California dreamin' like Faye
