as california falls into the sea
slower than we believed
and the mud tumbles over itself
attempting to break free
as the ocean rises up to meet it
250 feet away
and see where the shoreline
becomes the sky
as the water is as blue as ever
sparkling against brown earth
and the canyon turns the roadway
inside out
there'll be a tombstone along
what once was route 1
sinking slowly to pacific floor
all the tortuous gray
will be forgotten
all the cars will rust
and drown below
unseen
forevermore
