It’s true, Lake Lagunitas sparkles like
the windows at Bulgari, but, as I’ve
remarked before, you idolize your hike,
why can’t I idolize Rodeo Drive?
And I agree, a giant redwood has
an urban grandeur, and in spite of fog,
Sonoma and Marin are pretty as
the latest Crate & Barrel catalogue.
But while the woods may be a match for, say,
a crowded Music Center symphony,
the difference is: your trees (unlike LA)
are not as equally impressed by me.
Imagine the safaris I can buy us.
Just let me be, for once, your Tamalpais.

Always enjoy your stuff Eric. An urban perspective. I'm nature boy myself but I know many folks who see beauty in the city.
