Ozone Layer
Summer comes on like a wave
the oven door is opening
and California can not save
Memories of summer you may have
from childhood they hide in your cells
summer comes on like a wave
Knowing it will come means you must be brave
deep and ready, for months you prepare
and California can not save
No place to hide there are no caves
there are no longer clouds to cover
summer comes on like a wave
The clouds are gone, they had to leave
the brightness is almost unbelievable
and California can not save
Open your sweat glands, wet your shirt
when the white heat comes it will blind
summer comes on like a wave
and California can not save
(c 2003) James Rosenquist
