I Live Slowly

I live quite close to where the Angels play
And also very close to Disneyland
A home run might break my window someday
Or some sparkling stars from the fireworks land
On my lawn like fairies and then be gone

I live near Chapman University
And hope their fresh ideas will hasten dawn
I live in the Antique Capital of
California in a haunted house
But the ghosts are kind and only bring love

I have a cat who would not hurt a mouse
He and I share life simply and meekly
In the Plaza Square by the fountain there
I have written six books of poetry
And I like to read the OC Weekly

Come visit and go to Starbucks with me
And I will show you an alternative
To the America some of you know
Which goes so fast and thinks that I am slow
I live slowly in a nice place to live
