The oak that used to watch
me twenty years ago was gone
one day. Huge, it was, in
the middle of an onion field.
A friend in summer, a skeleton
of beauty in winter, home
to hawks and crows. There's a Lowe's
there now, where they sell
oak flooring, oak tables,
oak of every kind, except living.
The old covered train trestle
that watched over
the Santa Clara River
is gone, too. I only just
noticed last week,
riding past the new
apartment complexes,
shopping centers,
and foreclosure signs
on my way to God knows where.
I wonder if they'll notice
when I'm gone, too. Gone
to find the oaks, and bridges
and history that California
left behind.
Look away, look away, look away.

We were beginnin to think that "the oak" was gone, too, as we drove out on Hywy 14 this am.
Saw a sign pointing "this way." Drove on to Placerita Cyn Rd. Finally asked in a fire station; told to look in the Nature Center, back abt 3 mis. We believe this Is the Place. By this time is was hot and we old folks were too tired to explore more than one trail. Park off. closed. But check it out. 19153 Placerita Cyn Rd. Hope it's not under a Lowe's!
