Reading Notes W11: Henderson, Part A

*up thru Berkeley trees
*beyond the grand white hotel
*where upon the mountain crest
*California 13 above Oakland
*running with the silver gleam of the bay
*and the distant mountain range across the waters
*heading for L.A.
*past the windmills and the Valley,
*Breadbasket of America agribusiness cornucopia
*Highway 5 in the mist of nowhere
*no cities or radio only rest stops and gasoline
*to the rise of the Grapevine and the descent
*a cloud that seems to be the aftermath of an atomic bombing
*presents the famous atmosphere of Los Angeles
