We drove to Copperopolis
because we wanted to take a drive
somewhere we’d never been.
I saw the name Copperopolis
on a map
and said we should go there
because it’s fun to say Copperopolis.
So we drove
to Copperopolis
under beautiful clouds
unexpected heavy rain
and periods of sunshine.
We explored a new area
of the Earth
we had never seen.
We walked around the town square
of Copperopolis
that looked like a combination of
Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls
and Hill Valley from Back to the Future –
minus the clock tower.
After lunch at Griff’s –
as in Biff’s grandson –
we drove back home
on other roads
we had never driven
adventuring
exploring
and enjoying time
with each other.
