La slang
of life drift like morning smog
down deep in the valley
caked in mud, pie crust
into earth
God's memory embedded
His plan unfolds-
mountains bursting, spurting trees springwater trickling on dewy skin
rich and famous born;
basic of all too- the artsy- the different- the thinkers
Makeup, hair, extravagant things
They rule on Rodero Drive Hollywood Hills- the West Coast is on fiya.
winding and twisting of money and power
some say "that's Cali life"
others say "it's all a lie"
Next to come, Venice, my other home
a place of culture- dancers, artists, tourists
yet all around one thing
the odd one
the difference
that unspoken reason
that generalization
the underlying problem
the wish
that need
that want
the one event everyone goes through in life:
finding yourself.
in Venice-
diverse feelings: sadness joy awe
even crazy men howling like dogs to slip steal some cash
acting to pay the rent
their livelihood is contradicting.
kids run free- either on vacation or live at the coast
community-based
"unity in all"
healthy people in mind and body
everyone is beautiful
