Staying Beyond Redemption

Staying Beyond Redemption -

LA (Los Angeles)?

what i see

gaunt faces
dirtied dreams
spoiled … soiled … beings

shopping cart abodes with garbage bag roofs

amber urine paints hot pavements in Rorschach patterns
(i see … what you once were)

body stench … flowers on bus seats

shoe-less feet the color of asphalt
“want me to massage your feet”?
He asks at the bus-stop.

before an insouciant crowd …
HE … they … ransack trash …
for food …
&
devour …
your cum

LIQUOR stores … everywhere … LIQUOR stores & fried chicken & FRIED … people.

SHE …
you do not see her eyes anymore …
just-through-them
trapped gossamer gazes

LA.streets.strip.PRETENSE.in.a.city.
of.PRETENSE

ersatz persons …
devolved from …
the ethic of pretension

a rich overcast of defeat & loneliness

a golden state … fool’s gold

salaciously FLAUNTING …
what you …
NEVER
will
have
