this is the city
------------------------------------

framed by palms italicized
by santa ana winds
roller-bladers on neon wheels
weave between oakley-eyed bikers
and polyester muumuu-ed ladies
- the complex humanity of venice beach

unreal citywalk in blistering heat
under upsided-down geranium-pink cars
between architecturalized palms
and dancing waters after an 8.3 quake
coming back to the future

gunfires of east los
reverberate in san fernando
gracias a madre de dios there is
this oasis encircled by lots one to twelve
and constant reminders from white crosses
along the san diego freeway


this is the city of the angels.
