within a one block radius |
The tail of a headless rat
twists in the wind
near the steps of the porn palace
where a paraplegic emperor
defecates into a golden bowl
and contemplates the one thing
he cannot own: the immortal
streaks of fire ablaze in
the darkening sky.
I walk slowly,
savor the wind
as it blows through
the double row of megaliths
on Wilshire Blvd.-
a poor man's Champs Elysees
while behind me,
a career receptionist
stoops to retrieve
a scrap of faith
skittering in the dusty gutter.
The traffic lights linger
deliciously orange
(I am thirsty),
and the whisper of
clotted legs in corduroy
is louder than
the belligerent traffic.
The light turns green
as I step off the curb
into another set of circumstances
nowhere near as intriguing as those
I leave behind.
