...after reading Bukowski
hitched a ride
with an angel
in Topanga Canyon
riding on his back
straight downhill
except hairpin curves
heading to the Coast Highway
dead ahead - Pacific Ocean
right - Malibu
left - Santa Monica
(he requested)
....never been to Malibu
(I responded)
....don't bother
( he retorted )
let's go to the Santa Monica Pier
& ride the Ferris wheel
& fly in circles
my wings are getting tired
