at t.v. cafe
off alameda and olympic
fellini square dances
with E.T.
while wrapping
wet burritos
lathered in sour cream
menudo stew
with telemundo's topless dancers
on the dollar change machine
jukebox jiving
besides 2am truckers
with the AC blasitng 50 degrees along
the bathroom doors...

  sitting beneath the HVAC atop boxed
beverage brews
of the pomona glass house soaking in the la habra suds
from daddy bob
staring at sparkle toes
through the mezzanine bar
of dangling indie limbs as explosions in the sky
seer into concussive beats tightening november into a year blurred in elysian city scapes of citrus lights
glazed over
corona pastures
cultivating the
re-birth of rural roads

la puente
my life consumed by yesterday:
By 9:49 pm Ferrell's Donuts off Ocean Street, Santa Cruz, was brimming. The locals would spend the last moments of their night to share stories with my good friend Charlie the graveyard donut maker, the god damn inventor of Double Nine. Some of them wagered bets in anticipation of the new football season while others indulged their quarters to a game of Street Fighter and Metal Slug. I caught up with Charlie with a cup of coffee. By 10:39 I left Ferrell's for my next cup.

the smell:
friday night was a blur between back alley bars
serving under age kool aid
and the chef of patina
dishing minimalist
french faire
for the price of 99 double quarter pounders with cheese
beneath frank ghery's architectural american splendor.
