Why I Love The Long Beach Jetty ... As Is

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
I love the LBJ
as is
with its
bird droppings
and
Graffiti 

Why do I love
the Graffiti?
 
Because
without 
South-Central
Los Angeles,
my life would have
no definition
 
THEREFORE
dedicate this page
to my homies,
the 37th Street Grapes
 
BUT 
provide no link
because
police might 
then
come knocking
on my door

Patient Gives Advice To His Psychoanalyst

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Doctor Raft
 
I am deeply
impressed
with your photographs
of
and 
your new home
in Montana 
after 
abandoning
a lifetime 
of sunshine
in Florida
with 
 its 1001
tennis courts
 
But
what impressed me 
more
were photographs
of you
wading
in the water,
fishing for trout
 
THEREFORE
I demand
you read
the book
I have sent 
you
 
There are authors
to satisfy
every
literary
(or non-literary)
taste
people may have
 
BUT
only one author
can be recommended
to people
who 
[for justifiable reasons]
no longer read
books
 _____________
_________
 
is not
at the head
(or foot)
of the table
peopled by
the greatest writers
throughout history
 
Richard's imagination
is
under that table
tickling everyone
seated above
while they attempt
to do so 
with a straight
face,
suppressing 
laughter/tears/profundity
they 
didn't know existed
 
 
Enjoy  the gift

If She Were A Football Field ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
If 
she were
a
football field 
There would be
a
big pile-up
at
mid-field
