Shitty Heaven
Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it all
while I'm alone in my car, music streaming out of the speakers
Listening to songs that make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world that has ever been from
California
like I'm the only one who truly understands what it means to be born in the sand
Raised by midnight walks down to Santa Monica Beach
The crowded Pier that suffocates anyone who attempts to participate in its games
The decaying AMC on the Promenade that seems to be perpetually empty
The rusty bikes on the Boardwalk
Venice Beach, in all it's weathered glory
The melancholy ocean breeze that always smells a little rotten
I love it all, anyways
In fact, I feel possessive of the imperfection of it all
The violent urge to envelope this so-called city in a bear hug overtakes me
This shitty heaven - it only can belong to me
And if anyone speaks ill of it, a quiet anger brews in my chest that makes me want to scream
You just haven't looked in the right places yet
Because the grotesqueness of it all,
The glaringly obvious flaws littering the glamor and glitz
They're what make this place home
I protect it because it protects me
Leading L.A. poets Nicelle Davis, Bill Ratner, and Hanna Pachman feature in an evening of wild, mind-rushing, poetic vocal mystery live on-stage.
June 8th or 10th come on down to the Hollywood Fringe!
I did a hybrid reading last night with a bunch of great writers. I wanna send a Big Thx to @re.arte.la @nervousghostpress @chillsatwillpodcast Jesse Tovar @anotchka & my man @fdouglasbrown who took this shot. Doug read a new poem that had pathos to go & more imagery than Salvador Dali. Shout out also to @kpookdamayor the man who designed this shirt. #LAPoetry #letterstomycity #mikesonksen #mikethepoetLA (at Re/arte) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWSD9MqluXU/?utm_medium=tumblr
