Delongpre Avenue West of Vermont
Oct 26, 2021
Driving west on DeLongpre
Past forgotten rest homes
On forgotten streets
In forgotten neighborhoods
Filled with forgotten people.
Squirrels crawl along the power lines
Between off center telephone poles.
A dirty dusk belittles them
With Hollywood curses.
So cute. So sincere. So deadly.
Dirty dusks proving glorious radiant sunsets
Another way of Hollywood selling sweetness made from shit.
The p.r. campaigns never stop.
Even the squirrels have agents.
“We thank our hero’s”
Spout the banners.
There’s more honesty
In the pile of dogshit that bakes on the sidewalks
Soon to be sniffed by a squirrels twitching nose
