Los Angeles St.
Los Angeles St .
the dangerous curves ahead
malingeringly multiplied
linger in the august memory
of slaves here and abroad
to a pink fashion sense
roadmending abolishes quite
this is the street of heavenly views
the Amsterdam and Zurich marts
compounded daily on an account
severely multiplied in recondite addition
on a wine chest the silver salver
and brazen charger receive the slip
of paper identifying the culprit
it is a moment of supreme silence
the witness is large or small effaced
to be sure leaving nothing but a mind
scarred to be sure and no road more
assured than this one line by line
the awards show-and-tell
terrible éplucheurs raid your
icebox at night it's the brand name
action you can't stand
if it's the same damned
lack of beforehand kowtow
underneath it's the lame daisy
then came the cars along the lane
with a whiskbroom savages
the very neon signs
for the very effrontery of it
shapes and colors on the very
avenue you walk on
evanescent appalled not you
clouds synonyms wading souls
not you firmly thundering feet
