Cindy Hoo

Out out
wear the pout
dont talk and do the walk
your shadow crawling
your hip dsysplazia
display scrawl

long for the length
of summer heat hunger
sweating against
the sheen or your patina
smile turned up
and watching the fisher hawk
dousing meals while the
dock hockers cruise the magic
mile

all the dead cigarette butts
washed up on shore like the
carton shipwreck of life
smoked down
and drowned

megaphone girls intone
in their drag monotone
"doncha go past the boo EE'es
cause yer on yer own.."

and the summer sun slings
waves of warmth against our
skin basking in this breezy
stealth

steal us backpage summer stage
and we dust our gritty toes
amongst the lush green grasses
the ducks fatten on

and the traffic goes by slow
as the second takes on La La Land
boulevard
