it smells like Victory Blvd in poetry

peach ring bag
spanish newsmag
Christmas lights two months late

dentist’s ad
basketball flag
ivy on a rusty gate

the rush of cars
on surface streets
like ocean waves
to some people

the beating bleats
of car alarms
like seagull calls
to some people

I don’t belong here
but maybe somewhere like here
though I have no idea
how I’d find the money to stay
though I’ve no idea how to find
money anywhere anyway

hamburger sack
layover lag
the distant smell of
strangers smoking dope
its bad flashbacks and hope
