homage of sorts

Venice, Ca

Its only when I walk
down speedway
or am riding my bike
along the boardwalk
after dark
that I giggle like a little girl
how much I love this place
when all else
fails like usual
there is still my homeland
to keep my spirits soaring

Venice, my darling
is the only sanctuary
worth coveting
it trickles down the vine
into my glass
whenever it is running
on empty
she is the lady that I
will never cradle
but at least shall
treasure in my eulogy
the rest;
hookers, sloths, dissidents

they can gather the carnage
from the summer crews remains
I will balance the historics
and straighten the B&W photos
neatly inside the appropriate columns
as long as there is some 80 proof sludge
to keep my mind
fuzzy around the edges

never will I
do anything memorable
but at least I was part

of an era
that was as irresistible
as it was irrepressible
