lyrics

As if one were looking through a fog, trying to make
something out, like when it was, still, a village: before
urban renewal construction destruction obscured
West Coast horizon and suffocated the sun.

7. Making Out With Westwood Village

Pegasus: the stuff of myth even though
I know it’s advertising something: some
gasoline station logo slow motion twirl:

This flying red horse
as if it were a flaming ballroom
horse-head strobe globe for a few
gods and goddesses in an enflamed
tribal romp

In my 4-year old brain I realize
someday the gods and goddesses
of urban renewal will bring that lofty
plastic beastie down / down / down
from it's flamboyant perch: it's
West Coast blue sky smog-free open air
mythic farm yard will be grounded forever

In mindless 1970’s inertia to
pin it with paint to an idiot aluminum slab
tomb never to spin again on its fiery
flagrant and towering Mt. Olympian immortality

The long slow slide down Wilshire Boulevard
the simple symmetry of a flying red horse
So, we watch: don’t we: in our imaginations?
