Everything here
is tilted down toward the beach
parking lots, pyronauts, rockslides,
mermaids, mariachis, telephone
poles, shape-shifters, dogs,
dope fiends, seagulls & surf zombies
“I go there for the music”
piano tuning up in a tidepool
guitars strung w/seaweed
drums buried in the sand
(only to further the
variegated complications
the surface of all I see
lit up from inside
the derivative haze
a watery page in the Bible of Whomp
