Addressing Seamy California


Such sentimental trenches such tender affliction to arise as a perceived monster; so delicate in private or defensive in public realizing most often those chambers; to have loved adoringly or to have died valiantly at something quite vivid; those existential eyes those alienated undercurrents those taller difficulties; so complete in deaths such riveting philosophic while becoming cynical; this invisibility in this shallow pond where each is at something important; to need certain realities while most are halfhearted where each person demands eternity.

We palm fire or drip with arrogance as something protecting self-imagery; we meet figures such small conversation to walk away dependent upon our insecurities; we desire deference this yielding to titles and where it is absent we become obscene; flowers mean so little, we merely glance at skies, while we notice anything seeming independent; such creatures, such California mentalities, while many haven’t earned our trust.

It becomes irrelevant, for only others jump through hoops, and many treat kids like borrowed objects: damn near another planet, eyes filled with chimneys, or so liquefied it hurts.

Our reflectors palm lives—our rearview depends upon self-deflection—while despite clear evidence we side with comforts; these battlegrounds or one dying for goodness where reality is always heavy; such religious habits such convenient choices or familial concrete; such to ask an Asian woman, about this life of equality, compared to a Caucasian woman; or an ex-slave looking for Promise in a world a bit dismissive; or a struggling Filipino in this vast vessel dependent upon tomorrow looking the same.

A bit downward asking questions perceived as one that must show leniency; a world we cherish or a therapist we admire or a psychiatrist we fuss with; where each has a diary and everyone has a motive where pure defensiveness is a copout.

But trust is an issue in a world using and offering pain where essence is trampled underfoot; this island for humble men this strength by humility or a world having little space for too much reflection; our decisions are quick, and we’ll figure it out, as feet trek into blue wilderness.

We hope for utopia—if I give my body to you—this is a pledge to cherish me.

We often sense manipulation in an evolution of sensories while this has become labelled: if it interferes with rudiments, if it shows resistance, then we give it a negative connotation.

One might hope for something open, while memories are selective, or one calls a child in a soothing voice and then does something vicious.
