PART ONE FREE HERE; PART TWO HERE

motoring through the Mojave Desert

motoring towards the neon Strip

heading for the orange-tinted sunset

the light comes down

you dream of the lilac mountains

of heat and the purple hued horizon

of the kid you will become again

for:

Las Vegas

incoming

this darkening Saturday late July American summer night

Vegas is Vegas, baby

06.11 am Saturday in England/22.11 Friday here in the Vagabond Motel

San Diego

it

reminds

of

a 

Ray

Carver

story

all

packed 

into

3

sentences

you

will 

never 

stop

perusing

and:

i shave my head while others sightsee

nothing else but to create

alchemise days to goldspun lattice

paint a Bruegal from crayons

think of Laurel Canyon

the planes that sweep down at 300 Goldsmith and 2650 Rosecrans over the 7-11

into San D airport

and outside COFFEEHUB 

a homeless whose hair is matted walks past

muttering 

he is dirt ridden and

in his eyes and the eyes of 

all

the bums

the homeless

the destitute

the drug addled

you 

and 

me
