No war here
no famine
nor pestilence
And yet and yet
Heard poets last light
Shedding hearts
At the center-- Los Angeles
where the D line smells but
the A line is fresh clean but
not going to Harlem
We go to Lil Tokyo
new instead
Like a Lil Boy
Or like how a Fat Man
empties a plate
Like skin regenerating
in a dish instead
of scarring
like melanin'd flesh
A new skein
An Avatar
With white voice
And black bodies
Got to listen to some poets night - DTLA
Bridgette Bianca
