Blame it
on the
ley lines.
Or blame
it on this
city itself.
These bodies
can tan
10 months
out of
the year
without the
mind ever
wondering
where the
winter went.
Give them
a little
rain and
watch them
seek refuge
in the shopping
malls where
they buy
designer
rain boots
and jackets.
Things they
know they'll
only use on
the oddest
of these grey
Los Angeles
winter days.
