my neighor died last night
kid my age
fell off the high cliffs of San Pedro
shattered onto rock
the ones that battle the sea...
came from a decent family
hard laboring mexicans
that never smiled
in fact the only time i ever saw the kid smiling
was when he would drive
reckless
taking the corners at 45
screeching 50 in a school zone
making the streets look like
a *******
when i first heard about it
i wondered if he'd jumped?
does that make me an *******?
didn't you think that too?
would you have jumped?
...**** man...
suddenly my face isn't looking
that bad
