i am walking towards sunset and gower in hollywood, california an aged man tap dances for me in the echoing garage of a foreclosure a bug is sleeping between the quick and the dead when a raindrop falls on it, jolting it flamboyantly a small boy with perfectly combed and pomaded hair, and carrying a briefcase, follows proudly his mother (?) down the sidewalk a bum's heavy load is thrown over his other shoulder in a bright spank of sun a rare yugo parked in the driveway of a duplex, egg splatter drying across taillights and rear window the crass bebop step of an old ******* nearing the ***** section of the sidewalk newstand a sudden gust of wind flattening the fur of a standing collie a silver/gray tourist bus passes slowly, the voice of the driver unintelligibly droning energetically i open the screen door of roscoe's house of chicken and waffles, and see a vacant table by the window

CITY RAMBLE TOWARDS A LATE BREAKFAST
