lessons not learned in books


everyone wants to come to this town

los angeles

hollywood

 

the last time i was in hollywood

i made love to a woman on a bed

that has probably seen

celebrity skin

 

the bed was big

the room expensive

hollywood boulevard was the sidewalk outside

 

she was a redhead with green eyes

full lips and ivory skin

wearing only a black pushup bra

 

hollywood was happening outside

and the moment wasn’t lost on me

 

i just want to learn the things

that can’t be taught in any lecture hall

 

life is for the living

the dead know nothing

not even the rate of their decay

 

life for life’s sake

my tongue upon white skin

no spirits or deities playing voyeur

 

just the moment i knew on that bed

no waiting

no building

no preparing

 

experiencing her stunning beauty

underneath my common flesh

in a town called hollywood
