downtown los angeles art walk

i’m not gonna write

there’s nothing to write

i’m gonna stay drunk

out here all night

 

second tuesday of every month

art walk downtown los angeles

posers and drunks

but the food trucks

have really good tacos

 

they want to stand out

street performers and artists shout

i hide in plain sight

clean cut and white

 

but they’ve never seen anything

come their way

like the author of

the dark streets of decay

 

the l.a. art scene.

what is art

once it’s seen?

 

but i’m here

part of the crowd

drunk

and wondering out loud

why everyone doesn’t just sit down

 

stop

amid the realization

that none of this

none of us

not a single thing

just doesn’t fucking matter

 

but second thursday of every month

will find me back again
