Where I Come From

Late night drives to get donuts
in LA
like everything bagel donut
celebration cake donut

we listen to the picture 
of a radio now
but it’s kaleidoscopic
with square confetti

Rolling Rock at the Circle Bar
then hunt for vinyl
rifle through a stack

the turntable 
the turntable spins communities 
even still

double headphones
and Iron Butterfly
in the garden of eden

eat a huckleberry
then floor it across the gray ribbons
to the western edge 

an absence of headlights 

listen, 
just take the 1 to the 10
past the tar pits
then double back to blue
by virtue
