the palm at the end, beyond the fence
a last thought of green.
pavement declines to nothing – now what?
lawns gone bronze, water’s like tinfoil
once you could find a spot
catch a feed maybe,
now the bay’s full of shopping carts
& gangsters tied to cookers.
Maggie won’t let me in to get my stuff.–
laughs cruelly,
says I have no idea.

very bleak!
