Waiting for the Mobile Shower to Open

There’s no recovering from the sight of
Lettrist skaters rolling through 
An abandoned helicopter pad 
In a once desirable neighborhood
Spiked wrist cuffs, feathered head gear
Trafficking in language shrillingly loud 
Causing the aunties to quake in the crosswalk
Like June bugs being shaken in a tiny wood cage.

A tumbril atilt 
Corner of E Cigs and Vape 
Out tumble the trundled 
That layered look
Like a relief map of an archipelago
Or Atlantic salmon 
Playing blackjack
At an Indian casino in California. 

I think the problem is
People with umbrellas
Selling solar door to door
The sun gets cast to another screen
The map’s not to scale
And early blight is curtains if you’re a tomato
It’s a small town
But super expensive.
