Topanga Canyon California
My kids like the Smashing Pumpkins… I used to throw pumpkins at that band… yet it is a strange truth to this story… that does describe that early time… 1979… to the young nobody punks that no one fucking cared about… !! Remember you all?
Five Generations of the snake
That leads to the sea.
Today I took that snake
Five Generations of the snake
That leads to the sea.
Today we took that snake
To the sea.
The smell of the salt
To grandmother’s house.
The Hippies, incense, and candles
As they hitchhiked to their utopia.
Near Mulholland
The lonelier days of hitching rides
High as a kite on the road
The old VW bug.
Where I nearly died after
Coming home from the snake
Body separating from it’s chassis
On Dumetz and Canoga.
“Hey ho” with the Red Hot Chili Peppers
As we drive the
Labyrinth towards the Pacific Coast Highway
Side streets viewing the vast Pacific Ocean
Listening to 1979 form the 1990’s
On the CD.
But now making
Memories with my son
“Cause we like to party”
On the long snake.
Garage sales and antiques
And our first sporting view of
The wild purple lupines of spring.
