dear Mike Meraz

By Devil lyn



   somewhere    in Whittier
   your poetry
   is walking
   down
   the street
   to buy
   cigarettes
 
   aged 41 now,
 
   I read you last night,
   sitting
   on the edge
   of my bed
 
   envisioning you
   `watching it burn`;
   it`s obvious
   you`re nowhere
   near
   the ocean.
