Venice Beach [79]
Took a walk through Venice today,
after a talk with Ryron Gracie at Jiu Jitsu class, shoes off, to my left is sand, to my right is waves, trying to slow down when life moves too fast,
walking along that place where sand meets waves, shirtless bad boys skate & flirtless good girls rarely behave, past heartbeats & heartbreaks, picnics & surf breaks, past placards for posters, posers & actors on rollerblades,
I purify my mind, from Venice Beach to Santa Monica Pier, because shady characters can make it difficult to see clear,
a Mannish Boy navigating Muddy Waters in troubled times, surrounded by folks but somehow I know weāre all all alone, I see the pain that hides in vain behind every Botox smile,
I know itās been awhile, āHello hello is this thing on?ā,
got the green light, so now Iām speaking to the blue light, girl just so you know āYou donāt have to put on the red light.ā, & sheās not Roxanne nor The Police but sheās got it poppinā, so much so that itās midday but tempted to take some bedtime, Iām tired anyways, lethargic, ready to retreat like my hairline, Iām tired, guarded, feeling defeated Lord please take me home, cary me, to the home I had before all of this, Iām over all of it, itās all politics, 4D chess, levels on levels zones in zones,
THH3 273 ā
on another level with other soul brother rebels,
& gifted sisters from other misters zoning out in The Zone, investing with whales swimming with sharks catching waves, inking with squids playing with dolphins surfing Google Chrome, yeah sure sometimes I think this lifeās not worth the trouble, even though Iāll admit itās the sweetest thing Iāve ever known,
I mean itās a miracle that we were even born,
they say odds of being born are 1 in 400 trillion,
so even when Iām down & out I donāt check out, performing live now the most interesting script ever written, the best love ever made a page in the greatest story ever told, the most incredible song ever heard in this absurd system,
in this insane existence, sometimes nothing makes sense,
I mean what the fck is this, is it even any of my business, in line outta my mind, Iāve just arrived at The Skate Park, posting up on a rail, watching the sun set in Venice, California that is not Italy, same empire different century, exhausted from beach walking & washing off the filthiness, watching kids do kick flips, turning adversity into opportunity, skate or die do or try, lifeās what happens while planning it,
this sunset, on Venice Beach is absolutely magnificent, the colors are lovely, more Godly than gaudy,
he who hesitates is lost, canāt live tomorrow today,
so Iām coming without hesitation, for whoever sends for me, donāt have to RSVP, donāt care if youāre socially awkward,
THH3 274 ā
just leave your ego at the door when you come in the party,
& yeah itās all almost over,
but hey we can still have some fun,
so pick your medicinals, yoga, smoke, liquor or other, & letās get it started now because itās all almost done.
Wow,
what incredible sights, what surreal extravagant schemes, neon tones of exuberance, fuchsias eggplants & pinks,
I think this piece has less points than an anorexic thatās obese, but thatās okay because at least it feels good to read,
they say life is the journey not the destination, but either way, please tell me what you think this is & exactly what you mean, do you believe we can cooperate or must we always compete, in too deep in this empire of concrete in a city on the beach, sometimes you need to get out of your head & go for a walk, just so you can get some fresh air & have room to breathe,
which is why I took a walk through Venice today, after a talk with Ryron Gracie at Jiu Jitsu class, shoes off, to my left is sand, to my right is waves, trying to slow down when life moves too fast...
