The Towers of Watts

CATEGORY

Views: 493

Iron spires tower higher than concrete streets.

Compton corners California dreaming, the sun also shines in South Central.

Unconscious internment codified by LAPD manstoppers, 

Felony stops start on Slauson Avenue.

Khaki creases, starched in coupes dropped...

Rollin 60s,  Spray painted manifestos saying WE ARE STILL HERE

On liquor store walls.

Primary colors separate boys

Primary colors make men pull triggers on themselves.

Wars with no names leave 44 caliber consequences..

Smells of gunpowder and blood hover like monster reefer...

Chalk outlines,  asphalt dividing lines, crisscross similar faces.

Making strangers of brothers..
