I'm Found in West LA


off Corinth.


I make Tacos de Fideo

because the sky said

it equals to Aztlan.


One time, I make them.

Decide to act all foodie

and experimental.


Ramen is cut to

Fideo lengths.


Broth is

influenced by spicy

characteristics of 

Sawtelle Ramen spots.


One time, my brother's ex

was being a baby

and made us wait 

a long ass time

to get ramen.


Glad I live close enough

to fiddle with keys to

enter my apartment.


Anyways, because

me aburro

de pollo,


yo come

los Fideo tacos

con un thick

beef patty.


I'm found in West Los

off Corinth.


where the wind

y un possible arsonist

equaled a conflagration.


I went to Super Domestic.

Got a latte.


Dude handed me 

a surgical mask.


Used it for days

until I found free

N-95s

Off the LA Metro 

4 to Santa Monica.


Used it for days

until the smoke

cleared away.


I ride the 4

to Westwood Bl

to rest where

that person I spoke with once


would pass away,

hours later in the sun.


I sit there

to remember this person

right before his ascension

to Aztlan.
