Tar Pits

A poem about the tar pits.

 

sinking deep in

the tar pits of oil

near the streets of lala land

is where I'd like to be

tonight

 

as the black stew

bubbles and brews

I too could coo

until the stew

covers my lips

 

LA. is a great place

to mildew with the

ancient dinosaur pit

 

my cousins would

say I lost my wits

staring at those

stinky pits in the

streets of lala land

 

at least I went

down on my

own terms

no germs

to worry about

down deep

in the pits of LA
