  A Day in the Life 


We lived in West Hollywood then
in a one bedroom 30s court and
the Ohio Players had a funky new
album.  In the late afternoons

I would be spellbound by the
shadows of the poinsettias
on the buff-colored stucco
walls.  All things seemed alright

for the moment.  We could do
anything we wanted just by
walking out the front door.
The cannas were blooming on

Santa Monica boulevard and one
of our neighbors had a part on
      the Donnie & Marie show.
