		(death delineated -- in white -- in black shine of sodium)
		----------------------------------------------------------

		walking back on the cable-bisected hollywood leeway,
		going not the lee way.
		notice in glaring high shout sodium light
		the freezing splashing like salty slicks
		fresh.  not on the lee side.
		crossing upon imagining:

		suppose i slipped yelped and splashed in
		no way to swim around the deadman's leeway
		in deadman's parka
		to the lee beach
		too steep to climb the storm wall
		too far from yelp to help
		besides -- just exactly _who_?

		the damned park closes at 11
		any way -- lee or windward.
		and the almost all ebony homeless don't get no practice
		neehowtown  nee lee town that works!
		at rescue the almost ebony-only piano kids

		i'm special so special, i've gotta get some of yer
		(blocks-away sheltered) attention
		give it to me...  cuz i...  gonna make you see...
		keep yer fucken futting by yerself lugowski...
