Geographically Undesirable in the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

 (for Julianne)

I dream warm nightmares of six million
next door neighbors sharing my lumpy quilt.
We mend the patchwork between mountains and sea.
Tonight I weave along the seams, scanning,
threading through colors and textures, darning
the ever changing landscape--- building dreams. 
No one drives alone. I leave my car
on a glass sequined cigarette burn.
Walk to the end of a run in your fabric,
hug you, and tie together loose strings.
