Revised Older Poem: DOWNTOWN L.A. AUGUST 14, 2011



ate a wonderful chopped vegetable salad
with ten-dollar grilled salmon on top
at a new restaurant
inhabiting an old building
at the corner of 4th and Main Street
after dessert, descended a long flight of stairs
to use the men's room
and saw pictures of the landmarks
of an earlier Los Angeles
(Bunker Hill, the original Pershing Square)
altered or deleted by Progress
>
drove to Disney Hall
got lost trying to find REDCAT,
noticed young people
wanting to be famous actors or models
using the upstairs amphitheatre for a photo shoot--
and I wondered if the great Frank Gehry
would mind his grand silver creation
used as a backdrop for headshots
