City.  (san diego)

City. (san diego)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria
"

I love this town. A spoken-word performance piece I recently read at the Otherside Cafe.

"

I grew up here...

gone through the Navy at only nineteen

fresh meat they use to say

this history - now days new to me - city

 

beach city by the cool sea

not so easy - city

not too busy, too sleazy, or greasy - city,

to take your shirt off

to feel the breezy - city (i am)

curiously lost

and exciteably exploring you

city - different from my boyhood memory

not so scary-big - city

 

a great place to grow-up

openly; bike-rides on my schwinn

safely - happy - city

she's maturity, now successfully

sophisticated - city

evolved with sweetly colored understanding

city - of girls who can be

as manly and boys are

pretty, gritty - city

of individuality (like a quirky

cousin, sissy, brotha, neice

with Cali.-valley speak! - city)

 

there's so much i want to see,

learn and believe - city,

i am a long lost twin - city

just a baby,

friendly - city, sucking your full t***y - city

i'm only a baby

city - care for me daily

wish me luck

infect me - city... that i love

even in my muck and s****y

unconditionally cradle me

city...
