The Story of My Time

by

Michael H. Nguyen

 

The story of my time

            starts at the center               where

            my city’s heart has no

                        specific place           but

we used to have a booming

                                    business industry

 

somewhere

 

an hour and half away

                           from LA

            certainly is an alien place

            haunted consistently

                        consistently lacking rain

 

the temperamental climate

shifts                 72 today

            103 the next

 

this is the story of my time

                                    wherein

june

our residents seek escape

                        there will be no rain

 

so the silence

 

            it speaks so openly in the street

where some seek faith

 

mt rubidoux’s cross speaks of faith

            not always a christian faith

                        but faith in my city

                is often faith

      all the same

 

this is the story of my time

where               here

            june

residents

seek

 

(escape)
