WONDERFUL DAY IN ERASERHOOD

It’s a wonderful day

in Eraserhood

albeit nippy & windy

but Love City triumphs over all.

 

I think of David Lynch

& his inspiration—both dark and twisted.

There’s still cobblestone,

decay, abandoned buildings

 

but now a brewpub or two;

concert venue; murals on the wall.

 

The fabled Trestle Inn

successfully transitioned

from scary, real life dive bar

to trendy, faux dive bar.

 

The creep element is fading

Conner Barwin’s hairdo

got ran out of town.

 

It’d likely traumatize Lynch

all over again.

The forgotten railway tracks

will become a sky park.

 

The day will come

when empty Yard’s beer cans

outnumber used syringes

littered on the street.

 

but hopefully we’ll stop

at empty Yard’s cans.

 

First sighting of 

an empty Dom Perignon—

you know they’ve gone too far.
