What is it about my seaside town
ninety miles north of LA
a chattering of starlings, a labor of moles
that makes the washed-up celebrities
who have washed up here
a pandemonium of parrots, a clat of worms
act like animals in the aggregate
each individual bent to the collective sway
a fleet of mudhens, a flock of lice
They migrate from bar to restaurant
and back to bar dying to be recognized
a kettle of vultures, a mischief of mice
the sidekick in some distant sitcom
the beef- or cheesecake who once turned heads
a quiver of cobras, a troop of apes
but they pass among us diffuse
and unnoticed like sunlight in shade
a lounge of lizards, a scold of jays
