Isla Vista
Isla Vista
Life by the beach
students on fire
chicks with tattoos
streets filled with hope and crank
the guy from Hawaii is the coolest
away from mom and dad
high school was so yesterday
party at the Bob Marley house
after party in the morning
beer belly and whiskey dick
fake tits and nipple rings
warm beer and cold pizza
mac and cheese fills the cracks of the heart
cocaine and top ramen
beer pong and daddy issues
upside-down keg cups
live music with too much bass and no vocals
couches burn the night away
stuck in a bathroom
solving the worlds problems
fraternities on a wild pussy hunt
sororities seeking justice
life in limbo
board shorts and salt water
skate shoes and morning shame
what will become of the next four years?
will I make it to class tomorrow?
existence in the sand
makes for hard parties and headaches
someday we will be adults
someday we will work for the man
hide from the fuzz
this life has no seatbelt
ride the wave
don’t get her pregnant
send money

Eric - I am currently watching a box set on Sky called Aquarius. Its broadly about the Charles Manson era and the settings and characters are reflected in your piece. Not sure your intention was a hippy trip back to the sixties, but it has that feel. Very well done sir!
