Los Angeles is our girl,
she wears a white sundress,
her shoulder, the sunburn just peeling,
peeking out beneath
the strap that kisses the edge of her collarbone

sometimes, she wears
the wrong sort of dress,
and too much makeup besides.
It weighs her down, like a rusted
anchor, barnacled, and she,
decked in string bikini, drowns.

But beneath, if you peel her soaked
clothes off, layer by layer,
you see she's got the poise of Audrey,
the effect of Katharine

and of course, Marilyn's hips.
I sat down and wrote this during a walk at the beach
