ARIEL

Every day 
I put on my nude body stocking, 
red wig, 
and clam shell bra
to sing happy birthday
to a child whose name I do not know 
at the freshly-carpeted indoor playground
on the second floor of the strip mall
above the photo copy place 
and across from the Persian Social Club
is another day I wonder 
if my mom was right
and I’m really not cut out
for life in Los Angeles.
