Slab City


Contest by Anthony Biaanco

 

Slab City

    Unincorporated The Slab City
    Off-the-grid different community.
    Slab City is a place of real danger,
   whether be a resident or stranger.
    
     Lawless free city, yet hundred fifty 
     families live without facilities 
     of electricity or sewerage,
     running water : Yourself to arrange.

     In Slab City retirees or visitors 
     known as snow birds coming to spend winter.
     No need to buy any land, it is free.
     Build your house with own effort in spree.

     Local police may have jurisdiction :
     No use in critical situation.
     Get absolute freedom to commit crime.
     Have perfect scope to turn into victim.
  
    If daredevil or crazy to visit :
    None gives objection or none will assist.
    Rough rigorous life as if life sentence
    A vagabond may gain experience.
