SLAB IS FAB

SLAB IS FAB I just found out about the town of Slab City Well, perhaps it is not really a town as such It sounds like a mix of Hippie and Wild West Where a civilisation, in its way, has regressed But in fact from far away, I cannot tell much I have seen reviews online that it smells ty Perhaps the next step is to go and actually see A commune of sorts, but traditionally lawless Maybe I’ll arrange some sort of early protection But they’ll have many needles for any injection There will be a few who think they are flawless Yet is this a place to live a real life or a fantasy Otherwise homeless, some find accommodation Old wrecks, and homes not so mobile anymore Drugs, yet not quite the same as the Sixties was In it’s way, a depressed and ugly version of Oz Perhaps they would not term themselves as poor As after all, it’s still a Californian desert location
