Calm, quaint, quiet, City of the Perfect Plan:
They tell me you are dull and I believe them, for I have seen your streamlined streets and homogenous homes luring Los Angelenos.
And they tell me you are polite and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the car yield to the bicycle.
And they tell me you are quiet and my reply is: I once heard a hummingbird while sitting in a Starbucks.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another city so safe, so educated, built for children, groomed for adults determined to bounce back and thrive once more?
