Warm Outside

It's warm outside so I'm finally writing. This palm tree excites me, I love that it's in Los Angeles. Maybe its got toxic chemicals around it and I may die of cancer because of the recent fires (and that's in my head) but somehow this tree is not any less beautiful. I saw a guy on zoom last night he was in Hawaii and the backdrop was fucking gorgeous I felt a tinge of sadness on my patio here in LA when I saw that beautiful lawn on the screen and the sky behind him. But just then I happened to reposition myself and I saw the same damn tree right then above the apartment buildings to my right. It's the next day and the backdrop is even more striking, with an added blue sky right behind it, in a funny way it looks exactly like that scene in Hawaii on the screen. I see the glorious shape and the way the light hits the angles and shapes of all sharp angles, leaves blowing in the wind behind that beautiful blue sky. When I look at it there now this sort of goofy laughing presence emerges, the absurdity and the beauty of this palm tree disrupts my senses.
