Los Angeles, CA 90008Makeshift memorial
Corner Degnan and King blvd. -- (stage 2)
Here is the corner of Degnan and the Doctor's Street.
On the south East corner, a make-shift memorial, like so many in LA, from those that surround the kings of popular culture on the Walk of Stars to those that spring up around the sides of the road.
In this neighborhood, the memorial on the random street corner, at a random time of year, means some random act of violence has taken the life of a randomly chosen young man, woman, or child. Yes, it all seems so random, but the roulette ball bounces here quite a bit. Yes, a sticky spot on the wheel. Yes, a deep groove on the wheel.
And while the tombs in Forest Lawn might earn a field trip, skipping school brought these tall glass candles, plastic flowers, homemade signs made on the back of science projects. Yes, he was lost but he is not forgotten.
