Dear Oxnard
Dear WeCalledYou Lorelei Fountain,
Sometimes we came here long enough to sing your song. The people living in your gated community, who never used your lawn, would call the police if we stayed too long. We forged our friendships at your fins. We always wanted to drink with you but we never did.
I thought you would like to know, every one of us knew you for what you really were.
A Siren and not a mermaid.
