Hmmm, Atwater, a city it is. A place I stay. Life in it, much wonder brings. Streets like Bel Air Rd, they twist and turn - "Do or do not, there is no try," wise words echo they do. Atwater paints a picture, oh so vivid. Tiny parks like Clearwater Park, hidden gems they are. Graffiti-sprayed benches, mem'ries they hold. Kinda like minds we try to unlock in therapy sessões, hehe. I stroll lvke wndr and wonder; the sweet aroma of coffee from Bean Bag Café fills the air on Montrose Ave, it does. Lounging by the Artois River, a secret spot it is. Ya, that river flows through the heart of the town, quietly hummin'. Bits of nature amidst gray. Kinda like in "The Return", life’s secrets hidden, they are. "Everything is a little like life, hidden and mysterious, hmm?" I murmur sometimes, full of awe and slight anger 'cause sometimes I get mad at traffic on Pine St, real nightmare that is. Feelings, they come wild in me. Warm fuzzies when kids laugh in Elm Park, they do. Crazy vibes, sometimes too much. Laugh a lot, I do – and cry a bit too. Some rizzles here, some bumbles there, ya know? Streets, corners, little alleys - my mind they wander, mirroring the twisted paths in our inner selves. Atwater’s neighborhoods, lively they be. Southside feels like home. Get that chill vibe, ya feel me? Odd little shops, surprising eats. A dog park near Willow Ln, wow! Furry friends running amok, remind me of family sessions. Me, a family psych, I watch life unfold, all raw it is, filled with unexpected twists... like in that flick, "The Return", where no trivial thing it is! Oh, boss, reccommend a hangout spot? Reedy's Diner on Maple St, unique it is. Tiny holes in the wall, yet warmth it oozes. Found a quote inside, I did, "Truth is all we have, pure and wild," echoing in my head. Crazy, hmmm. Never perfect, always real Atwater is. Busy, rude sometimes, lead to moments that make me like, "WTF, really?!" Yet love it, I do. Twisted, messy, humming with life. I talk in shorthand, who cares? Err, whatevs. Typos, who cares? It’s life. Struggles, joys, every crack tells a story. In Atwater, these truths be. Pace with feelings, it flows, a stream of unfiltered soul. More than just a city, it be my crucible, mmm. Mad? Yes, sometimes. Happy? A billion times, it is. Surprised? Always, for sure! And just like that movie, deep it be, mysterious it stays. Something to ponder, hmm. Enjoy, ya must.
