Sam Peckinpah died
at Centinela Hospital
which was at the end
of a cul-de-sac and
right next to our house
when I was 14 and me
and my buddies would
go watch these beautiful
young mothers nurse
their babies when we
went peeping because
the whole joint was
as big as a motel and at
ground level so then we'd
also go through the trash
and find these used
rigs which were very
mysterious and creepy
with that feeling of disease
but we left them alone and
I remember once this one
guy pulled up completely
covered in blood from some
job site accident and they
wouldn't let him in and my
dad walked over so pissed
off kicking at the door until
the Inglewood cops came
