mem­o­ries beneath secrets in the pro­duce district/ indus­try of Los Ange­les. That same day I met a man named pep­per who fishes for carp in the LA river. We waded out to the cen­ter and saw a school of them caught in an eddy. Pep­per rode a bike with one wheel, he told us how to roast the fish under the bridge. There is a fine moss on the bot­tom of the river, my squish-squash can­vas shoes pud­dled and i car­ried it with me the rest of the day. Carp, 1 and a half feet long. Life and what the river con­tin­ues to provide.
