Have you been to L.A. ?

I wish to go to California just to spit on it and leave.

i love the gas fires crass,
pocket lighters making sport.

sienna makes me feel like it's ok to die in the desert
"horse with no name" and all that jazz.
maybe get drunk but not fall in the fire while i'm dancing,
hang out with the Indians.say "i'm part Indian ya know" like every other white person does in America.

besmirching...hmmmm. all of our reputations are falling rainwater,just passing through. this makes me think of people being better than other people and how we're all full of shit. that made me happy, let us level the playing field for the little people,i'm meaning common folk not midgets.

sternum- i'll never not think of popping cherries like sternums after that one poem and so this word will forever make me happy.
i enjoy the idea of uncontrolled movement,unless it's like a face twitch from that medicine you took a week ago that does not appear it's going to go away.

dry ice, pre-cum, and environmentalists picketing with badly drawn planet earths drawn on paperboard; sneaky bastards.

this makes me really want to buy an earthship to live in. i've been dreaming of getting one of those since 9th grade science class. i hear what you're saying, these flames of the west are not all they're hyped up to be,brioche bun botanical gardens.  

cheap hotel lamps are all i could afford. roller blade rough house girl gangs,chains,broken bottles,pedal to the metal hot rod throttles. enchantress,hexing,command me into the sea. i could really use a day on the sand, the beach right about now.any beach, just not california .

let the sun set on the gas light district,the zoo's, aquatic centers,melancholy miners in motel rooms making chatter noises the vampires do (manifest destiny down Ventura boulevard as Tom Petty told me when i was young).

we're used tires and broken glass, selling secrets waiting to get caught; so $10.00 plug these pickup tires pulling everything from the road that sticks in the tread.

i'd still like to go and buy an overpriced book just to say california ripped me off; maybe learn how to surf.i should probably just go watch "point break" instead .
