"im in too deep, im in too deep to sleep"
its not monday anymore.
profound.
i was gonna update with just a list, but that would be out of line. here is my fave right now.
#14 out of 62.
im in los angeles today: it smells like an airport runway. jet fuel stenches in the cabin and lights flickering at random. im in los angeles today: garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creeping even when the populations sleeping. and i cant see why youd want to live here. im in los angeles today: asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing and he said "it varies from season to season, kid." its where our best are on display: motion picture actors houses maps are never ever current so save your film and $15. and i cant see why you'd want to live here. billboards reach past the tallest buildings, "we are not perfect but we sure try." as UV rays "degradate" our youth with time.
the vessel keeps pumping us through this entropic place in the belly of the beast that is californ-i-a, i drank from a faucet and i kept my receipts for when the weigh me on my way out here nothing is free. the greyhounds keep coming dumping locusts into the street until the gutters overflow and los angeles thinks, "i might explode someday soon."
its a lovely summers day and i can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos. is this the city of angels or demons? here the names are what remain: stars encapsulate the golden lame and they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating. and i cant see why youd want to live here. billboards reach past the tallest buildings. you cant swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow.
