behind the orange curtain


orange circle

back in l. a.

even the sunbeams are violent

 

this place has a different vibe

 

they mask the decay

but i know molecules

are always hatching an escape plan

 

it feels so foreign

like i’m on a movie set

the front line in the war on chaos

 

people keep staring

it’s hot so i’m wearing a tank top

 

in l. a. no one notices

but here every one looks

is it my muscles?

 

even the irish pub here was flat

i had a beer and left

 

every one turned and looked

when i went in

 

it didn’t seem sincere, real

 

i wanted to show them how it is done

 

but i left

roamed the circle

 

is everything here about money?

appearance?

impression?

 

would anyone here get my story

i wrote last night

about a ghost and a vampire

who come to me in a graveyard

with an offer to make love

to my immortal soul

 

i turned them down

 

asked instead to be digested

in the intestines

of a dying donkey

 

customize and create

but never conform
