denial and duplicity


people of los angeles live in denial

          that we’re not weird

we’re judge by how well we steer

          at high speeds

          in and out of traffic

 

everyone is very guarded

          some even think they’re a bad ass

          until they die

          by being on the wrong end of a gun

 

oh what fun it is to live in l. a.

 

losers laying in the lingering lie

by the tales of TMZ we live or die

most of us are high

while we talk about holistic organics

 

don’t panic

it’s just another earthquake

but fear we will fake

auditioning for directors of decorum

 

arena and forum

every sidewalk a stage

and i have the leading role

 

talk about death tolls

lick your latte along the rim

your tongue is the surface i skim

 

hey

this is l. a.

fucking is the only thing

          that doesn’t make you fat

 

i graciously accept your congrats

          as i receive another oscar

while the latex lingers with the promise

          it didn’t spill

 

morning fills

and i finally come to the conclusion

that with this congested confusion

          i am madly in love
