fun times without sunshine


is a chicken pot pie a chicken that got high

and didn’t escape the gingerbread house witch’s pot

like bugs bunny did because she was too stoned?

 

i roam alone

but rarely do i walk with a hand in mine

that’s o.k. i guess

it leaves both hands free to light cigarettes

and twist the top off this bottle

 

i love l.a.

you can ignore everyone that passes your way

especially the homeless guy that’s screaming

how the clay in that love scene from the movie

ghost was sexually abused

 

confused?

try and decipher lyrics by michael stipe

 

i want to wear yellow while playing the cello

screw the black suit and the seat you

are forced to sit in

dance while you drain the strings

 

let freedom ring without fellow citizens

having to fall in the fields of fallujah

 

impeach the petulant child

elect mary mild

at least her tweets will be sweet

“he hath filled the hungry with good things;

and the rich he hath sent away empty”- luke 1

 

or was that hannah?

“they that were full have hired themselves out for bread;

and they that were hungry ceased:

so that the barren hath born seven;

and she that hath many children is waxed feeble”- 1st samuel

 

anyway

back to the dark streets of decay

neon lights and concrete gray

i turn up uberlin by rem

and start to dance

 

and you know what?

in l.a. no one gives a fuck

but if you ask they will

speak colloquial californian

recite with justice and liberty for all

then answer a text or call

and walk away

because after all

being politically correct

fulfills your civic duty

 

being a cutie is all you really need

to succeed in l.a.

which is probably why my books only sell

in europe

 

but the exchange rate is enough

to fuel the rest of this night

 

and just remember

bugs bunny was entertained by ignorance

it gave him something to do
