If I said that I love L.A., would you hold it against me, please? Cause man, I love L.A., no lie
Notes from the underground have surfaced up here above the valley, in the cold, damp fly
Beggars and moguls filling up the potholes with the asphalt that costs nothing for the taxes
Pure profit for the very happy sittin’ under the sunny skies of Los Angeles, city we all love too
Not only the original dinosaurs in the La Brea tar pits but also, the chicks & bums on 6th street
It never is gonna get better than this, it can only become a pariah with no functional backbeat
Tremolo & bass do whatever they feel, like a jazz ensemble mixed flats & sharps out of order
Santa Ana winds don’t bother me, never since day one back in December 1974, a perfect day.
Shoulda left Chitown with my MGB drove onto Century & Santa Monica Blvd, I love L.A. kids!
Where the movies y’all love get made in the sun & shade, coast to coast, downlow downshift
People dressed like monkeys or the ½ naked ape they all seem to be, beggars, smokers of lids
Imperial highway keepin’ my wheels rollin’ & crankin’ @BeachBoys lookin’ for bikini beaches.
Hearing the gist of the program and liking what I heard, I knew it was a matter of Hit singing
When it ends, the finale may not be good for you but it’s worse for “them” to scream & shout
Unless you’re an orphan & childless, you’re gonna regret comin’ to Earth without succeeding
At anything, anywhere, anytime to succeed is beyond wildest expectations of the freak aliens.
Ain’t beggin’ for the way to get from here to there, I already know, you might ask me, it’s tight
Fear of the unknown dissipates with maximum attention to facts, here today, caput manana
Love’s Hate wavering within your soul & mind, generation of pity for being ugly, pitiful & poor
In the background, there’s a passageway to get underground, comes in a due-haste dogfight.
Mothers have a vulgar word-up for the fathers who inseminated their womb, a warmer cold
They hit and run but mama has 20 years to go, unless she created a phenom in a page’s fold
You were happy yesterday & you will be tomorrow too, there’s no way you can annihilate It
Resolution to remain One in Chi & the same as you were before Time, out of Space, Scat’s It!
Bringing your wings for the flight since nobody can walk or crawl as far as the sleek birdhoods
West to East side we’ve been rollin’ since Day One, hit the ground runnin’ freewheeling skids
Got the dozens for those who know the rips & for those who don’t, calm down chicks & dudes
I’m talkin’ ‘bout yo’ mama, New York City to Beirut, man & woman, boy & girl, all baby’s kids.
No way you can move the unmoved mover, even a micrometer is too much, not one iota, son
Not only is the Love here and now but also, it’s nowhere else, there or then, past or future sin
Mountains and the bumblebees movin’ my mood from purple to clearlight, reasonable lying
It’s Taqiyya arguing with idiots who don’t know the wool is pulled over blind eyes, I’m sighing.
Hand it over, every time you lose your possessions and your loved ones, ashes to ash in a box
Grape ape of the primates evolved the genius by accident, random lust, baby boys’ hot rocks
Let me get something straight between us, I never lie but I will hide the Truth for a fool’s sake
I’m no savior, not even a saint or a sinner, I have no sense of any Evil of Buddha baked in cake.
Happiness is all Aristotle & Plato trumpeted with the bums who knew no better, blank slates
Commands of behavior and the known punishment for disobedience are a way culture dates
Peace and War, sharing matter with the last to come to the party, random photons of the Void
Damp or dry as a bone, it’s this & that, no words said, it’s understood God’s got a hemorrhoid.
Is the irreverence for someone other than me? Of course, I ain’t God & you ain’t either, God!
Holy ghosts and the temptations of Eve got all of the bums to agree, take it all for free, hotrod
Think or not, nothing really matters at all but commit a mortal sin & you’ll know it’s a mortal
Life & Death, rough Truth, tough Love, step up to the plate, we hit a homer & game’s all over.

{ Dreamt this one up while jammin to @RandyNewman #ILoveL.A. #Century #SantaMonica #Ventura #SixthStreet on youTube link @ https://youtu.be/KcADqxnQA_4 }
You are now homeless because you’ve spread homelessness, hum bums’ junk, Elvis & y’all All streamin’ bums and junkies rule the uninhabited wealth of the high hill of the fools’ hill Bums invaded the neighborhood of gold & silver hoarders, underground safely down low Real estate agents, owners of the properties in paradise above & beyond the dregs below.
Tricks with or without magic words can cause the effect because of your will to power trip Stark view of the world as we know it can suffice for all you’ll ever know and never skip In the heat of the frozen night, undercovers that mysterious curiosity nobody recalls at all Shot the guns and rifles, to be certain of the uncertainty of bad guys in mean streets’ pall.
Steering clear of the obstacles you could see, hear & smell but couldn’t touch good taste Drinkin’ the alcohol only makes you want to drink more alcohol, a downward spiral mate Our ancestors and descendants were & will be the filthy bums, drunks on the backstreets Pumped the love and hate joy-juice into thin skin, down to the 208 bones’ hard rock beats.
Soul begins the scoot on the road, up the middle to the end of the clear lines, finite redux High or low, seen or invisible to the sixth or the other five senses, days of old are pure luck You were conceived either on purpose or in error, in every case roll & sweet leaf, Za ZEN tea Runaways don’t turn into Getaways easily, balls ripped from their backs for social security.
Sensational alpha before the dawn turns into an extinct omega, we had to take it easy, man Understanding & Acceptance of the Truth as it is, are required blind faith, One won, amen Before each of our conceptions, saving your skin and bones wasn’t necessary, now it is, so Dreaming you live and die on Earth is the cosmic psychopathic trail, whistle me, just blow!
My brown-eyed girl animates sleeping, inanimate objects of stone, obliterated a freemason Out in bright sunlight with nothing to hide in a shadow of anything in itself, eyes wide open Punch directly delivered to the two lips & chin, recall an uppercut to the jaw-drop the gums You can’t fool mother nature & better love yo mama, karma isn’t kind to mother’s slums.
Essence of incense in the olfactory region of the form, scratch & sniff for the full effect of It Living free or indentured makes a difference to humans alive on Earth, rich, poor, same chit Oxygen helping to keep us all alive while carbon-O2 we exhale is used for cash, gods’ gold Built to rock, stone & plastic fastened together in forged steel, it’s skyline to be rigmarole.
I have a secret which cannot be bifurcated in anyone’s mouth, you hear nothing at all y’all Conceptual analysis is the tool your father warned you about & you played contrarian ball Law enforced right after the crime is committed to avoid chaos’ lawlessness down under Of the women and the puppy love served up in the way too early teens, SNAFU & FUBAR.
Penniless without pockets anyway, wealthy in a manner of speaking, far, far away, too far Radioactive blood feeding the frenzy for a gold standard & live jerk-offs alive in a bell jar A rat and a mole confronted each other inside of a floating container, it’s hard to swallow No more being nice to the relative species, “No More Mr. Nice Guy!” what I oughta bellow.
Hound dog song clarifies the way it is, the way it goes more often than not, a ghost towner Not alive & not dead but in between a rockin’ hard place & Outerspace’s empty chattaqua Etcetera comin’ in threes like you’ve never seen before, now that I mentioned it, she sees Overhears about what nobody but you will find, creepin’ afoot explains stone ‘hood’s trees.
In search of the miraculous trip only gods get, there are too many now homeless in the hills Where the angels lived on a hill above the creepy fires that sealed the thievery speed bawls No desires for things unrequited nor unrequired by the thing itself in me, underground to fear Pity for the less fortunate who made the beds they sleep in, they don’t like it, God don’t care.
Called them punks because they seemed beyond good & evil, both in & out of stone temples On the corners off the busy streets, using the cross-street to nominate the group of greasers Or the future American religious-political fodder farmed from Wisconsin to Colorado fool gold Shut your mouth oughta do the trick & keep the occult out of sight, certain it can’t be found.
In theoretical jargon, the conclusion deduced before a last gasp for one & all, that’s all folks Splashin’ & screamin’ but it’s what’s happening when there’s a Big Bang & nowhere left to go Past to Future in a snap, hardly a moment spent in the Present, Presence a gift to never give Truth for all Life in all forms is just to be or not to be, Francis Bacon retrograde to Plato alive.
Regardless of your knowledge & recollection of facts of life & death, it’s happening Supreme Wisdom of the ghost within is to remain humming silently like a well-oiled cyber-punk meme Ruthless to defend power within at all costs, a priori premise & a posteriori deduced, it is sent Masticating live birth, day & night ala womb to tomb & so on, it’s out of my hands, get bent!

You never know when you might need to have an ace in the hole, it’s all in the game I know From birth to death the alpha & omega display all there is in Time’s Space above & below us Liberty, as it was before your conception, your imaginary presence postmortem, my son Finishing the lines on the mirror, you’ve bled out your inferior nasal conchae for no reason.
Pierce your skin from head to toe, insert dye into the would for the stains that ever last it It all fades to the dust allowed by the undertaker, traditional incineration or shell burial Pretending that the shell left behind was the thing you loved, it was the spirit inside moves Of wisdom and experiential knowledge of all that happens from pole to pole’s dirty grooves.
Music and silence preferred over the banging noise of the pots & pans without pasta fazul Singing and blowing into tubes, plucking strings if not rubbing friction in & out or act the fool Known limitations in mind, skipping the losses & entrenching in the wins, all that I am, high Schooled beyond the need to know, ignorance annihilated in the end, I know I am the guy!
Leftover banquet’s cuisine is as good as it gets, trophies for all just to participate in the glee On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, this is here & now, as good as it ever gets yo me Maybe not to you or anyone else but you know, it’s all about being in love with L.A. suburbs Big homes, small hoods, no projects towering above stone-asphalt, there’s no other words.
Mic up your voice so that everyone may enjoy the content of your thought, bring it on down As you’ve always known, nobody knows anything about Nothing, let them know all about it Christening the Christ in the Christian heathens who are kids believing their folks’ bull s#it Not their fault it’s all they gleaned from the ancestors they descended from, it’s all there is.
Powerless in the finale as it was at the prologue before Act 1, hence curtain drops The End Now then, unknown is known, no secrets or insoluble conundrums’ nightmare in a dream Watch as the time pass without stopping, always forward & never in reverse of the stream Past is all gone, forgotten except for warnings gleaned to avoid pain God’s bloody scream.
Spirit invisible within you & without you, it’s a fact of life you’ve been warned & it’s cool Regardless of whether you like circumstances or not, it is all what it is, y’all are but a tool Nobody cares about that either unless you’re imprisoned as an innocent or a genius Man Breeze through exams & procure advanced degrees & prognosticate, be all too human.
Mind over matter is the illusion to accept to participate in society or you’ll be imprisoned For life or some nights and days less than the whole shebang, nature will be four seasoned Good, Evil & Ugly come as close as any creator or savior would want to be, it’s all a put-on A play for the energy blown out to emptiness by an exploding red giant, immortal shotgun.
Sensational yet demure and at the same time off-putting as the refuse you’ve defecated Holy gaslight fills the tragedy with comedy, if you can’t laugh, you’re gonna cry a deep river Like it or not, as far as we know, this life we are lucky to be living is a gift from Gods that be Nothing to be seen, form nor shape of matter to compare to your Ma & Pa, you are all of It.

c. Lundi, Janvier 7th MMXXV Anno
Domini @ 1919 hours PST
It’s all about the second city in the country as it was & always will be, no shy town abuzz
Darker than you’ve ever seen or can recall et al, since your sentient consciousness’ fuzz
Rolling the dystopian nightmare into the scat right in front of our faces, it’s all in your face
Not only are you asleep & deep inside of a nightmare that won’t end but also kills the race.
It’s all over, finished at the end line drawn at random with nothing but lead pencils & gold
Everything came from the star we’ve named The Sun, like the son of God, this chit got old
Older than your mama & absentee father and irrelevant to the eerie philosophy goin’ down
Up atop of the high mounds spewing the Earth’s lava from the middle, stardust of a clown.
Bricks in backyards leftover from one, Great Common Complex, vortex’s white-black holes
Menudo of integrity and tools for extinction of the species drank up with the drunks’ blows
Out of their common ground minds, only extinction results, plugged in & blew a holy gasket
Needed that to keep the liquid inside of the engine, edge of the two dimensions flips to It.
Bleed out a bug, kill the power to become something from Nothing, it’s all too human love
It’s a rolling and rocking catastrophe that rots in it’s agar petri dish of viral missiles as above
So below, there you have it although you didn’t desire or need it, ignorance was bliss, amigo
Speak no Evil, you’ll hear none, stick your finger in the plum pie, pucker up your lips & blow.
Whistleblower fools slit their own throats as the program requires them to exist, we say RIP
Not six feet underneath the artificial intelligence & generative Pre-trained Transforms’ GPT
Bears rob the picnic of Yogi & BooBoo since they’ve ripped off the Flintstone & Jetson feast
Travel in Time forward or backward can’t change a thing, it’s on a goner’s singularity, I insist.
Above atmospheric content in the sphere of influence, air, land & sea we become as One
Not two that function as the species’ creator of more bones & flesh to sacrifice to no One
Failure to launch & take-off for any orbits outside of the atomic sun, because it’s Nothing
As above it’s below, there’s no atom below what’s above, yet Life as we know it is a Thing.
Word salad stories, historical philosophers as dead thinkers’ leftovers now, junk in a trunk
Artificially intelligent with the generative pre-trained transformers of @GPT-4 livin’ in funk
A put on for the masses & the last one alive, unable to reproduce the immortal 1-soul Void
Always with me & you but invisible to five senses, recollected imagery of girls who’re toyed.
Fathers & mothers required to invoke virginity & chastity, too deep down in MAGA RNA/DNA
Extinction is immanent since there’s only survival or be dead and buried underground in tin
Macroscopic focus beyond the Milky Way & Andromeda, Nothing astronauts could test for
No more walks in the backwoods with you, we’ve made love on grass, braised by love heat.
Waves of the ocean comin’ into my shore, blasting drops of H2O into my bearded, holy face
For the love of God, jesus Christos underneath the mistletoe waiting for a hug, not a trace
No love lost & no hate can cost everything I have, since I have nothing but mistletoe sister
Special to be beautiful as you are, as you were meant to be, random recombined funk-fur.
Way to go, total worship of gods you can’t see because you are what you thought they were
Bluebirds & house cats with their hearts removed, still hungry & doin’ fine & then some too
Rock my babies to sleep, they couldn’t contain their cries for the colloquy cries of the wild
Hemp-dried to smoke, seeded to regenerate Oneness of being stupid, loose cannon child.
Midnight or noon, smooth 24 hour swing ad infinitum, orbital trajectory of mental buggery
Babies from infants, elder examples of failed ice and fire, what are you gonna do, it’s empty
Fabulous like you can be and don’t want to think about, you’re in the middle of a free fall
Mixed up with Jesus & Judas, casks of wine & foolin’ around at the party, born to be A Kill.
Hunted yet never found, can’t be skinned, gutted & consumed by the predators murdered
Without a sign or heartache signal to slow down & wait for the cease & desist flip of the bird
On the way forward I go, we all go, nobody goes back to the way it used to be, heaven’s gate
Walking or flying, we’ll get there whether we lie ‘bout it or not, words said, you know, FATE!
Standing in your way again? I’m already gone but my arms won’t let you go, need my wants
Bloody rivers of life’s rain is getting me up off of my knees, I beg no more, a demand of rants
Didn’t ask for this, didn’t plan it so I don’t want to accept consequences’ stoppin’ on a dime
He said he’d love her for moments in time, mother & father, judge & jury, guilty of the crime.
I’m pretty sure I’m as beautiful as the first being to come alive on Earth, no doubt about it
Things always work out like they should, it’s got nothing to do with your loving & hating chit
Been here before, I remember now, lucky I forgot or I wouldn’t have repeated it ad infinitum
Whispered shouts, same old thing, infinity forces a shrill disorder as I dive into my 151 rum.
End of August, my birth’s day the XXVIIth as I am the dog that’s having his dog day, it’s longer
The dream was over before I knew and there was no way to share that with my love of anger
That The Way is not my own, selfish as I am, selfless as I’ll be down the road to Eden, I invite
You & yours, every single one born dead, here now, dust settles Silence left in a One’s byte.
Darkness is everywhere amid spaced-out red & white giants waiting to supernova & warp it
Full houses beating the five aces with the wild card joker that chuckles at funny digs & jibes
Funk smell, funk taste, I see and hear what’s Untouchable, hold hands that got no knuckles
Fast company here & there, faithful with blind faith’s certainty, here today, begone manana!
