LOS ANGELES (2006-2024)
“I think I’m a kind of a poet”
Said the lion when he crossed
Town
O’er the 101
Tempting the long death of Ellay
Dancing ‘round Holy Hollywood fires.
Who is this mendacious bitch?
Who dares pimp out the old Griffith
cougar
To make flesh of this rockin’ city?
This Angelyne who sucked your brain
Until you were cheated of all thought
The sweet redemption of crazed and
horny attempts
To be someone else’s bitch.
This city which fatally needs to possess
The other and Itself.
The one who says we’ve got no snow in
Hollywood
Ain’t never been in the bathroom at Thai
Angel.
To have the freest way
You’ve gotta have eighty bucks for gas
And then some.
Finally, the sun rises red
O’er the yellow “L-I-Q-U-O-R”
Light up another,
Ah,
Los Angeles is queen
For yet again, another morn
— JOJO AMERICA
