I guess that's it, Fry 13

It depends but I’m sure I’d rather be rich than famous

unless famous for something amazing

I just want to buy a bag that has on it a blue shoe with cleats
and yellow airplane wings

I want to take off

instead of double parking lights blinking
outside of a pink house
across from Griffith park

picking up a teen who is nice
to drop off at school

we wake up as the sun rises
so she can grow, change  
and I can have enough change

in LA they will pay
and not pay
you to do all kinds of things

something about working so hard but not even trying

‘where is my mind’

the bookkeeper’s almonds
burnt frizzy ponytail
and teardrop earrings

I like her and the way
she comes and goes

a bimonthly girl

I’m sitting in this artist’s studio
and I know she could use me
but she’s losing me

nothing but clouds and valleys in the arroyo seco


and I’m tired

liking people isn’t enough
never is
and free sandwiches don’t pay the rent

I have plenty to talk about here,
not liking work,
loving these new ‘throwback’ California license plates
making hot chocolate
‘which one should we have??’

then there’s war and there’s nothing to say

get a tattoo
I guess

what else are you going to do
fight?

I feel like my tattoo
a little tight and
the same every morning since Friday
