(*$&$(F@!!

high on caffeine and anxiety,
i'm criss crossing through LA Traffic
counting the pigs as I go
as my mind is wired up: a thousand words flying in every direction
all of them,
begging for attention.
my window is rolled down
music blaring out
and i'm passing a line of cars:
count em:1,2,3,4,
i swerve to nearly miss a jogger
heart is pounding
is it the coffee or how fast i'm driving?

it's the same route everyday
cracked roads and everyone walking their dog:
why the FUCK does everyone have a dog in this god forsaken town??

the music is blaring,
hard, fast and loud
it's to drown out the sound
of the stories swirling in my head
and my heartbeat pounding
to be let out of my chest

i'm hitting every green light
cause the gods love me (today)

fast,faster the wheels turn:
on my car,
in my mind
and the screeching of tires
the soul is burnt out

see the flames rise up out of me
into the morning smoggy LA sky...........................
