The destiny of Los Angeles

Oh
depraved wounds
in the gorged streets –
feetless people
walking around with fears
as coats

goading the queen –
the march is on
and this treadmill of a lake
keeps on churning out stars.
Oh

bought,
the time it took to save up rent,
I think this city’d be dentless
without me

and somehow, in this void of you
mode

this city has folded over twice
and has become so

empty.

      Hey, Brandon! And… whoops! This is a late reply! Anyway, I don’t know if he has a website. I just came across him on a street corner (Disney Hall, DTLA). Where did you run into him?
