Ballad of the Lime Cadillac
made from metal scratches like
a stand-up comic or the prophet
on the Strip

*
planets warming, ill with gravity, a
rhyme
*
Burned
rubber?
*
was it Cain’s spirit
that western summer
*
“Be biblical like a short story mythologized.
@ $1.99 a bodega of endless wine.”
*
Star says I am always juggling the hours,
the others?

Kids. getting high on Mulholland Drive
dirty Cadillacs in morning lime
