I live here

California is a limp dick john on Hollywood Boulevard
California is the Central Valley high on pesticides & meth
California is Big Sur overrun by tourists jerking off their RVs in the sunset
California is Los Angeles
California is San Francisco
California is Las Vegas
California is a schizophrenic waving an assault rifle in a bank just wanting a friend
California is tomorrow
California is nostalgic for a past that never existed
California is money, baby, money
California is a furious Titan throwing lightning bolts in summertime
California is Walt Disney’s bad acid trip
California is thinking its butt is too big but will shake it anyway
California is trying to get water from a stone to grow artichokes in Death Valley
California is one exit too far down the highway
California is desperate to be liked
California is your favorite isn’t it?
California is the gardens of Babylon and the desert that’s left
California is a wife-beater and a strung-out junkie who likes teddy bears
California is gansta raps of children’s day care
California is the religion of smokestacks and gold-plated condoms
California is the curve of the earth on the horizon turning into the future
California is anorexic & angry about sunshine
California is too fat for its own good – would you like fries with that?
California is money in the bank for Central American dictators
California is the Tower of Babel in negotiations with itself
California is what?
California is Brad Pitt on billboards smiling into our vacant subconscious
California is psychotically possessed by long dead conquistadors
California is the communist dream of certain Berkeley intellectuals
California is choking on the nocturnal emissions from its own erect tailpipe
California is hills not so much like white elephants but more like dirty ones in back alleys
California is shaved head no teeth angel dust glory hole soaring
California is dead wildflowers that stink like skunks
California is a prophecy starring Christopher Walken
California is unprotected sex with strangers you just met at the Chinatown library
California is marriage for a green card but not for homosexuals
California is a pre-nup and a quickie divorce from Donald Trump
California is the undefended fortress of dreams in the eyes of Canadians, eh?
California is not what it used to be
California is only what it always was
California is maybe a little narcissistic but, c’mon, isn’t that awesome!
California is a pre-nup and a quickie divorce from Donald Trump again
California is my latest screenplay, will you read it?
California is
California is whatever you say it is
California is faulty
California is boldfaced words on a hillside and trees made of broccoli
California is the Statue of Liberty covered in sunscreen
California is doomed
California is the color of God at the end of time
California is real as it gets but how real is that
California is where America reaches the border of heaven and folds into sky
California is the golden state in flames
