Los Angeles

by hayley - Aquarius

I am select with words these days
because there is a shortage of language in this city
and I pity anybody trying to fall in love here
It is way too hot and noisy
and the romantic serenade of the garbage trucks
is just my luck of an alarm clock
I've been wearing my heart on my sleeve
so now I have eyes in the back of my head
And although I've said it is for no reason:
This is the season for paranoia
Or so you'll see

Reason for writing:

    i was trying to rhyme, then I thought, nah. just free-style it, then i thought i'll try mid-phrasing rhyme, then i thought shut up and just write, then i thought...
