this month marks my 35th summer as a california resident
in 1984 i had a poster of madonna in a wedding dress on my wall,
the same one she would grind on at the mtv vmas
and tonight i watched Lizzo shock the world with a two note flute solo like no other
on the bet awards, at the microsoft theater,
an entire complex that didn’t exist last century
for the entire time that i have been here this is the one thing that i see every day:
you can do it
yes you
look at her
look at him
look at them
you can do it
yes you can
how will you do it
when will you do it
you dont have to do it
but youre doing something anyway
why not do it
you can do it
fuck it, do it
you can do it.
theres 500 places you can get a taco in LA
some guy, today, opened the 501st
you can do it
he can do it
you can do it
look at her do it.
its in the breeze its in the sky
there will be one cloud up there
and it will be shaped
yes
