West Side Rentals

West Side Rentals

A Poem by Shannon
"

West LA is a fraud

"
The song of songs is that song no one sings
A burlesque in dirty black peignoirs 
Here on Earth, every day is Halloween

It’s beautiful if you frequent the grammy’s
Though you may end up feeling like a w***e
The song of songs is the one no one sings

Gas station bums huffing baggies of gasoline
Tranny hookers on meth, high and wanting more
On Earth, each and every day is Halloween

Lived vicariously out on a television screen
Nothing to worry about but bedsores
The song of songs is the one no one sings

While Maria is down on her hands and knees
Sanguine, covered in bleach, scrubbing their floors
For her, this whole place is Halloween

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, scream
You’re dead and watch out, St. Peter’s at the door
The song of songs is the one no one sings
Here on Earth, every day is Halloween
