City of Angels

City of Angels
City of angels
You look like hell
If only I didn’t
Know you so well

Preposterous palm trees
Line your bleak streets
Like spiked heads on long necks
That rise from concrete

Billboards that scream
Neon that flashes
I’ve dreamed more than once
That you burned to ashes

Smog and congestion
From worship of cars
Your denizens journey
But never go far

Their fantasies drive them
But stay out of reach
Like waves that don’t roll
All the way to the beach

The scent of the ocean
Should soothe and inspire
But I keep on dreaming
You go up in fire

You Only Have Today

Midnight of reckoning and those ghosts lift up my window
Letting in tomorrow’s wind
Oh, I always knew it would come to this:
All the illusions that helped to lay me down
In a comfort that can’t come from earthly matter
Now scatter through the room
Like snow blown in a blizzard
Then they disappear as if right here
Were giving way
To yesterday’s betrayals one more time
The colors bleed all night to white
And everything regretted
Stands stark and silhouetted
Against the fading light
Of time’s slow-fast progression
Till the one expression of hope I find
Is in the first ray of a sun
That soon will come to say
To me and everyone:
You only have today
