“November In The LBC”

Today feels like Summer.

Except, we are in the middle of November.

It ain’t “Summertime in the LBC” just yet,

But I’ll take this sunny day over rain any time.

Shout out to the Dove Shack,

And I send out my condolences to C-Knights family.

As I mash down PCH,

I turn left on Harbor Avenue and head towards Chronic LB.

Gonna need to re-up on some Indica.

I’ll take flower over vape any day.

Blasting Cypress Hill’s “From the Window of my Room”

With the windows rolled down so y’all can hear it bump.

The smell of diesel emanating off the big rigs

As they creep down Santa Fe Avenue.

I can also catch a faint whiff of urine in the air

Coming from the homeless tents off Gaylord.

Did I mention the Dodgers are back-to-back World Series Champs?

Yup, that happened.

Life in the beach city is truly a unique experience.

“Kaleidoscope Revolution”

Pardon the intrusion

The mass confusion

It’s all an optical illusion

I’m your blood transfusion

All praise God in unison

As I smoke this vegetation

I go into deep meditation

Maria Juana is an inspiration

And the best type of medication

Deep inhalation, smokey exhalation

Before we end up in chains

Hand over the reigns

No pain, no gains

Skylarking in flames

What other choice remains?

“43”

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,

4, 3….

Today I turned 43.

But, I don’t feel any older

Than I did yesterday.

As I take a long pull from my wooden pipe,

I start to think about all the hearts I have broken…

Lives that I destroyed back in my youth.

It’s no wonder why karma is such a cruel mistress.

I recall the day she first showed up.

Dress all torn, hair all a mess.

Two birthdays ago she just walked up to me,

Told me that she was here to collect a debt,

And immediately I knew, I knew exactly why she was here.

I had known for years that this day would come.

So I accepted what came my way.

Today on my birthday, I stand before you, broken but humbled.

Looking back I regret a lot of things,

But I know that all of that is in the past.

Nothing I can do now to change it.

I lost a lot, hurt a lot, cried a lot…

Now that I am another year older, I can only reflect,

And move forward with a more positive outlook and direction.
