Poem

Paradise is very fragile,

and it seems like it’s only getting worse

Down here in Florida

We’re 5ghting red toxic tides
Mass of 5sh kills
Not to mention hurricanes and rising sea levels

Back in Los Angeles, things aren’t looking much

better
My treehouse that’d been standing for 60 years
succumbed to the Woolsey 5res

Who would’ve thought that this year at 33

You would’ve been taken out from under me
After all those years

Built from the ground up, by hand, by your very

5rst owner
Quiet world war one, aviation pilot
I tried to save you but the horses and the
german shepherds were more important

Paradise is very fragile,

and it seems like it’s only getting worse

Our leader is a megalomaniac,

And we’ve seen that before
But never because it was what the country
deserved

My friends tell me to stop calling 911 on the

culture,
but it’s either that or I 5150 myself

They don’t understand

I’m a dreamer
And I had big dreams for the country
Not for what it could do, but how it could feel
How it could think, how it could dream

I know
Who am I to dream for you?
It’s just that in my own mind
I was born with a little bit of paradise
I was lucky in that way
Not like my husband
Who was born and raised in hell

I always had something gentle to give

All of me, in fact
It’s one of the beautiful things about me
It’s one of the beautiful things about nature

But lately I’ve been thinking that I wish

Someone had told me when I was younger
More about the inhabitants that thrive o_ of
paradise

That should they take too much,

There would be nothing left to give
Not everyone’s nature is golden and green
And you can’t 5ght what’s in your nature

I got to thinking about it as

We were 5ghting the 5res in Agora
But I’m tired of 5ghting you

Paradise is very fragile,

and it seems like it’s only getting worse

And every time I think of that,

I think about the curse bestowed upon Eve, that
fateful eve,
She took that bite of fruit from that fruitful tree.
And this summer night, you in front of me,
Makes me contemplate the origins of good and
evil

Because you take and you take and take and

you take,
But you taste like the beach and a kiss
Candy for my eyes
In my veins you run citrus

Watercolor images of serpents on orange trees

Arise in my midst
Kundalini, you breathe me
I could do this forever

But my heart is very fragile,

and I have nothing left to give
