Nothing but.. backboard.

Lol, my job is done.

That's an appetizer:

Try burning your entire life to fully understand the conditions the most vulnerable exist in.

Let a drunk, shirtless, drax looking mfer break you without touching them once.

Get thrown into solitary for 7 days in DTLA to understand how they abuse autistics, vegans, others.

The bitter sweetness of being the booty call assistant. They did think of you... After everyone else.

Like the Karate Kid theme. "Your the best. . . around."

Okay, Lebron, no need to flex.

Is this AI?

All these are like... Logical sentence structures and have some sembalence of a coherent idea but seem so vapid and tinged with toxic positivity but in this weird soulless way.

Or this is a "deep" 17 year old. I can no longer tell these days. Either way it rings hollow.

All the MTA busses in LA fill with homeless folks trying to rest for a few hours.

I AM ASHAMED OF AMERICA.

I AM ASHAMED OF CALIFORNIA.

I AM ASHAMED OF LOS ANGELES.

YOU FAIL YOUR FELLOW HUMANS DAILY.

YOU ARE FAILING YOUR LOVED ONES.

...ALL TO ENRICH PSYCHOS WHO WOULD BURN THE WORLD IF THEY WERE CORNERED.

FUCK OFF WITH YOUR VIRTUE SIGNALS AND NICE ADVICE.

- Carlos Kage

I'm leaning toward the same meal everyday in a hut, in the wilderness ala the 19th century philosophers.

(Jingle) Hermitin' it up, on the west side.

Fret not, I am many things, a liar is not one. Trust the quote, not Lincoln.

I worked with him like 15 years ago. He was pretty chill on set, and certainly wasn't ranting about "the immigrants."

I had no idea his grandparents were in a Japanese internment camp in the USA during ww2.

This technofuedal "world" the middle men concocted is making people crazy.

I usually eat fairly healthy but the last week my friend has been grabbing me food. All fastfood after years of vegetarian. Its like I ate an alien my body cannot process. . . .Like a Jackson Pollock.

HUEVOS If modern lovers Call Picasso out, Tiffs and hissy fits, Feel thin skinned, kid. If I fought for peace, I would fight for all. Take on the fuck bois. Rake up the ket B's. If you got problems Say them as they are. Place the blame with sight. No anger, flame fears: height. Can't we all just get: Some songs. Eat some bread. Fuck with poems. Trust heads. Fun is all. Truth: BET.

I mean...Profit!!!

Nothingness forever.

Having said that, I'd genuinely support you if you ran for an office. Jokes aside you are kindand thoughtful.

Lol, 2029. The clouds must be nice.

COMMON GOALS One can find far more worth, in a handful of dirt, than all the streams, schemes, couch comforts, and things. All it takes is a dream. Friends pick up the seams. With fam it don't hurt. Community works.

I walked past, a take out box, filled to the brim, with tranquil rocks. Some folks may think, I've done such memes. Home, "knows" my tells. Few've seen my dreams.

A pink and red being does a handstand, held by his hands and heart, which is planted on the ground. A pile of pink books, ready to be burning lays on the ground, forming a cake with the words "Let Them" written on the side. Various mass produced knives are stabbed into the cake. On the right are various phrases. "FIRM DECREE" "OLD YELLA" "LESSER OF TWO EVILS"

A white skull form against a black background, from the abstractified shapes of the word Memento Mori.

A Sketch for the cover of my first book of poetry and lyrics. Most likely a next year project despite being done beyond fabrication.

A map of skid row in los Angeles. The arts district sits at the top, gold bleeds down into the map made of dark red lines, symbols, and bloody, festering wounds.
