We went to LA to see the sky
but we smoked cigarettes instead

We talked about all the things that
didn't talk about us

you took photos of children playing
on the swing and one of a wild eyed kid
hitting a garbage can with a stick

Later you accused me of selling your mothers
rings when she was at "the hospital"
we listened to Steely Dan and smoked cigarettes

We went to the Getty and wondered
how we could make that much money
enough money
to buy more cigarettes
