LA Continental

Let’s call me out
Let’s call me out

I’m waiting for the hazing
Homeless on my own

Lay down Dreamtown, LA
Frescos cardboard café
Day camp, off-ramp SRO
Kneepads for nomads on the go
Time flies for Best Buys and I know

Broken Windows cash mementos
Raise the roof downtown
Wash the wasteland shelter bandstand
What goes up comes down

Sleeping sidewalks, riverbeds
‘Living Under Freeways Ahead’
Car parks and campers full of doubt
Let’s call me out

Tents and lean-tos, bivouac pews
Liberty on loan
Canyon hillsides, no more free rides
Markets ride alone
No more waiting for the hazing
Homeless on our own
