Even in the most generous of predications, it would be hard to make the case that I have anything to complain about. So I will attempt to simply explain.

I found this poem from last summer, I was in LA and I decided to walk from Downtown all the way to our hotel in Studio City, just like how I used to walk to Montmartre from the Champs-Élyseés at night when I was a kid. I wrote this along the way by talking to my phone.
