I woke up in a sweat
In a bungalow airbed
By the Silver Lake Erewhon

It was 6 AM
I had slept for about 90 minutes
Was not feeling great

Teeth chattering
Telemedicine on the bus
Skin soaked by sun
Muscles spun undone

Got in a rental car
It was a Chevrolet Traverse
Went to Santa Monica

Checked into a hotel
They didn′t have a pool
And that was fine by me

Pacing on Pico
Amid oblivious kids
Families at McDonald's

I went to Eagle Rock
Confided in a friend
Scrambled my location
Taking on water
Diodes on the beach
Pores grazed by salt
My skin felt so soft
