And because it is California
CB Wilson
​
every billboard says AI can be
friendlier
There is a lizard in the room
3 in the morning
Sunning herself to artificial light
I have spent the last eight hours
In a state of suspended prayer
Apple wants to assure me of privacy
My lushest hours and my most golden prowl
I could never be your ponygirl
I would either be laughing or melt
slipping under the bit
slipping under the bit
I would either be laughing or melt
I could never be your ponygirl
My lushest hours and my most golden prowl
Apple wants to assure me of privacy
In a state of suspended prayer
I have spent the last eight hours
sunning myself to artificial light
3 in the morning
There is a lizard in the room
Every billboard says AI can be friendlier
because it is California
