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
