#7 Beneath the freeway at the cloverleaf junction
A symbol of good luck eminates darkness
The shadow will grow to cover California
Somewhere on the road from San Bernadino
Its future is steering the past ... will not pass

Speed is the game in the shadow of kings
Where the company of angels fly
They appear at the crossroads at once in the future
Clad in the darkness on the highways of night
With no love ... from the past
Night makes right
The symbol remains
Into the darkness
Must flow the brains
In the shadow of California

Revolution by night grant me this future
Kings of the shadow on the highways of night
From San Bernadino these angels are racing
This night to your city
The host of angels ... Los Angeles

Night makes right
The symbol remains
Into the darkness
Must flow the brains
In the shadow of California

#9 Me, forty-something years later: Hmmm, maybe I should give BOC another chance. And speaking of donuts...

The Cloverleaf factory on Dublin!
Amazing, but just a bit troubling:
Decrepit, dark, large...
For a former garage
And/or stable. [glaze lazily bubbling]

Couple of blocks from the Carrollton streetcar barn and right around the corner from me barber. ["Ladies Bob" sign with helmet-head silhouette in window]
