Transcendental Sonnet #1417:
L. A. Answers al-Qaida

In my magic town where dreams are born and deals are made
Here where most of us are in the industry somehow
We are a little busy for terrorists right now
In my City of the Angels we are not afraid

You suicide bombers with hidden agendas should
Be careful on the freeway and in the neighborhood
Because we are a lot tougher than you think we are
God help you if you cut us off in your rental car

The Hollywood Freeway is a power-play parade
Utterly inscrutable to such out-of-towners
As are unable to go with the hustle and flow
Fail to find the Zen and insist on being downers

Sorry we just have no time to be blown up today
Not ready for your close-up so get out of the way
