LA CHRISTMAS CARD MONTAGE

by Charles Carreon

(Assembled from LA Weekly snippets -- X-Mas 85)

HOLIDAY SPECIALS
We Can:
Obtain money for your
pain & suffering.
O'Keefe's face
can be lethal as well.
The problem will only get worse.
BUT THERE'S A WAY OUT.

LESS ALTERNATIVE

The good citizens of L.A.
cordially invite you
to a thai restaurant
the freeway Concerto for
trombone and cars
The death of the charioteers.
Chicano and Mexican music
the shine of sweat on
male and female alike,
hordes of rumpled citizens
walking the streets, glassy-eyed
and slack-jawed chanting
"Koyaanisqatsi"
in a deep, booming whisper.

And think how twisted we are.
the troupe has always danged from
the competitors
the collective
anguish
hell and damnation,
(stink) bomb capitalist
the classical tradition.
devilish talent
reading, preaching and
converting the crowd.
bicyclists mix with rank amateurs
enough to induce vertigo in the hardiest
cross between W.C. Fields
and Nina Hagen

BRING A FRIEND
I wanna go.
parking limited.

MERRY X-MAS
