"intro to insomnia"

I leave the W Hotel in Westwood at 2:30

I decide that I am not ready to turn in

Which leads me to hopping on the I-10 east

Which leads me to Downtown LA

Which leads me to the Los Angeles Flower Market

Which leads to it being closed

Which leads me to International Marine Products 

Which leads to it being closed

Which leads me to taking photos

2:49

2:58 - Hotel Bristol

 3:10 - Adult Entertainment

 3:20 Theatre

 3:40- Leaving Los Feliz

3:30  Driving up Vermont

 3:35 - I realise I want keylime pie

3:50 - House of PIes is closed. But I have cigarettes 

 4:25- Norms (After Swingers closed)

Dragon Lady Lips

So here I find myself at the crack of dawn at Norms off Lincoln, just as the breakfast menu becomes available. Some senior who probably woke up an hour ago tips his hat as I walk by..."Morning, Dragon Lady". It's probably my bright red lipstick paired with my leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and tall boots. I've spent the past two hours driving aimlessly across Los Angeles; from Westwood to Downtown and then to this place on Santa Monica. It's lonely being the only night owl in a flock of early birds. Menthols and this phone have been my only company. I'm addicted to being alert as the whole town sleeps. It's hard to discern whether I am up too late or up too early. I'm hoping a stack of pancakes and some hashbrowns will put me in a lovely food coma so that when I get home, I will slip out of consciousness before my head hits the pillow. I'm addicted to the sensation of utter exhaustion. Goodnight, and good morning world.
