so to go + buy this wetsuit,
well i found it, for sale, in the back pages of an ooold West~Side L.A. newspaper,
called Thee Evening Outlook, in thee Bargain Box. i called the seller, arrange a meetin', far 'way from me home, too...
i rode my bicycle to Thee Venice Circle, locked it, where ol' The U.S. Post Office was,
caught a bus, rode up into Santa Monica, past Thee Pier, seen below:

This beat is fvcking raw. Like the cops are about to move in on the bad guys, streets at night, ninja turtles coming out of the sewer.
