MALIBU
—for Tod Browning
No one knows the darkness—like I do. There is only one darkness—the darkness of the NIGHT.
It creeps up on you—in the Night. Like tonight here on Monica Beach—hear the waves?
_____________
The waves—children of the Night. Hissing and curling—up onto the lonely beach.
Hear them? Don’t be afraid—
It’s only a late TV night horror show
______________
Perhaps you’ve seen my work?—
Forgotten by Hollywood Babylon
There was a time when I created—
DRACULA with Bela Lugosi
_____________
We set the standard for horror—
Universal Films born because of us
Boris Karloff just a fucking hack—
I was the Transylvania Queen Bee
____________
Evil Incarnate through Browning—
I took over Hollywood just like that
Ever since then they’ve been singing—
Marlene Dietrich cabaret swan songs
