Bates Hotel, East Hollywood

Microclimate at Bates and Sunset,
Whiteouts flophouse and attendant palms,
--with radiant spray-gun epithets--
Microclimate at Bates and Sunset,
Transforms fronds to hoary rosettes,
Turns edifice arctic-embalmed!
Microclimate at Bates and Sunset,
Whiteouts flophouse and attendant palms
