personally mine is-  "wow,  different strokes for different folks"  :p  🤭  you know what though,  this poet is trying to be deep and that is what counts  they might not ever get there,  but they are trying  :p

Read Allen Ginsburg: “Howl” poem. He’s making a cheap copy of something like that.

ooh my gosh this person is precious just the way that they are though  :p🤍

They present a dichotomy of the type of people living in LA, represented by their relationship to the sun.  The sun is a pretty staple presence in California, I am sure.  To some, it's a positive one; to others, an oppressive one.  The "rising sun" aspect has to do with that period of time where the two people cross paths.  Although, one might ask: "Why not sunset instead of sunrise?"  Perhaps sunrise is where the sun is entering the picture, and where it's also a natural overlap between the lives of the two types of people.  Clouds would be heaven or hell, depending how one views the sun -- with the shade being good or bad.

That's a pretty straight-forward analysis.  This is the author's view of life in LA, parsing it down to solar power.  That's their experience.  Perhaps contrasting the city's nightlife versus it's day time life.  They don't necessarily cut the two in half symmetrically, but the contrasts are seen.  Bringing to light (yes, a pun) the extremes that seem to have no middle-ground, to the author.

what does this ending line mean though-  "and like no other city on earth,  every day,  the sun forces their little calculations.  with no clouds to provide them a glimpse of hell nor heaven."

is he actually encouraging people to rise above duality ?  because this is  this is my crush  and since when is he actually deep what the fuck is happening rn

what the fuck is happening rn since when is my crush not a shallow superficial piece of shit  :p

but like,  LA at least nonfiguratively has clouds  actually one of my biggest surprises upon arriving in Los Angeles and living in Venice Beach where I lived before moving to hollywood was how cold that it was

Well, he seems to be noting that people are pushed into their behaviors without reprieve, or assurances to the contrary.

However, isn't LA marinated in smog?  That's hardly "no clouds". :)
