San Francisco Quatrains











As I drove my old clunker down Powell to Market,

though the trip started out as a cruise and a lark, it

went south when a cop yelled, "Pull over and park it!"

So I told her, "All right! Ask it, don't bark it!"


As I sat at the corner of Haight and Masonic

with a beautiful hippie chick sipping a tonic

I thanked god our friendship was strictly platonic:

and affected indifference while she ran moronic.


As I rode on the streetcar past 7th and Judah

a woman got on, and if you saw her too, you'd'a

agreed with me she was as round as a Buddha.

She looked like an ad for a wheel of gouda.


On the cable car climbing the hill to Van Ness

I saw a young woman wearing such a tight dress

you could hear her poor thighs calling out in distress...

he who answered that call must have known happiness!
