Another Yesterday

At the bottom of the sky

the City by the Bay

...

Rather perfect weather on Thursday,

needed some rest so I migrated

to where I can relax best

...

 I always feel like

 I'm in a San Francisco movie

even though these days I only go over

to walk along the shore

 There it be

under yon tree

 Providing solace

faraway

to the old and lonely,

to the young and growing

 Tamalpais ridge 

in its entirety hovering

over the Alameda marina

 Not many people 

but everyone seems happy here

right down on the water

 Waves fold themselves

over and over

endlessly

providing peace

 Comes the time

to wash the sand

off of one's skin

 Many of these birds

now profuse and abundant

won't even come to a doggy beach

even when the dogs aren't there

As I took this shot

I was startled to see a big dog

tied there and sitting quietly

staring at the water where his owner swam,

She returned 

curvaceous in a revealing bathing suit 

And took him down to the water

and let him off lease to run about,

I dig dogs but this is a wild habitat, baby

I dig curvaceous girls too,

so I didn't say anything

but she noticed my disapproval

Bus stop is a few blocks

from the beach

I wait sitting in soft weeds

leaning on this picket fence

 

Time again to hit the pavement

and lean back toward my own

figurative white picket fence

At night the window
stayed open wide

Subtle descent

Tribune Tower

double reflection

in Police headquarters,

Hammond organ and drums
 live on KPFA
