  Early Morning San Francisco Happenings

A. D. Winans
 

 


     l

Out walking the streets again
in my home town
San Francisco
bag lady talking to the
cracks in the sidewalk
the Pope taking his last breath

     ll

Market street once a palace
now a gaudy whore
failed cowboys and fallen angels
gathered at sixth and market streets
down at glide memoiral the
grand slam poets practicing
to raise the dead the
heavens show no mercy

     lll

Kaufman poems rattling around inside
my troubled head
Hunter Thompson's remains waiting
to be shot out of a cannon
down at Pac Bell Park the 
umpire in black sweeps off
home plate
