More like the Avenues
Than the Mission,
We think of what might have been,
Had they camped on York Street,
Half a mile further from the wind.

Perceptive, passionate, and daring thoughts and feelings about our difficult times.
More like the Avenues
Than the Mission,
We think of what might have been,
Had they camped on York Street,
Half a mile further from the wind.

Go with the flow in the fog,
As I shiver and quiver
Looking for Marin Hills and God.

Dad walks where he and mom used to,
Feeling guilty mom’s sick,
His beauty no longer there to talk with,
“She loved days like this.
Shit.”

Too bad about Robert Frost,
He packed up and left.
70 years later perpetual teenagers came west.
Oh how I lost!

From bums to gentry
Either way I lose.
Tacky buildings, a life of booze
I always feel empty.

Getting steeper every year,
You stop at the top a little longer.
After you’ve caught your breath,
You keep watching.
Don’t know how long you’ll be here.

Balmy mornings
Kids look to East Bay
Dreaming of sultry greatness
Playing ball in St. Louis, Cincinnati.
As adults
They walk to the west side
See the peaks
Fog thick and still behind them
Wondering if it’s too late to be majestic
Knowing they might never be at peace.

End of the line,
Bus pulls into circle.
Driver springs from coach to peer at the ocean against the wind,
Facing it stoically like he does his riders,
But loving the fierceness.

Russians walk around lake in the fog
Enduring our summer chill
Making me shiver over who they saw killed
On days bleak like this
By a leader they thought was God.
