Self-absorbed shoppers
Stiff and rigid as Davidson’s cross
Just a glance from grace.

Perceptive, passionate, and daring thoughts and feelings about our difficult times.
Self-absorbed shoppers
Stiff and rigid as Davidson’s cross
Just a glance from grace.

Trilling birds penetrate fading sleepiness
Waking residents to a new dawn
Daring them to go out on a limb
Purse their lips
Make love sounds to the world.

They complained about the wind.
Willie said it isn’t hot.
They pissed and moaned and griped.
Willie told ’em: Learn to win with what you got.

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.

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

This dazzling light overwhelms us.
Having come here to be somebody,
We realize we’re nobody.
We drink to feel right,
To feel godliness we fail to realize,
In this city where God is always right before our eyes.

Painting everywhere.
Taggers overflow.
With butterflys’ brillance.

Swaggering against the wind
You vow to live this city’s beauty.
When you feel ugly
You step into these wonderful churches,
Out of the gales,
Marvelling at peaceful light,
Your promise still in sight
Only much more humbly.

Hung over again
We shiver in the wind.
Surveying the splendor of this city,
Knowing we betrayed its beauty,
Corrupted its freedom.
Slaves to our lust,
We still cannot rise to the occasion:
It isn’t about us
