The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for May 2000
| riding on the Haight Street bus with Trevor and two-bit listening while not looking at the recovering addict beside me telling his friends that it was time to start looking for life rather than death and meaning perhaps that it was not about life or death but that it was time to stop looking while the stoned kid with the brace who couldn't figure out his crutches talked loud to Trevor and two-bit and made a scene the guy next to me kept talking about saving himself his money his friends | | and i was thinking about Dorothy that afternoon moved to tears by a room full of Japanese baskets and how i at lunch would not bend to pick up a nickel i had dropped and then the loud loser who'd forgotten his meds got off with Trevor and two-bit and their girlfriend and then the recovering guy's friend, wondering if he was tired enough to take the advice, and then the recovering guy himself and some of us this part of our ride over, got down, dug some street blues at Market and Powell and made our scene, looking for the next San Francisco March 20, 2000 |
