Salt Box Cry



The Park Union Square,
bathrooms there to relief,
Magazine Purses,
grocery stores,
lunch Counter diners,
chocolate shares.

Geary Boulevard to China Town,
North Beach to Fishermans Wharf,
the Embarkadero a Ferry Building,
Top of the Mark,
St Francis that.

Van Ness Street a thoroughfare,
trolley sounds to Muni scares,
One Way Streets all ways dares,
rails on the avenues,
slippery out there.

Cable Car Turn Abouts,
swings of seats,
Up the Hill Down the Peak,
Nob Hill the Old Mans Club,
Lucky Strike a Gentlemans Rite.

Massage Parlors Tenderloin,
bars a plenty,
all in showing,
cube talk blocks,
Opera House,
Court in Session,
the March is flowing.

Golden Gate Park Pan Handle Crowd,
Haight to One side journey louds,
Masonic steeps to Blood Bank drive,
Copper Penny Value Giant,
Giant Value Penny Copper,
all on the Sears in spy.

Pool Rooms Sutro,

Fleishhacker Zoo,

Play Land Central Ocean Beach,
scary lady laughed at least,
name was Sal of Mechaniques,
leading to the Copper Slides,
burned your thighs burlap lied.

The Freak Show the Nation called,
it was the City by the Bay,
Frank Sinatra sang away,
I left my Heart in San Francisco stay.

Beat Cops walked their Key to place,
none could cheat as turn style laced,
clocks in clocks out,
the wrist replace,
now the Cars are not so traced.

Round the Bends to Twin at top,
Koit Tower or was it popped,
West Portal seemed another World,
what they had was keenly sad,
a sort of sterile visit in mad.

Stones Town an Outdoor Mall,
Serramonte was a crawl,
down the freeway Colma stalls,
the dead, the burials of Cemetery dolls.

Swift to Airport return post haste,
the Presidio still offered trace,
the rows did speak but did have feat,
explaining more than just it creeps.

Baker Beach to Stinson See,
the Cannon holes look Farallon Islands,
Great White Sharks belly larks,
Tug Boats guide the Barge in Rides.

The Light House off the Shores to shied,
yet another light that died.
