495 posts! hard to believe… let’s look at an old one: Never Mix Hawking and Kerouac and Coffee
http://www.presssendpoetry.com/2010/03/never-mix-hawking-and-kerouac-and.html

all we know is a
persistent grumble; the shelves
stare blankly at us.

My favorite commenter Bobby Ty left this gem as a comment …  so I’m giving it its deserved spotlight! Enjoy! Thank you Ty – really great piece!

San Francisco and The Blue Soap

When I bathe
With the blue soap
And I smell its crisp aroma
I remember you lying, half covered with the sheet in the Kimpton
While I showered
And your inked arms and unfinished back were a tapestry

And we went to Boboquivari on Lombard
You reclining beautiful in the Taxi
Your head on my lap
And the driver told us of Milk and Twinkies on Lombard
But we were too young to remember the event
And we walked on the Pier and you said
“Listen to the seals!” as they barked and splashed, unseen in the black water
When I bathe with the blue soap
I remember only you
I remember only San Francisco

Be back on Thur! hope to have lots of new poetry then! ciao – j

loneliness is a brick mason
