             WORDS 

We reach out with words

straight, devious,

proper, obscene.

We reach out with words,

love with words all shared by,

poor, rich, fearful, brave,

foreign, native, ugly, beautiful.

We reach out with words

we share, that once said, take

form and live and march on

and will, they will make us

remember, smile, cry, curse.

Words take form in time,

definite shape.

We reach out with words

that years later come back

to us. Home pigeons to nest

in our tired minds reminding

us of what we said. Of all

we try to forget.

We reach out with words

PERENNIALS

Thank you!

Like seeds on fertil soil,

your words, in my heart,

will become beautiful flowers,

                      perennials.

Thank you!

And, through the years in my

dark moments, I’ll pick them

hold them against my skin

breath their perfume, feast

my eyes with their colors,

                      perennials.

Thank you!

As needed to dispel adverse

feelings, ambivalence, longings,

the blues, the cold, the fog,

                     perennials.

Thank you!

As Time Goes By.

pg. 14

Foster’s chain of cafeterias were all over San Francisco. Foster’s at Seventh and Market never closed which was most welcomed by Greyhound passengers that arrived at the nearby terminal at all hours, day and night. Mimi getting off the streetcar would be greeted by music blaring from loud speakers of nearby record stores, Kay Starr singing Wheel of Fortune, Jo Stafford You belong to me, Nat King Cole Mona Lisa. The cafeteria’s wall to wall windows looked out onto the street. Customers found a festive atmosphere inside where orders were shouted in sing-song, 1 CHICKEN SOUP. 1 PEA SOUP. 1 BEEF STEW. Clever word play was practiced: HOLD THAT CHICKEN AND MAKE IT PEA! A shining glass counter welcomed them filled with appetizing dishes of colorful desserts, fresh cut fruits arranged to please the eye. Tall glasses filled with small squares of Jello shining like jewels, huge emeralds, rubies, topazes. Meats in platters garnished with fresh sprigs of parsley circled with vegetables of alternating colors.
