Far From Here

Poem: Far From Here
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: October/1984
I live
far from here,
so very far
from the hills
where cable cars
run:

I live far
from
here -
So very
far
from
the
Regency Hotel
on
Marina Green -
I live
so very
far
from
sports cars,
Rolls Royces,
and
Limousines -
Where I live
there are
no
carousel
horses
in
picture
windows-
Or
baby grand
pianos -
Nor
are there
yacht's
in the
harbor,
or
sailboat's
sailing
on the sea -
I live far
from here -
so very
far
from
material
things -
And
from
where I live,
there's
no ocean -
or
"just so"
potted
flower's,
in
bay front
home's
up
Lombard
street -
I live
far
from here -
So very
far -
from the upcoming book
Mirrors, "Life Reflections"
