Far From Here

Poet: Ken Jordan
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:

Click click click
                              T
                                i
                                 c
                                    Ti c
                                            T
                                               i
                                                 c
                           Ding-a-ling

                      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 -
