Forty-Seven Hills
How wonderful!
I have just learned
there are forty-seven hills
in San Francisco.
I am doing imaginative leaps...
First, I imagine they are all the same size
and how that would look
on lemon, lined paper.
Now I am thinking they go down
in equal measure
to the ocean,
and how I would run down
all the way
to the cool ocean, dive in,
and while I'm swimming,
look up at all the hills.
