Sweet Meats
Life from a fish bowl
encapsulated ..above and
behind the gilded dado's of peachy pink
and flannel-gray of San Fran's
Victorian Ladies
Life wrapped with the ledges and overhangs
and portcullis , frail, precious, half formed,
half crazed, oft newly born
each Lilliputian presence a sweet meat
inside their saccharin selves.
Life dawns, as a colorful array
of hard candy colored covers
shake forth from raspberry doors...
coffee toffee
liquorice bits
vanilla suckers
all with their surprisingly soft centers
to sweeten San Francisco's scene.
