Bay area's crown jewel, The Claremont,
Where age 24 Steve Jobs and I talked,
Well, him--as to the future--I was shocked,
The guy aimed high, humble, who want for naught.
An unscheduled stop by a young Prince Charles,
That shook the hands of this Hawaiian kid.
Isabel Sanford's inebriated,
Big Head for A. M. Talk Show With The Stars.
The moment when Chris Kristofferson and,
Geraldo Rivera stuck in the lift,
Then there's Joan Baez mom, a bit of a rift,
Some more late check-in, Waylon Jennings band.
The resort, like San Francisco, midway,
Pearls in an oyster, San Francisco Bay.
***Same hotel where the late Ricky Nelson band stayed with wife Kristin who's actor Mark Harmon(--sister) from the show NCIS, who also visited there, whereto, I have already submitted a sonnet.

Fog Inside Quilt
Sep 2011
Claremont
I make a cup of hot chocolate
A snack of cheese tomatoes and onions on a toast
Press play on the Beltek DVD player, the only one
that will play without asking to change the region code
Remote control does not work,
Adjust the projector, the screen
And run to my designated place in the quilt,
Into the system of covering well
And snuggle against
no one.
And watch
nothing.
the snack
was never made since.
the hot chocolate mix
never bought since.
I cover myself clumsily in another quilt
Keep the world out
And into the fog where all is
still well.
