Song of San Francisco Hills
This is about San Francisco,1967

"Here, Panagiota, is where you do belong!"
And my dearest poets, the sirens
call was not wrong.
It sang a...

Music
We don´t listen to the same blues, you and I.
You don´t hear the bass or the drum or the sounds

Xerses yawped zeolously.
