Do you remember
Summer girl
San Francisco

How walking
Down First and Main
You had the whole town
Eating out of your hand

The sun
Over the bay

The sea and sky
Ever so blue

How though
The eye knew better
There always seemed to be
Flowers in your hair

I remember the masts and the breeze.  And sitting on a curb, and an old man offering me a drink from a brown paper bag.

I stand corrected.  Not only did I understand this but I smiled as if the memory were mine.

Sometimes that is all we get.

Oh, how memories flood back to a time of my youth. Thank you for this and allowing me to sit and stare out my window remembering ...

p.s. I do love your poetry. I don't always understand some of it, but it makes no matter.
