ST. VALENTINE'S DAY IN SAN FRANCISCO (more Mission Haiku)


Happy Japanese
Guy dances and composes
Down 24th Street

___

New red Camaro
Hangs a left because it can
Home for Mom today!

___

Love Hurts


Couples walk their dogs
Hot capuccinos in hand
Kissing and dripping

___

People think real hard
On this street days before pay
Men sell red roses

___

Redondo

Sunday's best in Spring
Everyone's a flower post rain
Two men pass a can

Two men pass a can
Everyone's a flower post rain
Sunday best in Spring

___

In Passing

Running man, tiny
Black shorts, holds stopwatch, lights past
Hip hop Adidas

___

So many flowers today!
People pass dressed Sunday best
One's in love wear red

___

Foreigners today
Walk slow past the church. Future
Artists in strollers

___

Fast

Curly-haired guy eats
A banana, walks past old
Guy who looks like him

___

Men with ice cream cones,
Chicharron: hard to believe
The blood on the streets

___

Someone's looking. All
Think of it. The pregnant one
Rubbing her belly

___

Yellow taxi takes
Or brings back home. MUNI bus
Just misses the hit

___

"This Sucks"

Sweeping up the trash
On Valentine's Day, cute
Guy makes it an art

___

On Harrison

The pelota man
Runs fast past Humphry Slocombe,
Heavy cart tinkling

___

Humphry Slocombe sells
Jalapeño mango scoops
Same as man from cart

___

Dogs bother the old
Woman dressed for church. Blond Grrrl
Doesn't apologize

___

A single man sings
Drunkenly down the street
"AH-MERRY-KAH!" loud

___


Oompah tuba sounds
From the taquería blare
Ranchera love songs

___


Too many drunk guys
I think I'll go home to my
Dog tonight: True Love
