GRANT AND GREEN
The bar on the corner: The Grant and Green:
Johnny Nitro tonight
Across the street
the corner market: The Grant and Green
Examiner 25 cents Half-Price To-Day
Why you so late? I don't know.
They kept me waiting.
The grocer collates inserts into the Sunday paper.
The red light in the Buddhist altar
in the window on the other side of the street from me
illuminates a people who understand the necessity
to worship and live in darkness.
I know you gonna leave me, but I refuse to let you go.
Mr., can't you spare some change tonight, Mr.?
What you laughing at?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Good times and buckets of vomit
I don't want to hear that.
Grant Avenue, San Francisco, California, U.S.A., 1995
every night. Here comes the breaking glass.
Don't beat him up! Don't beat him up!
--David Joseph
