The Fact of Her
In San Francisco
at any given moment
there is a girl
on Grant St.
in North Beach
wearing a long
and fashionable coat
raven black hair
tumbling down
upon her shoulders
a cup of wine
in one hand
maybe a cigarette
in the other
looking
like something
from an old
French film
swaying
on the sidewalk
to music from a bar
or a man playing
guitar on a corner
maybe she knows
you’re watching
maybe she doesn’t
but the thing is
the simple fact of her
makes all the rest of it
worth suffering
through.
