FRISCO  ‘74

Happening kind of place back then
Live tiger on the hood of a red Caddy
in the chockablock streets of Chinatown
God I love a parade
Carol Doda swinging her famous 44s
over a pink piano In the Condor Club
with a two-drink minimum
which was absolutely no problem
Deep Throat showing 
In every hole-in-the-wall
Goddam!
Zebra murders still top of mind
and The Exorcist showing with  
pukers and screamers
and flashing ambulances
A sensory overload
In North Beach with no sign
of Tony’s heart on Broadway.
