Sanfrancisco Bridge



Sitting silently
Upon a deserted,neglected corner of the
Golden Bridge of Sanfrancisco
My mind fly away off my soul
Above I see clouds racing one another
Below I see ships and vessels swimming away
like odd-looking fishes
And in between the place
Oh lo! this fine structure that is being
suspended in air for real
Humans with all their tears and bliss,odds
and ends passing through its breasts like
dwellers in dreams
And I in that secluded corner
Having lit up my pipe,and all that stuff that
snubs reality,creations and all
Reflects the memories of past,present
and future
Then I laugh aside all by myself at this
sinning flesh that gives pleasure,power,pride
