YOU

You create poetry
by simply standing
in the
afternoon rain,
cigarette dangling
from a crooked
smile.

Some of us
have to work
harder
at this kind of thing.

  — William Taylor Jr., American poet based in San Francisco

i bet they never

Wise men say it’s good to know
when to let go of things

but I bet they never saw you
in that dress

stretched out on the damp grass

with the late afternoon sun
shining

down
just so.

Quote of the Day

October

the air smells of rain
and is a perfect grey

the sad old buildings
lean against it

a beauty
you would have to see
to understand

today my sadness
is bigger than Jesus
but there is a joy
even in this

a quiet bar on Polk Street
something to drink
and a table by the window

outside
the people seem
to have places
to go

the cars
roll up and down

lights flash
green and red

and I could never find it
in myself
to strive for more than this

never dreaming
to be anything

other than the sky
or the smell of rain.

— William B. Taylor, Jr., American Poet based in San Francisco.
