Sunday Night
Dinner at Rose Pistoles at North Beach
Shrimp, mussles, sorbet
The sorbet delights
Back to the Hilton for Pernod and bed
Walking
Black men beg or huddle in doorways
Bitter winds
Cold hard desperate nights
Fourth floor windows with newspaper curtains
Stacked suitcases high on shelves
The Chinese Communist party rallies support
There is, not quite, a total lack of interest
No Pernod! America has no Pernod.
Bed.
