DESCRIPTION:San Francisco authors read from their work. That means you, too. \nSan 
 Francisco located stories given preference. \nMic-less open-mic. 
 \n\nLoose-leaf authors \nscat \nter \nwords in \nthe wind sha \ndow \nof a 
 library \n\nAND NOW, THE MUSEABLE FEAST: \nThere's a 
 complementary/complimentary full-on meal after the open mic. Join 
 us!\n\n\nI've got an electric bi-i-eek \nI've got an electric bi-eek 
 \nSometimes I don't switch it on \nIt's still easy to ride; \nI listen 
 closely to the talk I cruise by \nMost everyone has something \nSomewhere 
 they're going \nThen I pass by the mortuary; \nThe nomads in tents face the 
 statutory \nPropane camp tanks feeding Fentanyl to the masses \nRussian oil 
 splattered roadkill debris; \nI hit every red light when I ride this street 
 \nBut still I only hear half that I meet \nI'm still too fast for the 
 others; \nListen now, sisters and brothers \nI ride an electric bi-i-eek 
 \nI ride an electric bi-eek \n\n\nAND HERE'S ANOTHER \n\nThere are murals 
 around town painted by XXXXX YYYY, \nThe faces of public places, \nSuch as, 
 for instance, the Bernal Branch library's eastern wall. \n\nIt strikes me, 
 though, that in Women's History Month \nWomen muralists ought to get half 
 the space, don't you think? \nEvery year we ought to put the vertical 
 places up for auction \nSo that who does the talkin' isn't just who got 
 there first. \n\nYeah, let the boys pay the girls not to put up stuff if 
 \nThe boys want to keep that public view shed theirs. \nI mean, if the 
 girls like the stuff already there, \nDon't bid for the space. Let it ride. 
 \n\nBut humdinger, if Benioff wants to shout to the world \nWith that great 
 big Omphallo thing, but some gal with a brush \nAnd a can of paint has 
 something to say, \nI say, make him have to pay her not to splash her story 
 in the air. \nIt's our sky, isn't it? \nWell isn't it? \n\n\nPassover, 2022 
 according to the Christian calendar\n\n"The stone which the builders 
 rejected has become the cornerstone"\nReally means the rest of it--the 
 walls, roof, and plumbing are our business--\nExcept we were the first 
 builders, you see.\nWe smacked MLK and non-violent resistance in the 
 face\nUpside the head\nTen ways to Sunday.\nThe foundation we've built 
 features knives and grenades, and stones for throwing.\n\nThere's this 
 video going 'round of Trump telling Zelensky (in 2019) to sit down with 
 Putin and talk it out\nMeant to illustrate how tone deaf Trump was to 
 Putin's evil intentions to take the Holy Land with mass graves,\nBut the 
 smug, smart narrative of us all seeing "the despair in Zelensky's face" is 
 our shame in\nWedging the stone in place at the mouth of the sepulcher so  
 the truth wouldn't get out.\nIt was Trump's obligation as our 
 representative as a city on a hill\nTo invite Zelensky and Putin to an open 
 forum on The Ellipse, cameras rolling, to work it on out\nThrough the human 
 gift of language and consensus.\n\nI suppose it's never too late to take 
 \nNon-violence down from the rood\nTo use as the cornerstone,\nBut the 
 martyrs keep piling up\nWhile we gape silently\n\n\n
