Poems about SF
"If you’re going to die on the street, San Francisco is not a bad place to do it." - Nellie Bowles
A collection of poems about living in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area.
Cast out into the turbulent sea, defiantly standing against the Pacific They say one day the city will get what it deserves, an earthquake away from annihilation Till then it still stands, daring God if only by existing itself
If San Francisco was a woman, she’d be exactly my type, Outrageously beautiful, gorgeous in the most ordinary times and places Who appreciates the beauty of nature in the day and fine dining and cocktails at night Smart, driven. Capable of changing the world Although I know the city has flaws, Hopelessly addicted to both drugs and good intentions, held back against achieving its full potential Cold and expensive at times I can hardly understand why The only thing I fear is that I wouldn’t know how to break up with her.
Interning in Silicon Valley, staring through big glass windows into the Bay Stood massive companies with immense power among the Redwood trees Shouldering the websites, apps, and phones billions of humans used every single day For a brief moment it felt like you were standing in the center of the internet And by extension the world.
