slick cement steps rise from broken
slabs slathered in stuck gum, garbage,
and shit. a reek of piss from a stained
corner, the edges are always dirty so it’s

I’ve been prepping for my upcoming Poetry Reading at the Utah Arts Festival. I’m not looking forward to leaving SF for a weekend but I know it’ll be a good change of pace to get out for a bit. While I prep, I’ve been taking long walks, trying out coffee shops in downtown SF, and reading more.
