La Mer


So, this is just a quick poem I wrote on MUNI (the bus line in SF for all you non-sf'ers) while heading to my apartment from class. I have been trying to write a lot more lately and so far it is going well. I really appreciate all the views the blog has gotten and I'd love to keep the views coming, so I will try not to disappoint. Would love for you to message me on Facebook or text or anything really, just so I know who is reading and maybe how you are liking the blog. Anyways, here is the poem, La Mer. Thanks again everyone!


  La Mer

I know she is near, the Grand Pacific,
but all I see is Cha’s Tv’s and UPS, sadly,
I’m far too large to ship and they would laugh at my destination.

I know she is near, the Grand Pacific,
but the route times aren’t available, don’t worry,
the transit station is to be replaced with a new, state of the art,wave design. It will look like a Pacific wave.

I know she is near, the Grand Pacific,
but this breeze cannot be hers, it comes across as far too chilly,
and it comes across as far, too.

I know she is near, the Grand Pacific,
but I have lost my orientation, and I fear I’m looking south,
or maybe just not hard enough.

I know she is near, the Grand Pacific,
and she will be my home, when I find her, and,
I know she is near the Grand Pacific.
