Feel my words as these treasure the feet that I have no-pause for people at the basis,
to such I know of comprehension and the cemetery,
talk a grave and I will read the benediction that the Renaissance is not an Era or times in multiply the face is at steak,
taste this morsel and the chalk lets you understand that concrete is not sand.
Count that grass and multiply the blades by the drop of waste that sumps provide?,
why is the condition of Colma a green pasture and yet downtown San Francisco processions dry dusty lots,
what grave made that botch?,
my taxes paid for more in a Jail than the health of salt declassified,
what of our Mayor?
Did the Governorship not recognize while in the chair that health is more than a park?,
does not the street have a Name Recognized by what is a Noun?
Yes is not the field of sugar and Crops of cotton and bundles of Tobacco that Marlboro rose,
the thorns upon a grassy flat is the same as a knoll in Texas and yet the pasture is left for what find of death,
panic and restriction is not the Fair of downtown San Francisco at a Circus no longer at the Ice Rink on Geary,
yet its always the yet that made the Sears pass over the tunnel that dug to the rock,
just as the gravel tarmacs to The Richmond,
where is the district that made a map so that my friends of dead now in Guyana concrete can't make form,
what registry do I sign to say I don't know you but hello is common ground that I found upon birth,
my friends from a generation that died at their parents hand in Africa makes me remember the hand,
a smile and a warmth that made face-painting the garage under that lot in front of City Hall and yet,
yet I cannot see the lot.
Where are the cars that gave that underground it's name,
the 815 delivery on a day where a British citizen beat my heart?,
no that British Citizen beat my hide as my skin; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hide_(skin),
as my back rose bruise after bruise it was the cut by the belt around his waist,
did you not comprehend the British Citizen that goes to Public School known to be Private?,
can you not understand the lessons that you as a Country allowed in to our cities, towns and countrysides?,
is it really only the Green Card in the U.S.,
a permit allowing a foreign national to live and work permanently in the U.S. supplied?,
yes.
I did not cut out a doll to puppet a dog for a friend of flare and companionship,
I must not love my Partner as the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want,
lo I lay down in green pastures I shall not cry,
lo the Valley of Death I speak no guise,
I rise to the sunshine's breadth and live in the warmth of the grace,
no napkin will write number to the names that missed this worth of sight in a venue that City Hall has demolished,
how is it possible to be so close to a neighborhood and allow the paint to peel upon the Streets of San Francisco,
how is it possible that the swing-sets are not furnished with the posture of smiling leaks,
where is the accountability for the climb of leadership to that new chair with gavel,
no Judge gave rinse to I as I sat in the lap as a child and listened to the judge ask my siblings,
I swam no swamp as it was that British citizen that gave threat to the belt that wound the beatings to house,
815 again as Hemway Terrace was merely a Flat that rode a bathroom to a weird window rain-suit,
for Portland in the State of Oregon I query nothing more than notable quest,
is my biological Father in your stead?
Does your Hall of Records have a Man that writes with his pause?,
does your fact face my law hand as the wording will fire to a sentence of nothing hidden just released,
does the San Franciscan make more than a laughter at my cause?,
do you at basic structure in Oregon know of my existence or have you excused my birth as a City kid?,
does your giggle pea your crop of discussion to conversation that votes are laws in the Judges Chamber?
More to that is the biology?,
no.
At a young shock from the Oregonian siblings lines were drawn,
down here in The City I spoke to no wheel as the drive was in the draw,
I chose The Cops,
found upon the staff I entered this World at the finds,
gates golden to this World of technique,
my glass is not rose colored to see the shape of skin to that hydrogen in exchange for air,
I find that a tree is a Birch to the Silvery snow that glasses the eyes of Oregonians on shoot,
find this and compass no needle as that is an Oregonian throwing down the book to Church,
what a scope to narrow the forest as the highway is not a beach,
you see in California I have the C.H.P. and you yet I have chosen long ago,
I chose the Cops,
you Oregonians have Mounties?,
or is just the Calvary that you cross?
Plow that State as Canada versions sleep in Town with Seattle,
break the word down slowly methodically and spell for yourself as eye blinks,
the car again will recover that as the windshield is not for the bugs or is it the compassion that Man signed,
what gift am I as a LIVE BIRTH on my BIRTH CERTIFICATE from Children's Hospital,
California Street.
Magnificence must grab my live technology to say to the facing grinds you're the back,
land and green flight above the clouds that do give rain for the rise of more than technical machine,
find this force to understand magnetic?,
centrifugal is a word that describes more to the Space Race now!!
Out to our next lives as Past Lives do not scream as what is today November 7, 2018,
it is the now clock of no more Big Ben to create a craft at Cambridge as Oxford denies,
crass letter to envelope the creed.
Black or White?,
not even that can satisfy as in San Francisco we have vehicles that represent our love,
not one day has separated face to see the grace of this Country and the denial of that love,
how hatred must flow through the veins of States in the United seats of dinner evenings that salt to pepper paste,
butter is not the margarine that makes Crisco the oil of no flowering statue,
find this less and the greater than signs?,
not necessary.
Beacon on this lighthouse is the facts, my older brother came in my door and as crossing the threshold while looking at me said he's tired of the black and I stared back. My older sister said I am a jew while spitting further words of slander and this has happened for my entire life. My younger sister barged in the dining room one evening in 2011 or so, her father, my step-father, the British citizen was present and my mother and I were just having a fun conversation. Sarah sat down for only one moment before she rose and began charging towards me at our home on 22nd Avenue and said quote, "YOU SHOULD TAKE A GUN AND BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF IT WOULD BE THE BEST THING FOR THE FAMILY". My younger brother said I was their slave as he pointed to the next job that I needed to complete. This is not a Cinderella Story where I find or found a glass slipper and my Knight in Shining Armor comes or came to save me as I chose the Cops, reality dictated long ago and Knights in Shining Armor are for girls that believe in Fairy Tales and I was not afforded that belief as anything other than real. My love is for Fairy Tales though as I love the Scandinavian Tales, plus as I came to understand more and more of them now all I have to say is there is a story about Gretel that fits right here and then you can ask what is the product that Tamara used to express the Grimms factor with and I'll say it was called Hexol and she kept it under the sink. And my step-father said also in front of my mother while I was in Corte Madera that if the job had been left to him it would have been done right the first time.
add.'1
Just to be understood, I chose the Cops as a kid as I was told that I had to take sides. The sides included the following comprehension, you have to be on their side (my older brother and sister's side), or the gentleman kind enough to sign my birth certificate. I was three or four years old at the time that my older sister and brother made me chose sides, I chose the Cops, S.F.P.D. specific as I was born and raised in San Francisco and was familiar already with their presents. So, to be clearly understood, I chose the Cops as their Peace Officers and don't just shoot people dead, their motto is to 'Protect and Serve' however I must admit I never did get the 'Serve' part however I understood immediately the 'Protect'!!
