San Francisco Sea Fret
or
The Day They Took Me For 60
The girl in the picture
With long, dark hair
Stares at the camera
In a pre-digital age
San Francisco sea-fret
On Christmas Eve
Pebbles and shingles
Tide and the bay
She's homesick for friendship
Wants her mum's hug
and the family tree
The woman at the counter
With hair going grey
and thinning
and thinning
Stares at the pharmacist
Who assumes she's prehistoric
Her heart aches for friendship
Misses her mum's hug
A branch snapped
