Tourists all line up.
And not one cable car goes
To the Tenderloin.
2000 miles we drive
to get jerked and pushed around
Tulsa time to go
we used to sneak on
now line backed up to Geary
E- ticket required
Late show at Bimbo’s
Cable car back? Ha! good one
Look out for a cab
- whir
cable car driver
what is your fucking problem
i’m trying to sleep
–nwillumsen
It’s just me and you
waiting for the cable car.
You’re drunk- I take bus.
–bsoongrl
Tourists ride outside
“It’s more fun!” comes the chorus
“but it’s cold” says I
–bsoongrl
eh aren’t you afraid
that you’ll fall off? tourist asks
I prefer to stand
–bobboman
Saving me from rain
I came out of the subway
and you were waiting.
On my last birthday
brakeman let me ring the bell
best present I got!
Powell and Mason nights
drivers are always friendly
nicest Muni guys!
–bsoongrl
the brakes are broken
speeding car we lurch forward
argonaught vomit
Another quarter!
If it goes any higher
I’m buying a car.
I get on the bus
and fumble for that quarter.
Damn you Willie Brown
one twenty-five? rats!
better start hording tokens
too late — all sold out
