FOLSOM STREET BLUES
by Jim Stewart
West Coast Beef
The canvas hung at The Ambush
Off Folsom Street
Sweet nubile naked Ariadne waits
As if on some ancient Grecian urn
While spike-haired strapping Theseus
And mesomorphous Minotaur
Duel for her with their dicks
BullMan’s killed within the labyrinth
Splashed by some early SoMa artist
With bright polychrome Gauguin-colors
Buffet is offered after for
Those who can’t go home again
Beef tartare with
Capers onions and uncooked egg
A legacy of Baltic Russia when
Horsemen shredded red meat with knives and
Ate it raw
