Green

Everyone had a bit of Irish blood, or at least it seemed that way.  San Francisco downtown was full of merriment today, and the non-Irish dressed up all the same, with shamrocks, big buckles and something green.

Standing next to Bank of America’s building in the freezing cold, a young woman pulled down her skimpy shorts and bared her bottom at her boyfriend’s camera.  They were not Leprechauns, even though they wore big green broad-brimmed hats.  They were just a little drunk, with the bars opened and the bagpipes playing Amazing Grace.

Walking up the hill to home, I saw little white spring flowers quivering in the wind.  The grass and trees had been washed by yesterday’s rain.  It was not only St. Patrick’s Day.  It was Spring Day.
