Just spent an hour and half
standing in the evening rush
On the corner of Market and New Montgomery
I took a thousand faces in,
And I fell in love again
With humanity again
Everything is beauty

A woman hurried by
so perfect and so flawed
She glanced at me twice
"You are beautiful"
A haggard man crossed the street
a beard of wire, ash and coal
covered his head and neck
He stared at his feet
"You are beautiful"
