The Beat Museum: Poems
Sunday, October 11, I was invited to read poems at the Beat Museum in San Francisco. Great audience. Great fun. Here are the poems I read (and sang!).

If you want to hear (without video) individual poems (one or two minutes each), go to the "External link" button at the bottom of each page. Enjoy...…
