chinatown is a destination
chinatown is a journeytwenty-four blocks gently sloping Nob Hill into FiDi
two paths flat for walking Union Square to North Beach
parallel streets a single block apart
side-by-side cultures a world apart
Grant St flows with travelers from foreign lands
Stockton St grinds with immigrants from china
bright colors of souvenirs filling up windows
muted colors of laundry hanging from windows
casual drifting from place to place
determined plodding from here to there
an american/chinese vision of chinese fantasy
a chinese-american vision of american reality
