Consult the San Fran Bay We’ll walk the sideroads till we find our way We’ll taste and cringe to Dionysus’ wine Exams are done, we’re set free today We’ll lay on Baker Beach and speak hearsay. We’ll giggle, gazing at the stars inline Why stay inside? Consult the San Fran Bay The oxytocin stings, we hug all day Disparate colleges...
