Up Russian Hill with a Scooter

The horizon's clear,     unclouded nor hazy,
and Ina Coolbrith's     poet's corner view
from Mt. Tam to Diablo     is unblemished blue.
This walk's not one     for the weak or lazy;
our dragged scooter scraped     as up-hill we huffed--
it's fine on the flats,     but there's few enough,
and daring to ride     downhill'd be crazy.
