Walk past “Frank is a
Miracle” etched in the
sidewalk on Mason
between Bush and
Pine Streets. Coffee,
remembering how I
love Ibsen, wanting
to read a play. So
I grab Chuck Mee’s
History Plays (Diane’s
recommendation).
This, the first play
I’ve read in over a
decade. Page 4,
look up decoction
(ditto earlier with
diluvial, apologies).
Rainy day with no
rain, further up the
hill is etched “Mika”.
Frank, Chuck, Diane,
Mika, and the lady
dove Coco watches.
The cat furious, hungry,
delirious. The bird, a
tender rooftop, The
Nob Hill Theater,
and not the one with
go-go boys next to
Sushi-Man restaurant.
Sushi-Man, Ryosuke
Yoshioka, 59, throat
slashed without
warning at OfficeMax
by Peter Fong, 45, who
suffered a ‘psychotic
break’. Sushi-Man
opened one of the
city’s first sushi
establishments
in 1979.
