"THERE IS A DRAGON IN SAN FRANCISCO" Philippe Metaireau 2013
I'll never be able to "paint" you...you are so huge and have so many faces.
Although, I want to possess you on canvas, and want to share you with others.
I want an overview of your Beauty, and I will fly over Golden Gate as pelicans do.
Suspension cables will look like orange snakes linking Asia to America
There is a fault in your ground, a dormant snake in your guts.
So much culture in your streets, so much gold in your banks.
West Coast Constantinople, I will ornate your roofs with oriental carpets!
Bay bridge feeds you from the East, Transamerica takes off to the sky,
Columbus is now watching the blood of his blood on Telegraph Hill...
There is a monologue in my creation,and a dragon in San Francisco.
