San Francisco

          This poem was found by Richard Brautigan 
          in a laundromat in San Francisco.
          The author is unknown.

By accident, you put
Your money in my
Machine (#4)
By accident, I put
My money in another
Machine (#6)
On purpose, I put
Your clothes in the
Empty machine full 
Of water and no
Clothes

It was lonely.

– Richard Brautigan (The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster, 1968)
