A pitiful sonnet

A Rainbo bread truck appears
& a Bimbo pastry truck leaves.
Does norcal lack terminal-Ws?
(back-East, they always ff-off.)

It’s bright out; sun’s shining,
but mountains are blurry-grey.
I don’t see anybody walking,
this Sat. morning, but soon

a white, 4-door Toyota Prius
exits the parking-lot; people's
expectations are falling
as Silicon Valley shrinks,

& jobs are now pitifully few,
& jobs are now pitifully few.
