Kook Both Ways

Is this an example of the city’s attempts to keep its Yiddish-speaking citizens safe when they cross the street (“Kook” is Yiddish for “Look,” the usual word spray-painted in SF crosswalks)…or a graffiti artist’s commentary on the eccentricity of San Francisco’s citizenry?
Seen on Folsom St. in the Mission.

In a paraphrase of the Bard’s famous tale, the Queen asks the Prince: “What are you reading, Hamlet?” and he replies:  “Words, words, words…” 500 years later the gay literary great William Burroughs said “Language is a virus from outer space.” Well…that would certainly explain a lot!

More Homotextuality here, here, and here.

Banksy! We snapped this shot on 9th St between Folsom and Harrison Streets in San Francisco’s SOMA (South of Market) district some time back. Popped up “just so” during last year’s run of Exit Through The Gift Shop.
