Longtime no double-O old pal Joey Know.
1.
Ferry Land
We re-enacted a lunch we once had
Behind the distorting window
We discussed the death of Van Gogh,
Shot by a young French punk aping
A Wild West cowboy with a gun
Luminescent sky of January,
Up to the balcony of the Ferry landing,
No ferry service on Winter weekends
Mechanical design window
Today's ceiling of clouds
Clearing in our Northern skies,
Bryter layter

Never Never Land
As seen from Mountain View cemetery
Robber Baron Heights,
Just had to think about it
And there we were
This was thanks to Joe's new auto
There it is hiding behind a mausoleum
It felt like a space ship capsule
To one who so rarely rides in such coaches
Thirty years ago the angel
Was still completely intact after a century,
The hat adds to the sadness
Joey observed that the two black marble pillars
Refracted the light with a marked difference
One was yellow/green, the other red/blue
Just another uplifting day in Oakland
