This Week in The Hoodie

Welcome to the Flaneur's patch

It's in a classy part of town

 An endless supply of beverages on a hot day,

But there's no such thing

As a free glass of water

 

 The coolest young people,

 A place where the trees are truncated,

 Where when elevator doors open,

You're face to face with the Port of Oakland

 Where you can float out on sunlight and water

And reach a sea of tranquility,

Inside

So you want to be a bird? *

I kept traveling as the gull flies,

And crossed the new Eastern span of the Bay bridge,

I have sailed under it several times 

But this is my first time on it,
The long stretch of unimpeded bay view is superb,
We saw a stirring vertical rainbow

Joey and I were on our way to SF Jazz
In order to dig the great Charles Lloyd,
I felt like I was on OG Kush, oh wait, I was

Miles away.... miles away..... **

I hear music when I look at my image captures
