This glass imagines the Campanile during a major earthquake
The Flaneur goes looking for black culture
on a cloudy day in the Athens of the West
Observance of formality and tradition prevails
Mortar-boards abound
A day of windy and chilly outdoor receptions
Me and the bear kept an eye out
for African American students
Among the throngs of graduates
The model for this frieze is said to have been
Sather H. Crocker,
A celebrated female impressionist
A witty prank left over from UCB 420 no doubt
Rhododendron trees alongside the music department,
The deep marine trough of cool air
Suits them fine
The corridor of sacred fetishes,
It's a start
Things behind the the sun,
Said to be very ancient
Of course we know that when it comes to Ancient things
Carbon-dating, archeology, etcetera
The Bible is truthier
Starting to get a little warm
In terms of Black representation
Actually, African culture is well represented on campus,
African-Americans not so much
