September Exhibitions in Berkeley









1.


 Sidewalk art




 What lies beneath




 Push pin pointillism




  American Thanksgiving dinner,
Does this turkey make my ass look fat?












The Cubist cul-de-sac






 Surrealist boudoir





 

 Another day,
Another dharma









 Soon the entire world will be commodified 







2.



 

 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition





 

 The Jewel City
San Francisco 1915







 Bijoux of nostalgia







 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition
at San Francisco
1915








 Holding up the walls
 The cost of life in the bay area,
The Labor of Hercules






World Fairs begin and end in time gone by





The flush of youth,
the shock of the new




 Hard won
The Golden West



 The glittering city of dreams




 Take from someone who spends a lot of time on the Bay
Treasure Island is cold and windy, 
Lonesome and dark







 .
 Humanist ideals
Writ large





 Civilizations of the bay
Fall and vanish away





 Vaguely recollected on the street today








So we wait for the train doors to open
To take us on home...
Yipes stripes!
Oh to have been the breeze,
And those sneaker spats,
Hand off, R. Crumb, she's mine
