Berkeley All Over

Someone in Golden Gate park
 accused me of being

so Berkeley

which was odd
but not entirely untrue

 Don't you think the donkey laughs at you?

 Oh back-to-school sale

 Sorry wrong question

Step in the right direction though,

first US museum show

To sell your pleasure to you

 2.

Uh-oh,

more flowers on Benvenue

Oh,

 to be a bee

Red tree blue sky

Declaration of joy

Must have been 

a good year for the roses

All that rain didn't hurt

A lot of different flowers

work the same basic

daisy design concept

Color fixation

Rhododendron dig the shade

 Around the bend

still putting finishing touches

on his magnum opus
on Webster street

 3.

 Back downtown on the

420

holiday

 Berkeley elevates early,

mid-wives play mozart,

Playgrounds demo 

classical columns

 To every child

his throne

The sizzle of Pop

No tears, my dears,

All signs of the times

Stickers on a park bench

Socks that say,
Yes, I'm Latina
Who the hell do you
think you are?

 

 Berkeley girl with friends

coming into town

on a BART train

Everyday can be

 a 420 day

if you want it

 Everybody pulled their socks up
