Twelve Shots that Shook My World Today




(sort of)






Helicopters drove me from my aerie
to confront the alleged
real world





Well staged demo in progress
Miniscule crowds
don't show up on camera







Symbolic victims
doing the Abu Ghraib





Somethings going on 
behind the picket,
an anarchist cell



Taking down the flag
of the State of
California


Note chopper


Bye-bye, Oski,
see you soon



Oakland's police force
demonstrates its customary
restraint hold






 Our city's flag was already
 at half mast over 
the tragedy in Orlando
Or was it Cleveland?

As an old drunk on Amtrak
in Colorado once asked me,
Why do they have to protest 
at a time like this?
USA was invading Iraq
at the time 









Moments later
from the bus on Telegraph 



 Girls were happily
shopping for jewelry,
It goes to show,
 Life is what you make it




Center street 
Downtown Berkeley



 Huge heads 
of a couple of
American Poets
