My Part of Town

See what going down

 around home base

Some of us catch the bus

Others demand a more 

elite mode of transportation

 

Red hot chili peppers

Old Oakland farmers market 

One Chinese lady bought all

Posing for a friend

Bound for a restaurant

around the corner called

The Fat Lady

 RAUKOUS

indeed

 Neo-constructivist 

threshold

 Puns defeat intention

 Neo-Expressionist

 Equanimity

 

 Industrial design

refracted

 

 Mirror World

 2.

 Private Festivities

aboard the Potomac

Same sex wedding

if I'm not mistaken

Mother of the groom

watching for some no-show

 They held departure 

as long as they could,

palpable nervousness

 

 Abundant refreshments 

were rolled aboard,

Not a big crowd,

a handful of young men,

 some older family members

 Today the Potomac

flies the Rainbow Flag,

with it's own honor guard

 Backing up,

backing up,

nearly to Alameda

There they go 

As Sherlock Holmes would say,

I wish them joy

 Look who came over,

 I find these grey gulls

quite attractive
