Oakland Around the Clock







Trafficking in margins and nuance






Trophism
microcosmic glass



















 A perplexing world
of reflection, refraction
and prismatic action





Time to wind off
on a tangent







Searched the world
and found myself,
let God's gift
open your chakras













Young cat sitting
next to me on the nod







He's really asleep
may God bless him




New
 Skull Cafe
trending




Another cat on the 18,
he had a splendid silk shirt
with tropical nightclub designs





Lorin district
Berkland
trending




The Fat Fish
making me hungry
but I got a date




Scary dentist office


She said I was 
a real Yogi




Not so hungry now, though




Washingtown's
looking washed-out 
these days




The Laundrymat, that is
not the nation's capitol



Black Rep theater
glitter-painted wall




Bleached poster







Another wall
for y'all




A happening


Bright and remotely 
cloudy day
at the Port



A pleasure cruise
finding its groove
on The Potomac



Under some tents
on the lawn
festivity going on





A bluesy band led by
an electric cello
She's cellist with 
Oakland Symphony





Slide guitar and distortion-rich
electric cello,
A great sound and they could 
really play naturally,
Her singing while fine
was not on a par 
with her playing


But that was another 
Sunday
ago


Circling back
winding up back
where we started from
where downtown meets uptown




New building
makes you feel
underwater






Where we left
our cosmic wheels
