The Week in Post-History

Fully flowering tree

on campus in November

Things can't return to normal

normal is the mundane past,

Borderline battleground

is the state we're in

More scattered

photo-journalism

until we resume our

Flaneurian focus

I'm having an extraction Monday

so I'm devoured a quality beef burger

on whole wheat pita from Bongo,

My blood will be thick as beef stew

Stop to boggle at traditional art

transformed into digital 

a beaded tapestry

of LED nodes

Mick Jaguar

as screened by

Andy War-hole, actually

Chubby Torture Porn

Botero found his kitsch niche,

big-eyed kittens rolling dice

Add the words Time and History

maybe a pointless time-line

Still 

there is a thrill

it can't be denied

The chicks are pissed

because one of their own

was denied the White House

Don't mess with

Anna Magnani,

Top poultry shop

round here

ANT FARM - MEDIA BURN

TV round up 

at ye olde

Cow Palace

Friday

Veterans Day

 Mexicans are building a wall

and we're going to pay for it

 Farmer's Market

He was peeling off

rapid Bop riffage

 I upset his train of thought

so he stopped a moment

but what a soulful shot

 Onto Berkeley

home to the longest-running

Cannabis dispensary in the world

 Home to Van Gogh socks

 Einstein disguised as Robin Hood

 Seven customers emerged

from the stockings store

Close examination shows the girl

looking cross is not annoyed by me,

No one even notices smart phones

 November is now official

Month of the Dead



Two more socks shoppers
joined the group
to number nine in all

 Bye, girls

Would they recognize me

if they saw me again

in a police line-up?

 Remember

Shakespeare he's in the alley 

with his pointed shoes and his bell

 Stephen Strange

passing though town

on Veterans Day,

Nothing going down at all

 Only to fly back to

his mystical inner sanctum

Roll up some Gorilla Glue #4

Sprinkled with 

Durban Cookies kief

 Farmers market redux

should be selling buds

soon

 Color shopping

at Old Oakland 

Farmer's market

 Pomegranate

a jewel-like

object of wonder

 Saturday morning

 Construction workers

from my bathroom

 window

 

 A beautiful Fall Saturday

the hills as seen from 

MacArthur BART station

 Another stubborn 

encampment across

 from the high school

 Staff art show

Berkeley Public Library

 The Thin White Duke

Prince

made us happy

left us sad

 Mohammad Ali

I heard him speak

at my University once

was dull, we cut out

 Lemmy 

Kill-meister

 I guess this thing

died this year too

Red and blue

my astro colors
