Open Air

1.

Artsy Berkeley

Hallway at the

Trump Louie

Aleatory images from a wandering life

Reptile with style

Going to ever-stylish

Berkeley

 Or Ill Noir

as we call it

 The mirrored tree

Bears are beloved
in all the places in  California
where they never show up
alive

 

A lot of gratuitous

flag-waving these days

in olf Berkeley USA

Lawless parking

of construction storage?

Hang a flag on it

Berkeley High drama club

last month it was

The Vagina Monologues

 Ashcan jazz

This is not a mural

It's a digital image

of a wall

 This is Arts Passage

an indoor outdoor gallery

a corridor of art vitrines

en pleine aire

Shadows and reflections
within shadows and reflections
such is the mind's perception

Digital trees

indeed

toward Ghost Nature

Bacon and Swiss

digital art exhibits not

really my cup of tea

 

The house where Wavy lives

Having trouble focusing

 Better hit the road

 

2.

Lakeside Oakland

 Come a little closer

 The paradox

 of the carnivorous flowers

In my curious research

I've returned to the garden

A peaceful place of refuge

or so it seems

for most visitors

 There's one of the constricting

 flower manifestations

that have me concerned



They are covered in bees

So that God may

bless all His creatures

 They look charming but

don't let it nuzzle you

 Formidably some

stand as tall as the trees

 Or nearly so

Egad

this one's bigger than

yon greenhouse

 Almost as big as the house

 Still growing,

will be big as a house

Look it's huge,

OK?

So fond farewells foretold

we withdraw

our habeus corpus intact

The entrance stone

in the slanting sun

easily became

a skull
