State of the Arts in Berkeley: a Desultory Look










Some what ho-hum, one fears
the tension is in the performance
viz-a-viz the context

Aesthetic and semiotic
observations
of the rapidly over-crowding
town and gown
interspersed with an art show
featuring a multicultural vision
of the world




Lady Slippers
signify late Summer








All images of
European
tourist-attractive locations
are by definition
kitsch








Day of the eclipse
I stopped by
the Berkeley library
to read a while





Massive
the tree is life






Opened a MOJO magazine
on a scene from my youth,
soaring slide guitar
and the Georgia blues
on the Boston Common






Nature incarnadine






USof A
The emerald city
obscure object
of delusion and desire





Fusion energy
all that bio-mass
coming autumn time









Goon Squads invade
this gargoyle
an ex-con ex-Marine
is famous for punching
a woman in Berkeley








Big beautiful wall
of indigenous
 people



Why don't all
these neo-nazis and KKK
alt-right sociopaths
bring their Tiki torches
to downtown Oakland?
No cops nedd be called








Put a Zodiac Mind-warp
on they ass
 






After countless years on earth
the old Hindu knows
more than we do





 A grassroots movement
against this toxic filth
discarded with impunity
where children grow








Can the Wolf survive?


Talk about a survival


Urban ethnic impasto


Butterfly wing
mural with weed












My way or
the highway




A blue hole

on a utility box
looks inviting
August 2017
