Long Walk on Russell Street








Moroccan Berkeley
a fine constitutional
through earliest Spring









Flashy jackets may come and go,
denim you always have with you







Realm of  the delicate
iris


Cruising for hip grannies





Vital colors
even in natural light
I don't have to
 psychedelicize








Buy hey,
that's what I do





Contemporary Gothicism

After all, Berkeley's
Halloween central
takes place on upper Russell
the other side of College Ave






Harmless occultism
white magic
of the new age variety


Demons of the nature
of the affluent class


A little January sunshine
after some rain and...

It's like Spring





The New Year's sunlight
gets stronger every day

The old Berkeley
lifestyle







A succession of mild
visual pleasures





Some folks feel
quiteat home
amid spikes and quills





Xmas bulbs still bobbing
in the garden of succulents







A woke house
we are all colors
 in the spectrum




This Grammar school
has a butterfly garden



Spooning trees


Oversize Xmas bulb
on a traffic island



Time has come today
Sun-dial
a fond anachronism

I hopped a 12
on MLK

But it malfunctioned
a few miles later
and I got out
to await the next one



Bumping as a result into
a lovely flowering tree





Swinging like a bell
in the breeze
Until the next bus showed

Meanwhile the first bus
eventually pulled away
without me









At Grand Lake
we bumped into
the first bus again
stalled and stranded
Tired Friday passengers
loaded into our bus
