Mid-February Quiddity

If you're feeling sinister

Girl on the bus

A Flaneur is always

out and about

Hank

at the Rockridge library

Euphoric shoots

of impending Spring

 

Strange pod clusters

appear rapidly

 

Doesn't he have

a high IQ

Multitudes park on the estuary

never get cold

An earthen labyrinth

 Heard singing so I went

into St Paul's Episcopal

A deacon was being installed
Gospel story told
about apostles competing
status seeking and
holiness don't mix

The preacher

seemed histrionic

with rather mundane insights,

I didn't last long

Young black man

driving a new corvette

somehow more authentic

Even the very coolest

do get annuated

 Always something there

to remind me

Psychedelic

 Project XO

Stay high

all the time

Back on the estuary

library was closed

due to Lincoln's birthday

My little darling diving bird

never lets me get too close

Lake Merritt's motto

Many of us are aware

that this is not a chalet,

it's not a lake either

A boathouse restaurant

A green building

as is appropo

Clouds were like

frisky dogs

Monumental kitsch

Scottish Rite Temple

It's the reformed branch,

the old Scottish Rite

involved the flesh

 of one's enemy

baked in a meat pie

I've been inside

myself

but I didn't sample

the haggis

I'm much more content

to be outdoors with

the ultra-yellow flowers

A waterside manse

across the boulevard

Haunted they say

ghastly acts

in the master bedroom

the whole nine yards

Fat Tuesday

is on its way

The holy season of Lent

10-14 February 2018
