Psychogeography of a Garden Park
















Over the boundary
of the imagination
in into the Park




Unbounded



Off with our heads



A hasty decision



Impossible
 to reverse




Riot of new roses
by the bandstand
a classroom of kids
showed up and sang
along with the teacher






April clouds
and flowering oaks








Mosaic of the Lake's
urban situation






Radical Pizza truck












Mystical rose



A garden formality

Unread plaques
fastened to boulders
Those who contributed,
enough already
don't want a graveyard



April trees

Woodland stretch


 
Then lowland plants
in extraordinary designs



This planet
the only one for us


Everything
life will ever need
Thrilling discoveries



Spring
is always
forthcoming



Going down the corner
want to score
Poppies, yeah






Infra poppy
suggests elsewhere


Orphic morphism


Overwhelming color


Odd and bulbous
something this way comes




An attractive cactus
nearly a plant animal


Coming on strong
heads into the either



My head's wide open




Back out
the way we came



with Poppies
deep inside

Earth Day Haiku






 
Alameda point
with cannabis lozenge


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A wild duck couple
worried by a bicycle
fly past at arms length
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First a biker gang
then cloud of black confetti
 crows make themselves known
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Widespread air battle
the white seagulls and black crows
war at water's edge
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just over the water
aerodynamic challenge
pair of heavy geese







Gently on my eyes
smooth coots move down the cove
someone was talking
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Noneuclidian
humming bird bounces above
in the new green trees

Happy 420 Holiday to You





HAPPY
420
HOLIDAY









Will bring happiness
 in a pipe
a joint
in extract form
 or as an edible

Night Environs




 
 
Night doesn't fall
it wells up






1. 







End of the year gladness
end of the year sadness














Angel of darkness





 
The traditional
Police Xmas tree





 
 
 
 



Police Headquarters
wishes you
Happy holidays
and hopes you don't
abandon all hope
and enter here


 
 
 
 
The former St Mary's
Roman Catholic church
over the former
La Baraquena
Mexican market


 
 




 
A lonely stretch
Mexicali Rose
across  Seventh street
from the courthouse
and the high-rise
jailhouse

 

 
 
The night life
a candle lit
 at both ends



2.
  

 
 

The new building
nearly two years and
still under construction
causing pain daily




Crepuscular veil

The awakening cometh




The courthouse
stays lit late turning
souls into stone
lives into concrete





Another threshold
to consider











2017-2018

Marine Divination







The Future
your fortune
an escape
 from pervasive
prophesies of doom



Down by the Estuary
on a brisk Sunday
 in almost Winter




A little chilly here
right on the water
yet vivid and
somehow profound



Lots of dazzling
 refraction goes on
 despite the waning Sun
as the Solstice nears


I watched this
 serene snowy egret fish,
Saw it catch a tiny crab
then seem to lose
it when dunking it again,
Skillful attempts
 at recovery

The sky is
wide
open
to the stratosphere


It's Christmas time
the great tree returned
to the foot of Broadway
Jack London Square



There's even
a seagull Christmas tree


For sale:
from tapas
 
 
 
 
 
to tapestries
 


Our motto:
Commercial and marina
services for a fee
 
 Minimal welcome
to non-customers



Paddle world
accoutrements
in a window reflecting
 a sparsely attended
holiday fair
 
 
 
Business as usual
 
And as usual


I'm retired
 to the familiar
dockside perch
old men on benches
sleepy,
 watching
the tide roll by
 



Suddenly

A mast appeared
a few feet away


where no boat out to be

 A lone mariner
in a stressful scrape
a narrow miss
of unforgiving pilings



Uplifting
when a fellow human being
escapes misfortune



When boating
utmost care
should be employed
at all times




Christmastime or not
One's luck
knows no season
when the well runs dry




The Estuary can be
a disorienting place







Fortunately
I left a trail of glass
to find my way home



Tech sector takes
San Francisco
to universal
chagrin










All the science fiction writers
the soothsayers
and bedraggled prophets
with signs that read
The End is Near
of course were correct


Apocalypse means
all at once
the Veil is lifted
the Secret is at last
revealed
