Filings / Refraction Study


















(in progress)







I employ the God particle
to repair the fabric
of the time and space
 continuum



I'm tired of being
a frugal poodle
Kerouac was watching
the Frugal  Gourmet
TV show when he died
of many Kerouac fans
I have met
most never ventured anywhere
outside their respective
comfort zones


The assholes will
 inherit the earth
apparently



Impression of Ancient
Organisms

My thoughts sink
to where I'm walking
on the fossilized bottom

Near what is now  Brazil
where the slave multitudes
were landed

Eons later it's Portugal Cove
Mistaken Point
surgical slippers

Over soft blue ashen stone
daisies stars orange segments
simplest forms writ large

Half a billion years into sea
Ediacaran Pompeii
Newfoundland style so dim







Labrador just before
the Cambian explosion
Coastal barrens

The edge of Avalon
self-similar modular patterns
oldest animal muscular motion


I asked the clouds
for a new assortment of thoughts
the old ones have
lost their edge
too round too liquid
too much quicksand



Full Moon

climbing over eighth street
dangerous moon of July
sexy young buy booze


Alien orange
go back out and gaze at it
I don't trust my luck


Minor algae bloom
bronze dragonflies are fucking
on the mucky muck

Having the Craic in July







Everybody's happy nowadays







Salvage attempts
The last nostalgic captures
from the trusty old phone cam
re-captured on a cracked screen









My old blackberry spot







A bottle of THC soda
that the Lord gave me

German tour bus
parked at the Port








Lady at Figment
an arts fair in
 Mosswood Park








Oakland misses Prince
let's go crazy
y'all








One more
evil automobile










America
 has a ghoul-haunted
history





Got to return and
try to get this again





I only wanted to see you
sometime in that
Purple Rain

The hummers of summer
beat the bummers of summer






Maybe I can really salvage these
and many other interesting shots
in better shape otherwise adieu
to several hundred captures

Going to the Dyke March
in San Francisco
with copious flowers
in their hair


Nightmarish
horse-morphic vehicle
at Figment Arts Festival

 

A  grim fairytale
coach


She was sweet and warm
like everyone's favorite
high school art teacher

PROJECT XO: 4th of July









It was to be the grand finale of Project XO
The Boston Pops with fireworks,

Then the phone stopped sending files,
Finally, yesterday, the day I got a new
better, more confusing smart phone
I dropped the old camera phone and broke the screen
Here are then are salvage attempts








The white is ice






A reenactment


of my window scene

The Lights Are Much Brighter There



















Downtown Oaktown
a fabulous spectacle
through the ages


Coming in for a landing
in Space city




A nice interlude
including a bike


Danger Man



Ask not


Interstices
multiply



From SWAN'S
to FAIRYLAND
my range


Palimpsest wall
in trendy shop



Prehistoric graffiti wall
in back of 8th Street



Way out West



A wine bar
amidst the mayhem




SO
OAKLAND




Dark City



Ciudad
de los Muertos












Christmas comes to the jail
(Solstice actually)
the sun lines up



Crumbling heights
of City Hall






Lots of elephants
have to call it home




Can't you hear me knockin'?



Belle époque
8th Street


Image capture
Slaughter on 10th


Smart and final
morning






Oakland
symbolizes
itself







More light-Goethe
Less lighting- RAY






Winter 2016-17
