Midnight Walk in Another Direction

Into the mysterioso, the Flaneur ventures into Chinatown after midnight to get not only darkness but some elusive calmness as well in his imagined image captures.

 "Legendary" I think it's also called the "Forbidden Palace"

They always use that hype

Then you get in and see why it should be called forbidden

stir-fried water bugs in black bean sauce

 Tunnel to Alameda

Lone figures were wrapped in sleeping bags

A pow-wow of the displaced took place nearby

The Lord is my savior and I bless these men

The Foreboding Pagoda

Happily there were no lights on this at night
A strange location and a odd presence

Tunnel from Alameda

Continual traffic here most of the time

Unidentified particulate mist becomes evident

 This building over the tunnel is named

The Portal of Oakland

Abandon all hope, ye all

Post urban warnings

For all you hazardous needs

in our American way of life c.2015

The constabulary facade stares back

Theatrical lighting

Our benevolent protectors

Pink neon on voodoo semiotics

Tattoo parlor after hours

You can't ink ghosts
