Berkeley Multiverse

Miles in the sky

 I dig this one

it's really far-out

Nosing around town, 

it's what a Flaneur does

 Racist effacement

White man can't represent in Oakland

Evidence that, like Soylent Green,

 that dreadful word

"gentrification"

Means "white people"

 Escalator down 

to BART station
We're going to Berkeley

 Guy on BART train with bouquet

Berkeley welcomes flower folk

Dakini fantasy:

Eye feet and breasts

That reach forever

 for the moon

Veils of Islamic art 

 Black Calavera,
Nice one indeed

Majoun dream 

of Fez Morocco

The Family of Man

 Cinderella walks on the wild side

 Poster for the legendary 

Blackhawk engagement 1957

The double LP a lifetime favorite

I think there was an eventual box-set

With hours and hours of this gig

 Celtic medicine:

Lie in sunshine

in deep green grass,

 never become wrinkled

 

 My skater wallet

Found brand-new on my doorstep

on Bancroft way ten years ago

 Really crazy quilt

A display of miniatures

at Berkeley Public library

 And so back to the city of Oakland

 

Prince was in town this weekend

Solo in the vast oracle coliseum

playing a grand piano

 Into the pastel skies

of my evening

 Southeastern sky

Over gloomy Chinatown

chanterelles

By air water and light 

 Transfixed
