Remember,
Life is as close to Hell
as you can be
until you get there
Beer with citrus in it
Non pour moi
Faux-hawk brew
We're still getting
wee showers of rain
keeping it green
Portrait of a bongo drum
Sausage sellers
in Swan's market
rock this neon sign

Wednesday
Rolling mind
Into the park
Children take to the trees
as if by instinct
Profound colors of poppies
some almost black,
I fight the nod
To proceed
Deep into the garden
To spend a quite hour
by a waterfall
Look who just flew in
A gorgeous
Blue Night Heron
He stayed quite a while
drinking in the shade
Then flew up over the pond
See him over the green bush
to the left of the falls
There he goes
over the papyrus
There he goes
There he went
Such tender colors
I could linger in rhapsody
Yet the clock says it's time to go
Football, Coke, cars and trucks,
Religion and business
await

Thursday
Cinco de Mayo
Celebration on Center street
At Berkeley City College
Dancing in the street
Some free or cheap eats
Music and smiles
to chase away the clouds
We're international, baby
Coke truck in front
of Berkeley Library,
Mexican Coke is better
with sugar not corn syrup
3-5 May 2016
