Twelve Shots that Shook My World Today

(sort of)

Helicopters drove me from my aerie

to confront the alleged
real world

Well staged demo in progress

Miniscule crowds

don't show up on camera

Symbolic victims

doing the Abu Ghraib

Somethings going on 

behind the picket,

an anarchist cell

Taking down the flag

of the State of

California

Note chopper

Bye-bye, Oski,
see you soon

Oakland's police force

demonstrates its customary

restraint hold

 Our city's flag was already

 at half mast over 

the tragedy in Orlando

Or was it Cleveland?

As an old drunk on Amtrak

in Colorado once asked me,

Why do they have to protest 

at a time like this?

USA was invading Iraq

at the time 

Moments later
from the bus on Telegraph 

 Girls were happily

shopping for jewelry,

It goes to show,

 Life is what you make it

Center street 

Downtown Berkeley

 Huge heads 

of a couple of

American Poets
