Neo-Berkeley Today

Bishop and scholar
Berkeley Public Library

Nylon stockings

with dollar signs

Michael Jackson and ET

one supposes

Uh oh

cop scene on Alcatraz

Business as usual
five squad cars

Where was this place

 when there was

risk involved in pioneering

dispensing medical marijuana?

Now these out-of-towners

want to use their capital

to tilt the local playing field

Telegraph Ave

an innocent passer-by

America Denim

where is your denim made?

Girls of Berkeley

Foreheads forward

into the breeze 

of change

They don't let you forget

it's an election season

These sudden flowers 

 I've already forgotten 

this summer color

This is the all time

choice between two stinkers

Never have I disliked

both candidates as profoundly

The flora of Berkeley,

can't buy the thrill

An old cat on the bus

started out in Chicago,

Didn't go to blues bars

implied it was dangerous
