Ha ha ha
The Cubs and Trump
who would have thunk?
Here are some scenes from this mad ass scene
Morning at the Berkeley
Post Office
Mail Art Election business
Check out the gay cabellero
Let's see,
an outrageous
reality-TV rich psychopath
or an old bag of potatoes
Very tall woman
on BART escalator
Bit of sky-scraper herself
let's not ponder
her birth-gender
Atrocious new mural
on the atrocious drive-way
of an atrocious convention center
Sunset held portent
Ancient future
hieroglyphic mankind
diagram
Cozy pad upstairs
in the Swam marketplace
Lights
when it gets dark early
The neon ghost
of a barber pole
Another of hell's
many entrances
A place of metallic sharks
Giant zika mosquitas
Regrettable things
that fell from space
Passengers, prisoners, lunch
a slippery slope
Relentless stinging insects
that can melt glass
The indifferent gulfs
of deep space
More plastic than fish
in the churning rising sea
Side-show side effects
one of us one of us
the coming of the Morlocks
Written in the spheres
always there to be decoded
Business as usual
behind the fig leaf
of normalcy
Order is temporary
chaos is the default state
Light bulbs of my thoughts
show me the way to go home
You can join in
the strained mirth
the strained mirth
Or withdraw into your room
no one will miss you
November 8
Election Day
Black Repertory Theater
entrance tiles
Today a voting place
DANG!
is a word I admit
I sometimes use
Angel-centered book
incense crystal
candle figurine etc shop
Groove restoration
Your angel steps out
of heaven each night
These jack-o-lanterns
stay lit all year long
The graffiti obliterators
spare them
Right near
the Gertrude Stein-obliterating
THERE / HERE
Kind of a misfire really
it annoyed people,
Its intention whatever it was
is generally misunderstood
Watch out, feral girl
we're apparently
going to build a wall
Dramatic high noon
but it's actually 11 AM
The demi-sleep
of a dental appointment
Very shortly
one bus ride later
a freight train approaches
an Amtrak goes away
with Lion King advert
something new
an Amtrak goes away
with Lion King advert
something new
A peaceful recovery
the novocaine wears off
with a little herb and brandy
Went home for supper
brown rice tofu and vegetables
then a nap before coming back
for my rendezvous
with my aforementioned mentor
Doctor Strange
The goatee the cloak the gray streak
the Greenwich Village pad
the Tibetan Book of the Dead
endless fungible dimentionality
where I'm came from
November 9
Aftermath
2 AM
Police cars hold off a march
at 8th street
short of headquarters
and freeway ramps
Helicopters patrolled thinly
I went to a late show of Doctor Strange
The radio said the GOP had won
the White House and congress
As I shut my lamp
to go to sleep at 2AM
to go to sleep at 2AM
a penetrating blue beam
hit the wall above my bed
a particularly vivid mental flash
I sat in my open window
and listened to the chanting,
quite well performed and rolling
women's voices were heard
protesting the outcome
of a presidential as
free and fair as can be expected
The Clintons may have been an unstoppable force
among Democrats and on Wall Street
but voters just said no,
They had eight years in the White House
who would want them back
older even more corrupt and smug
She had her run at the office
and if she wasn't delusional
even she should have seen
her own lack of appeal
Guess Natanyahu won't be getting that
invitation from the next president
first day in the ovoid office
as Hillary had boasted to AIPAC
as Hillary had boasted to AIPAC
BART collected my fare
without any warning
discontinued stops in downtown
Berkeley due to a high school protest
They ditch school and declare
a holiday to protest
a democratic system
and um,
cause black lives matter
I had heard on the radio
but came to town regardless
and now I'm walking a bit
That's the wall
life splatters
I am applying game theory
determined not to succumb
to the giant sucking sound
Traffic overruns
the mountains
and the seas
I have got to maintain
my all-seeing eye
into the mystical depths
Of a moist green garden
toward the closing of the year
Running crowds of students
in the middle of downtown street
turning up toward campus
where the real fun begins
free of teachers free of tests
Down at BART
Protesters fly the upside-down flag
In honor of the defeated
War hawk candidate
7-9 November 2016
