Political World

 

The Flaneur offers his oath to get back

to select vignettes reflected upon in repose

to conclude a week of hasty news-cam

 portmanteau

 In the East Bay libraries

Karl Marx retains a place of honor

I first read a book of his thought

borrowed from the Peoples' University

as the stone above the door read

Yet the plutocracy

worsens still

With their cigars and their bourbon

Their war-hen womenfolk

With their poverty rows

 Their master and servant routines

To what do the desperate resort?

 Brazen seizures of

public property

 

 Against the wall

 still roofless

What remains left to them?

 The police station

the courthouse

 and the jail

 Sunday

Extra-sexy David

Here comes this guy

It's like he knows 

he's bizarre

Every tomato season 

I think

 Heaven comes to earth

 Don't allow the Flag

to touch the chicken

The ride on Dad's shoulders

an archetype

I ate my standard marine lunch,

brandy and brisling sardines

pumpernickel  and almond butter

 at a table below that

fake light house structure

This was the view from there

San Francisco-Port of Oakland-Mt Tamalpais

Thought I'd follow the current

 A  12 bus took me from

 Jack London Square

 to the other end

of the bifurcated estuary

What's with all the people?

 Nice but what's your demand

to overturn the election?

I sang

 This Land is Your Land

Gob-smacked

Enjoy yourself
it's later than you think

 I didn't stand around

to hold hands

 

I had to keep a date

with some organic produce

Monday

 Olive Oyl and Sweet Pea

 Flying eye-ball building
sees all

Daunting entrances

on Alcatraz

Posh pub?

Actually the carrot a

an employment agency

No brew for me

it's a night of codeine

Tuesday, 

today

 Remember that bold encampment

of pioneers across from the high school?

 The City decided on

a passive aggressive response

 Washing them down

washing them away

Epilogue

That buff boy 

with the smart phone

sure was white
