Curiosities along
7th, 8th, and 9th streets
my vicinity and environs
1.
in Chinatown library
Asian-theme branch
embracing immigration to
North American
Primitive humans landed in San Diego
130,000 years ago
everyone else is a newcomer
Mesoamerican
Levantine
goes on
at the Friday Famer's Market
I see a lot of Crayola hair
these days
but her hair was perfect
Today's an exhilarating
day in Spring
after so much chilly rain
Remembering David
a year later
Ziggy went to
Sleepy Mountain
Vapor trails go by,
there's no one driving
Decorative objets d'arte
offered on Broadway sidewalk
2.
Along the seismic seam between
Old Oakland, Chinatown
and the West Oakland Police State
This emporium is a mere block
away from where I live
I buy stoneware plates there
replacements for the ones I break
By the time I took this shot
the young counter-guy squawked
It was just a diversion though
I really wanted to get a image
of their security camera matrix
Last time I was in, the guy was staring
at the empty store as if social media
Without a doubt
there are some lost souls
hereabouts
3.
Shall we go outside?
After dark?
This is the entrance to the courthouse
populated by overnight guests
who are in fact free to go
elsewhere
4.
The old martial drumbeat
is back in style,
Sadly I didn't claim this free LP
despite it's preservation
would have encumbered me as
I walked the paradoxical streets
April 2017
