October Round the Block











Hallowe'en's advance guard movement
lands in an west coast urban scene
with the promise of further
 tricks and treats



Hallowe'en display
for Chinese kids
at the Asian Library branch




 
 A thousand year egg
an ethereal ghost





Vaguery of
Chinese Art


The Travelers Hotel
comes to the end of the line,
A spooky squatter looked out
after I popped a few shots
 


Around toward City Center
Tribune of another era





 

 They're here
Inside a drugstore
the holiday spooks and sweets
have just arrived





The autumn comes
in a swirling dance
of skeletons
 Masque of Red Death
 danse macabre
doing the Hallowe'en waltz






 Tabloid celebrity Bat Boy
offers a line of capes
for boys and girls
of shorter stature







Black Cat in Bondage
costume for all ages




Psychedelic microdose jellies
good for the whole family





Maybe your daughter
 will show a talent
for reading crystal balls






And then comes the candy



Peeps are people!



I see dead Peeple






Out into the street again
Vintage postcard
Oakland City Hall




Ice chasm



A tall man crosses
A glass ceiling



Oakland
architectural fingerprint



On reflection

United States Postal Service
edifice

On reflection



Unusually tall couple

When I'm out with Wilt
I can wear my Manolos





Doorbell intercom



Identify thyself
to the sentient stone
insert
