Black Friday: Window-Shopping Only
















You're just window-shopping
you're never stopping to buy

Buy Nothing Day
I went South
to see what
there was to see
behind the looking glass

Alameda offered as ever
a journey to the past
in the now


Relax
whenever in doubt
keep your card
in your wallet



For what ails you



This is sexy town

Shrine to a tragic
Goddess

Frosty?
Fancy meeting you here






That's right...
Santy Claus is a-coming
to dog town

Whenever Frosty
thinks of Marilyn





his nose gets longer





Beginning to look
a lot like
Xmas




Everyday melodrama
the lost dog


Wow
$2,500 for Millie
I'll keep an open eye


Maybe eaten by a shark


The world after all
is mostly ocean



With it's own style
of holiday
festive decorations

The gang's all here








Grouchy curmudgeon fish
know the score



It's all about eat
and be eaten

And yea
though RAY walks
through the jaws of death
he fears no evil

Ohlone woman


Previous populations
of Alameda






Something happ'nin
Captain?
You just sailed in
to the Twilight Zone


Said to be haunted
by coastal ghosts




Could use a skate sandwich
about now





Coots a plenty,
I informed a holiday family
of its nomenclature,

From it we get "an old coot"
a phrase that might be used
to describe
someone like myself








The pecking order
all familiar faces


High tide and end of the year
abundance of food


Mineralism revisited
an enjambment
 

In the rocks
there are...






hidden colors



Graphic plant
turns monochrome


While many can hang
I must migrate soon



Eternity is
ever nearby


Through the thicket
of thought


Wow Millie has doubled
in value against
time and loss



Hey now


Gorilla Glue?
I smoke it all the time




This being the USA
of California
I am free to do so


Now he already looks 
several sails to the wind


On strong brew


I'd join him
but I hear
another siren


Always a seagull on the roof
in Alameda



Thanksgiving
the actual nightmare
 before Xmas


Eventually they'll
add the rest of the holidays



Under the tarot-fied
Xmas tree

Grumpy Cat menorah


You didn't even know
he was Jwish


Yikes


Only the Pinball Museum


Harlequins, wild dames,
Noirish clowns
they go way back

Having yet another




The groovy scuba shop


Candy-colored wet suits
My brother had one
I put it on once and
hated the sausage feeling
If I had one now though
I would swim at
frigid SF Aquatic Park



Especially if I had
my booties on

So if you're wondering
what to get me


Fetching Frankie plate


Some Glue perhaps?

Always a pleasure
an euphoria even


So long Norma Jean

Right about now
I could certainly use


A nice new
bat pillow





One sleepy cat
am I

The sunset was acqueous
almost submarine








I dreamt about
travelling through
a sand worm hole








Sleep
 with the fishes
