HERE
THERE
What was the use of my having come from Oakland
it was not natural to have come from there
yes write about if I like or anything if I like but not there,
there is no there there
Gertrude Stein
in Everybody's Autobioraphy, 1937
An Ambulation
in Oakland
on Mardi Gras
African-American Art Tour
Looking up at edifice & facade
on a walk uptown
A delivery of Clutter
to the comic book store
Speaks to a bygone way of life
I find an amenable bench
in Latham Square
Facing me a doleful mural
It sort of grew on me
I prefer primitive to slick
I tend to prefer crude to slick
The BettiOno Foundation
honoring deep-pockets Yoko Ono
and Betty-Davis funktress
& muse of Bitches Brew
recently deceased
Skeptical Youth
Warning
don't get it in your eye
You'll regret it
Paradox
of Androgyny
Almost home
Broadway and 10th
An outdoor gallery
nice but I miss the supermarket
that was there
Shrine to Betty Davis
"he was a big freak"
she sang of maybe Miles

Ash Wednesday
Give it up for Lent
Keep a clean nose
Blessings on Lou Reed
Famous Monster of Filmland
would have been 80 today

Strawberry Creek
Campus Tour
Stoned again
Just come from the Apothecarium
I'm not the only one enjoying
the moist greenery creekside
Not really a great torrent for early March
We are having some light rain today
oddly enough
Looking back
a difficult habit to break
Untrimmed
we glide back toward Nature
Study plant with an unusual flower
Irrepressible life
Redwoods gather by the river
Creeks speak
Minimal gardening will suffice
Ivy will climb the redwood
with infinite patience
regardless
Creek Alley
Looking back
All I see
astonishes me
Down the old oaken pathway
toward town
Physiology
is my major
With a minor in
Cultural Morphology
There was crow activity
but it didn't concern me
Swooped away before capture
Merrily
we welcome in the Spring
True to my
Lovecraftian roots
Brining it all back home
some nice HOUSEPLANT
from Berkeley
First Friday in Lent
First Station of the Cross
Made damn sure that Pilot
washed his hands and sealed is fate
The Bishop's Seat
facing a throne of my own
Here I am
I always am
Making the scene
as one must
Crucifix in Antiquity
XP
marks the spot
Center aisle to the altar
Holy Water Closet
RAY among The Most High
Each is given his path
In the Book of Rules
Outside the Cathedral
a multitude of gulls
park on the waters of a gusty day
