Aleatory Sunday in Lent

Is that a leg

you might eat?

Color blast

I live for them

Sunday morning walk

down along the usual

Sidewalk dry garden

I visit every week

there's a place to rest

and sort out

the Sunday papers

The first crush

of irrepressible

Spring

Empowering

flowering vines

overtake

the chain links

Shoot up in suggestion

of heavenly praise

Notice I'm not in church

heretically

I prefer 5 o'clock Mass

on weekdays

But all is holy

wherever I be

Gothic rock bottom

sequence

Diggity

Here comes

Peter Rottentail

The whole crew

in need of more attention

back at you

in need of more

shocking entertainment

Imagine if he was

your son

Lacerated poster

evidence of wings

Erstwhile

Mexican Wrestler

Lacerated poster

showing shiny

happy people

Transformational

Her face is as soulful

as her voice

2.

Around to Berkeley

Southside of Shattuck

Homeless Action Center

and the Long Haul

helping those who struggle

do you? please do

Accidental selfie's

are cool

Over the top

La Pena mural

with opened door

Trending: Eire

see you there

Glorious Iris

Another tawdry venue

Art House

Sequence of a help pig

at the cannabis dispensary

Back on the bus home

Hella

Oakland claims to have

 invented the word

Outside the abode

people park their

frightful vehicles

This one seems

particularly

nightmarish

PROJECT X O and Etc.

Sunday the first of October

Art installation and

graphic considerations

 along Washington Street

This one is a green tea-bagger

Nice refraction

The calendar in inexorable

but mild daylight prevails

In situ

re-refracted

in the detritus

of a former XO vessel

I left the bulky tea bag in

so no one would assume

it was pee,

just healthy green tea

Down at the Port

the Ferry gleams

as it steams toward

San Francisco

Some palaver on the water

advice to a rafter

not a rescue

Something ineffably

buoyant in the bustle

come October

The afternoon take a macabre turn

On the menu

at the fear factory

Fear of the young

New Wave sidewalk

Two-tone

food wrapper

At Oakland Metro

Opera House

The gruesome posters

have evaporated

into the matte black gloom

A last two

include last night,

I've been under the ice

but I found my way out

And one huge poster

for HOODSLAM

Because this is where

the wild things go

The bestial

Yikes

The feral

Venomous times

Loud-mouths

and masochists

of every sort

Back to Washington

Strangeness

This is all new

lapels, a skirt and hairy legs

Open to interpretation

Nice lines anyway

pleasant new optics

for my strolls past

Between thought

and expression

Unauthorized street art

prevails

and in fact rules

Taggers gonna tag

Hmmm,

something planned for the parking lot

next to the XO location

Development never sleeps

when there's the smell of napalm

or capital returns

in the air

Green Tea XO

in place

now in the shade 

an hour or so lady

Drink me

The day capitulates

The Sinister

Ministry

Sex traffic of the underage

is  hideous and seriously criminal,

We pay police a good salary

to fight such depravity,

But Oakland cops used their

punitive authority

over a young girl

to share her among police departments

Including Richmond cops,

Contra Costa county cops,

a soon-to-retire-cop in Alameda,

Then an Oakland cop committed suicide

 after the suspicious death of his wife,

He turned the girl out originally

and exposed the cop sex ring

in a suicide note,

Higher up cops interrogated the girl

blamed her for the suicide

and browbeat and threatened her as

 she destroyed evidence

on her smart phone in front of them,

The chief resigned

the prom queen mayor

 called it all as "frat-house behavior"

The hired "angry school principal" type 

who employed the Trump tactic of acting

 offended and angry at legit press questions,

She promoted the wicked bastard cops

instead of any punishment anywhere,

No they will have long long

retirements at even higher grade pensions

How ficking noir
