last day

Today I went to the beach,  bit of a head ache due to bad management of vodka orange. I was supposed to meet some other poets at City Light but my day has been too tiring.  I stupidly assumed that you could find food near the beach.  So between 11 am and 7 pm I didn't eat,  and I swam. Just once. Of course I got pestered. Find it quite difficult to quite relax. Got pestered yesterday too. Hm... 

I had a Hitchcock moment of course,  being near the bridge... Vertigo. It was a bit of a trek going there and I had to trespass but it had to be done! And I got some help from an inner city kid from LA. Very happy about that. Meeting young hyppies on the beach was fun too.

Meeting another photograph this afternoon.  We will to to the Mission for a walk.  Should be nice. Will try now to go to a museum of native Indian art if there is one.  Then, if I find the time,  back to Oakland for the museum there.
Intrigued (and horrified) at the difference in fees from one university to another. Stanford,  Harvard. Do they make you pay the price so that you think you're at Oxford or Cambridge? (and we are already so expensive I think! )

Above

Above politeness
Above good and evil
In your bubble limousines
You surf the streets
Surf the streets
Collecting
Us in apps for sale.
Drink, oh drink babe,
NSA is good for you!

Vu dans le métro

Art

if you love

If you love stones more than people
Building on sand you don't see
If you love your car so much
You won't stop at the stop sign
For the passer-by that I am
If you think saying it's lovely
All the time will stop you
From feeling like shit
If you're afraid of leaving
Your stuff on the sea side
While you go swimming
And off in rented gear you go
Into the sea into the sea
And told me later you did 3 miles whatever
The sea, the sea, that really tried her best
To kill me #fail
I am ready.
And here I am,
The day after,
Walking on art, crying
It's an earth quake really
You won't see it you won't feel it
But an old lady, second name Elizabeth,
Took me for a tour. Thank you.
