icons of our current tomorrow. happened upon / on the daily / walk / here in berkeley / this / icon / of our current american tomorrow sewn patches, gifted to me by a true friend. a true comrade from those occupy daze on the lawn at city hall. i’d sewn them all on to my now well-worn satchel – stitched on the front with an equality flag, i’d bought at my first pride after my flight to the Bay…

stories on demand - jack be nimble, livestreams from the spring.
twas to have been my third saturday in front of the library, my hope was to catch a few of the farmer’s market crowd. on that fine saturday morn, however, when i arrived i was distressed to discover on one of the tables out front human excrement – an occurrence not unheard of in downtown berkeley. my inclination was to take the sign from the universe, cut my losses, try again somewhere else on…

second stop.
it might have been the way the triangle’s tucked back from the walkway across telegraph avenue. it might have been that i’d been feeling just a little bit shy, a little bit wary my first two times out, not knowing what or who to expect. it might have been the time of day that i parked up every week, it’d be on the third that the magic came in that first special someone who asked me to write my…

People’s park has been condemned to death the berkeley way of sorrows – station one the berkeley wall is what surrounds the park now. constructed overnight by the university with students out of town for their winter holiday, a familiar tactic given the touchiness of us activist types. uc berkeley took…
