Berkeley Balance
Born in Berkeley, California
a product of the wild 70’s
just a lost white brother
hanging about
downtown
brothers
can you hang about
listen to me lover
wildness left from the 60’des
want to fly away from California
brothers
leave the 60’s
ride away my lover
can you dig that without a doubt
born in Berkeley, California
based on writers.com balance poetry form prompt. also written as a postcard fragment from Berkeley Bob to a friend expressing his desire to leave Berkeley to travel someday
PS I grew up in Berkeley in the late 60's 70s graduated from BHS in 1974 so I can relate to this poem. in a sense, I never left or rather I travel the world but Berkeley lives on in my Soul
