Poem: The Night She Was Born

The Night She Was Born
by Jack Brummet

It was as quiet as a painting in Berkeley,
driving at three a.m. on Telegraph Avenue
toward Oakland, and the delivery room.
I saw a new moon hung on our old sky.
We watched the monitor and waited.
When her robber-stockinged face came down,
one bleat to the rafters started us all breathing again.

Occupy Wall Street Photos from last week - Part 1

By Jack Brummet, Uprisings Editor

I spent a couple of hours last week downtown at Zuccotti Park/Occupy Wall Street.  It was fascinating--particularly the hundreds of mainstream, sidestream, and downstream media there attempting to come up with a story, or some unique angle on a story. . .

Strange Scene On The Highline

By Jack Brummet, NYC Metro Editor

We saw this trio when Keelin and I were walking along The Highline in NYC last Monday.  I was a little hesitant about snapping a picture. . .it was hard to tell if this was some sort of tender private moment, or a performance.  I went with performance.  The man on the right is holding a bald baby doll with baby blue sunglasses, dressed identically to both of the men.  On the front cover of the three ring binder from which he seemed to be reading to the doll is the legend "Digby 1990-1992."  We can just all fill in the rest of the story.
