The Obso King rides his bike - I forget the bike’s name but the bike has a name - around Oakland streets and endeavors to see something he’s never seen before. And it happens! Like magic, material falls from the sky and hits him over the head - and rises from the sewers - and then he heads to his apartment. He’s learned about his boy Floyd, an alcoholic with no teeth, These Seeings take places mostly on the corner of Broadway and 40th Street, near the liquor store and bus stop bench. Walk for 15 minutes toward downtown and you’ll seethe Paramount Theater. Oh yeah, Piedmont split away from Oakland, because they white and rich and emerged victorious after Proposition 13. Taking care of their own, but, um, taking care of their own.
