On the sign:
THE WORLD

My ears (shaped just like his)
echo too loudly, everything too
much, turtle, without my shell.
I am a gong that has been
unstruck. Still reverberating
from what is taken away, and
never was. A thousand sharp
leaves press against the window,
that tide, the clank of my spoon
against the blue china mug,

it doesn’t take much
to make music.

-Alice Jones

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The current sign features a poem by the American poet, physician and psychoanalyst Alice Jones who works in the city of Berkeley.
