Isn't it illegal to camp in the streets? Our ideals to peep,
broad silence beyond. Isn't illegal to camp in the streets?
To occupy our enemy's yard.
To voice opposition to,
steadfast towards oppression,
without aggression, preaching love;
isn't it illegal to camp in the streets, seeking truth?
Then why is it that people camped in the streets this Friday?
How could they?
And without apprehension,
without repercussion,
just camping there.
*ON PRIVATE PROPERTY*
No condemnation from the mayor,
no accusations of sanitation
no notice of evacuation.
Nothing, nada, no one cared...
no police anywhere.
Just blissful tents,
rippling in the Autumn wind.
Just fires crackling,
crock pots simmering,
miniature TVs a buzz with muttering...
The sounds of hand on plexiglas reverberating...
the anticipation resonating,
the rain, snow, sleet and gale
the crowds converged for empty sales.
But is it safe now to return?
To Zucotti park,
to tell the world
...that we're still here and angry.
Is it safe to camp with a purpose again?
Or is it all simply a sign of hypocrisy
and shallow capitalism?
Sunlight scarce, o' rainbow dove
I flutter wings a fifty five
just to see your weight up high
a snug,
in the clouds.
What parsing eyes, do thee enchant
a hue o' fifty fire ants
give or take a grand,
I wad my sense of wealth in color,
white is far too bland.
Someone spilled a sup of blue
a soup fit for three-hundert two,
if only it were true
that we could fill ourselves with color.
Someone see that bird up there,
whose rain arch bellows rainbow wings
and colors sing,
where there ain't no thing as hunger,
fill my stomach full of color,
my friend and brother
my sister, mother
grab my wing...
I'll take you to the play,
you needn't ever pay
...for a cup of love.
I was traumatized,
that wallstreet crowd in their oafish tents like trolls
looking hippy-ish in the bright noon sun
smokin totes with anecdotes and I hate them all.
I'm officer Woodbehave,
...And I march where I'm told.
I was traumatized,
that wallstreet crowd with their oafish tents like trolls,
with their megaphones a shouting slurs in my ear
interrupting Glenn Beck feel
as I'm beating them coloreds down,
that's why I transferred down
to midway.
They almost lost me my badge with them hokie dokie
freedom stands and them hard to pronounce words
tempting them jury courts with talk of civil rights.
What about my rights?
To beat them coloreds on the mdway.
Look at those tents littering the streets,
probably filled with hippie trash.
Look at them...
I've a meaning to bust them one....
--And so officer Woodbehave did just that.
He along with his billy club *Nancy* in hand and tazer, *Walt*
(I think they're married)
rushed in cold to the nearest tent and tore it down.
A series of thrashes, a flurry of kicks,
the bitter wind obscuring the screams,
a string of obscenities, a racial slur to boot...
and that tent came tumbling down.
Only after the feat of rage had ended,
did the officer realize that he was in a crowd,
in front of a store and dripping blood from his hands.
He had assaulted a Black Friday camper
...and didn't have an excuse to belay the verdict any longer.
We come to it again, o' ladies and gentlemen, o' friends,
we come to give our thanks to the cloven hoof and pitchfork men,
who in there armani wisdom, have brought us many things.
Such as, violence. Israeli/Gaza *to be precise* violence and those armani wearing pitchforks relish in it as they masturbate to the sounds of children's deaths. Happy Hanukkah, they yell as the phallus bombs come crashing and the fields engulfed in flames.
Happy Thanksgiving, Palestinians.
O' and we mustn't forget the needy, o' ladies and gentlemen, o' friends; we mustn't forget the poor forgotten souls, gifted cold,
by cloven hoof and pitchfork men, we mustn't forget about them.
But we do, and as you relish over your burnt dead bird, with mashed potatoes, and that bit of drool seeps from your necrophiliac lips as you give it all a sumptuous kiss, pay no mind to the hooded figure in your window, drooling in kind. Don't call the cops, he's only hungry.
Happy Thanksgiving to the hungry.
...And spare some crumbs, ladies and gentlemen, o' friends. Spare some crumbs for the birds. They're sticking around this November.
It's rather warm, and they won't be flying south anytime soon.
Spare them some crumbs for I doubt they'll find any worms.
Happy Thanksgiving birds.
The plethora of gifts we're given, o' ladies and gentlemen, o' friends.
Such gifts without an end. We come to say our thanks this year to the cloven hoof and pitchfork men, who gift us generously in their armani wisdom.
I just wish they gifted equally.
To us, the merry masses pass the gifts of death and ill. Violence and struggle with a racist joke thrown in for fun. And the gifts are never ending like diarrhea at a bean festival.
...But the gifts they give themselves, those cloven hoof and pitchfork men, in their armani wisdom are so far different.
They give themselves rocks, plastic and paper. Food and clothing.
...And health care.
Happy Thanksgiving, merry masses.
Underwater lurks a dream,
in effervescence conjured wish
in perpetude and dreaming,
hold this kiss
in grasp
as we flounder in the deep forgotten water.
I don't pretend to be your friend,
but this heart, I would extend
just to see your smile return
in the wake of this new world,
this world you never wanted
afflicted,
...nor do I.
Some winters never come, till summoned.
Left to breeze in wafting hues,
November blue
...and the snow devoid of cold,
like coal,
like ashes,
like the burning toxic marshes
all dissolve
into the warmest winter on earth.
Forsaken voice cast out in vain,
where heard there is no echo,
no vibration,
ripples void within the clock
the walls are still
and pleas ignored.
...Voice forsaken cast in vain,
cause no one is listening
and no one is looking
outside their own greed;
their senses rot.
