recently,the APD realized that OCCUPY AUSTIN included homeless-
this annoyed them,as it did that front page STATESMAN journalist
who was put off by the food sharing and unhygenic conditions
(no wonder the middle class resist evolutions)
Austin beggars are our beggars-they are us-
one paycheck separates /one layoff/one divorce
Stress and pressures are physical,spiritual,psychic on these heated streets
and the APD generally arrest ,harass and demean the vulnerable
when they could just let them be-or feed and shelter them
with more than a jail cell and baloney sandwich
The gentleness and sharing of our lost and lonely is legendary-
when violence erupts(it is anomalous)-it surprises all of us
Territoriality is a class structure in every class(and dropouts echo us
Listen!Change is here,and camping in our City Squares
99% of us include homeless,lost,lonely,people
who may not respect arbitrary limits upon their freedom to meet
Curfews and permits and regulations are subject to change
You are change.We are being changed as we exchange
conversations like food and drink and blankets
Occupy your mind with this.You are part of the 99%
