a stolen park is not home.

I am America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be mine. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to occupy, there are more bridges to be burned. America is not the project of any one oligarch. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘I.’ ‘I The Man.’ ‘I Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes I Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to expand this great renegade nation of ours.

 thas alright, dog'll always find a place to go.

 welcome to my nightmare. the obamachron.

 as the habitat shrinks, the endangered ones disappear, and the collective trauma grows.

 hope to action, or, the aesthetics of catastrophe.

 our kestrel's back. i'll get a fresh picture soon. i can't get to the fire escape while the workers are rebuilding the kitchen. i hope they are not disturbed by the ruckus and will find peace enough to nest with us again.
