I dreamed my young homeless friends
were squatting a FEMA camp
making it no longer a prison
but a decent place to live
sharing their food and dreams
as they do in the alleys and streets
humanizing this mean land
a young soldier outside its walls
looked longingly in
at this future built in hell
by our new arising ones
