He slings through trash
On every block
He only finds refuse
No food
I watch him
From the other sidewalk
As he rows down the concrete
Looking as if he’s Kerouac
Scanning for fires
From the Dharma mountain
Arms swing free
He’s being noticed
By someone today
He smiles
Waves from the other side

America Cannot Afford This Dangerous Step

Americans should be chilled at government's recent designation of “Antifa” as a domestic terrorist organization (it isn't an organization). This allows for the criminalization of broad swaths of dissent, and won't stop with "Antifa."

America is Divided—But it’s the Wrong Divide
