Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Wonder how many how Biden Boroughs (homeless encampments) there are in the country?
John (“stay with me”) Jon remarked during his narrative, “This can’t go on.” Well, maybe it can.
What’s the alternative? Residential mental health facilities have long been shuttered. On a cost basis, perhaps this is less expensive. And just as an aside, I wonder what the vaxx percentage is among the borough inhabitants? And will they get kicked out if they don’t get the jabs?
I wonder if those Studies degrees include a course on how to make your domicile and surroundings ugly?
Imagine the vapors wafting off those dumps. Overwhelmed with shit, piss and jizz, rotted food, screaming hot temperatures. Biohazards galore.
Some observations:
1. I only saw two blue kibos for the mauve encampment, a normal size for the gents and a double-wide preferred by the ladies. Everybody knows that if you are running a populous outdoor event, you need a few double-wides and have to reserve them for women. Yeesh, there aren’t enough kibos for that many folks. Not cool.
2. Just like all the outdoor sporting gear companies that make production runs for the military folks down-low on the qt, somebody got a corrupt lucrative contract to make mauve tents at 3 times the standard rate. I don’t recognize the make and model.
3. Pikers. In other countries, the traffic island to the left of the encampment would be wall-to-wall shanties fully occupying all the bare dirt. People in other countries are hardier and more resourceful. Our people have to be given free tents.
4. It reminds me of when the Joads made it into the FedGov encampment after living rough when they first came to California: clean, orderly, so nice they thought they’d made it into heaven. I seem to remember that the fedgov encampment came with rules and enforcers. Do the people in pastelpurpleville think likewise? Does LA enforce behavior and cleanliness rules in the camps?
Come on, it’s not their faults, ninth circuit three member panel opined that the homeless can live where they choose, IF cities can not find/provide housing for them. Those fun loving kids, gotta go some place.
I suggested the upper one percenters hoods, got slapped down hard!

If the Federal Gubmint can ship illegals from TX all over the US, why shouldn’t states charter some busses and send homeless folks to CA? Give them $20 cash, can of ravioli, a 40 of eight ball and one way bus ticket to Hollywood. How could they resist?
