Sustenance
Hunger
drove me to
seek sustenance
at Safeway. Desperately I searched
for food without fillers not born in a lab
for food without pesticide tainting its skin
for food without chemical colors mixed in
for food not injected, infected or foul
for food not obtained through abuse of the wild
When suddenly from deep inside my soul
a deafening tone rose and took control
my body shook as i scremaed and yelled
that the food in the store was not fit to sell

Unhoused, poverty skolaz living in vehicles and on the streets in the stolen Ohlone/Lisjan land colonizers call Berkeley face constant harassment (like they do pretty much everywhere) -but in Berkeley,its not so much from one entity, poltrickster or community, but from all of them and mostly from "Nimbyism" (Not in my backyard), fueled by the omnipresent, anti-poor people hate that exists everywhere in colonized Turtle Island.
Cooking in Your Car- Bay Area Homelessness in 2018 and the rise of the Unhoused Middle Class
Salt, grease and fried meat filled the air. with just hint of burnt sugar thrown in. My mind wandered to breakfasts past sizzling in a greasy diner. The only thing was, i was on my bike, riding past an empty lot in East Oakland at 6:30am. No houses or restaurants were remotely close. And then i saw the smoke,and heard the sizzle. It was coming from one of a long line of late model Subarus, Hondas, BMW’s, Acura sedans, and even a Mercedes, no car older than 2015, parked along this hidden street.
