Landlessness/Houselessness
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.

Un Poema Para Luis-A Poem for Luis
(Español debajo)
The Streets have so many colors
the colors have so many memories
memories of streets you are no longer on-
but wish you could be
The color of people who are no longer there
who we wish we could see
because they were removed by people who were scared
of what they could not contain, incarcerate or bear
19th & shotwell are two of those streets
who meet inside of so much grief
