It was a small tree in the corner of a piece of partial nature only allowed to be there because it was the landscaped frame for a PGE processing plant ,,proving that poor people like us are not important unless we are sponsored by a corporation....

You came to me that night in a yellow plastic bag surrounded by yellow police tape ......
the kind of police tape you would have used to throw at a cop who harassed homeless people -
the kind of cop who would hand out quality of life infractions ,
the kind of quality of life infractions that would get you a warrant ,
the kind of warrant that would land you in court ..the kind of court that you would fight ...
..the kind of fight that would land you in jail ............the kind of jail that would manufacture the yellow
tape that you would BREAK OUT OF ..
.for,,,EVER and ever and ever ..................
