Look at photos. Read legal documents, poems, diaries, interviews, security-log excerpts
collected from America globalizing. “Stunning words and heartfelt photography.”

Ten years ago tomorrow was maybe. Now is here and gifting ‘unaffordable humanity’ is a ‘successful catastrophe.’ “It was impossible,” Jon Boy told me, “but we did it.” Dean adds, “for me, success isn’t money, it’s being able to make spontaneous, anonymous gifts.”
Buy a Senator
own a banker,
coopt justice,
flex corporate muscle,
outsource, downsize,
stress and squeeze for investor greed.
Bankruptcy, foreclosure,
grab the gold.
“More than my share IS my share.”
Trickle-down American crumbs
for the endangered middle-class.
Struggle ‘just hanging on.’
One catastrophe away
from standing in lines,
working dumpsters,
family in shelter, alley, tent, or cardboard,
wife peeing behind bushes.
“Enough is enough.”
