Some people can’t take it. They get ripped apart.

WHEN THE WAR’S OVER

Where will we sleep? Where will we go?

You took our blocks, our streets and our stores.

They were ours before you moved in.

Before you sat down at our corner-cafe and started complaining.

Why stay in SF if you don’t even like it? It’s beautiful, yes, everyone knows that.

But you need a better reason to stay.

If you have nothing to give, then please go away.

Hard to imagine the way San Francisco used to be,

Before it got diluted by your company emblem, emblem on everything.

On everything its strange entitlement.

Like a virus that won’t un-stick.

"Oh, my God. He smells so bad. The homeless in San Francisco--I mean--"

The term is actually temporarily displaced.

March 2020. Shelter in Place.

COVID-19 moved into our bodies and our real estate.

Stay home orders. But where do we go?

You live in our house. We don’t own it anymore.

Swipe: instacart, postmates and zoom.

You order in everything-anything you want.
