21 JULY ON THE TRAIL OF OREGON

IT’S THE WILD WEST

BUT NOT AS WE’VE KNOWN IT 

PARAMILITARIES PICK UP PORTLAND’S PROTESTORS

BUNDLING THEM IN TO UNMARKED VANS  

NO FORMAL ARREST  RELEASED AT RANDOM   

WHAT MOTIVATES THESE ENLISTED MEN?

ARE THEY IN CAMOUFLAGE ’COS IT COVERS THEIR LOYALTIES?

POLITICALFANATICALIDEOLOGICAL   

OR ONLY PLAYING A GAME CALLED  DRAG A DEMONSTRATOR?  

PROTESTORS SEWN INTO A PATTERN   

SHOW UP EACH NIGHT  EAT AT RIOT RIBS

THE FIELD KITCHEN BEFORE IT WAS SHUT DOWN    

OCCASIONALLY FIGHTING EACH OTHER NORMALLY EXCHANGING MISSILES WITH POLICE 

ONE SIDE DEPLOYS THE FULL RANGE OF NON-LETHAL WEAPONS 

OBJECTS HURLED FROM THE OTHER SIDE INCLUDE  

AN APPLE        

ON TV MR PRESIDENT PERFORMS LAW’N’ORDER

AND THE NEW FRONTIER IN OREGON…….  

IS THIS YET ANOTHER PLATFORM FOR PERFORMANCE?                         

WISHING THAT THE PORTLAND PROTESTS MAY MATERIALISE INTO SOMETHING MORE   
YOURS TRULY
