The ABC's of Eviction
Play count the errors and
spot the straw men!

In a city where half the non-profit organizations were slated to lose their leases by the end of the year, to say nothing of the ones that had already been displaced, along with countless individuals and families, I decided to perform more evictions.
Since what's behind every eviction notice is physical force, I made sure to have my own version. I had been introduced to my "heavies" when they had picked me up off the street after Mayor Willie Brown had me thrown out of future dot com office space – Rhonda Winter, all leather, smeared mascara and spitting, and diminutive, girlie-girl Lissa Ivy, who added to her ensemble for the evening a baseball bat. David Sarpal completed our crew. Clothed like me in black suit and officious demeaner, he repeated everything I said in Spanish.
