Star Spangled Banner

I understand now how that guy managed to pen that epic poem about the flag and the battle and everything. An entire night is a long time to spend anxious and surrounded by anxiety. Being in my tent at 11:30 in Grant Park (30 minutes after closing) is a bit unnerving.

We've been told about the ordinance we're violating. We've heard about how to get arrested without inciting violence. We've been told to move out if we can't tolerate being arrested. Everyone's been talking since 10 as if arrest was iminent and assured.

I'll believe it when I see it.

But in the meantime, there's the waiting. Sitting, waiting for what's going to happen next. I kind of wish that I could come up with something as epic as the star spangled banner. I've got all night...maybe I'll give it a shot.

Meh...it's not dawn yet, and I seriously have to pee.
