Jack Hirschman recites his "99% Arcane" at the 2012 San Francisco International Poetry Festival. 

Listen to Hirschman's verses echoing through the speakers, across the Civic Centre plaza, between the flagpoles, around the married couples having their photographs taken, before etching themselves onto the marble walls of the City Hall right opposite.

Recorded on 28th July 2012.

"We're the stick up
you've had coming
for as long as we
can count your wars.
We're gonna get rid
of money and those
725 bases all over the globe
we've slaved to pay for.
No occupation but this:
Occupy and come alive!
Occupy everywhere till
there's nowhere we're 
not! This event we're
in, which is inside all of us,
and, as in the beginning,
contradictorily, of course,
question-worthy, of course,
engined by justice and the 
only law that counts:
the one of love, the two
of love, the three of love,
the four for the other three
of love - Occupy for all!"
