Poetic Obituaries: Street Poet's last day on earth was,

by all accounts, a good one. He'd been treated to a home-cooked meal and got some new clothes. He performed for an assembled crowd of 50-60 people, many of whom had never noticed how talented he really was until that moment.

"He read a poem about his being homeless and it was quite moving," said local attorney Jay Trenary, who also moderates the Occupy OKC legal committee.
