Dozens are buzzing outside of the tents filling up in McPherson Square as the remainders of vegetable ratatouille and rice are distributed in red plastic bowls. One man climbs atop the statue of James B. McPherson, shrouded in a blue tarp, and kisses him. Inside the tarp, a scrabble game is being played. Outside, a homeless man and an Occupier are battling each other in chess. Surrounding them are a number of supporters who have never slept at McPherson Square but have come on this night in anticipation of the police's next move.
