Notice how essential
does not mean
respected
how value adheres not
to vital work
but to legally stolen
wealth.
It has occurred to me
that perhaps
the owners of the
looted, burned businesses
had insurance that
would offset their losses
from the
Covid.
the police problem is
not bad apples
it is bad pickers and
bad apple growers,
and a bad apple market
which encourages the
production and distribution
of clearly poisonous
fruit
I want to lay out on
the floor,
arms over
eyes,
and cry and fall
apart,
dissociate, scattered
into tattered
pieces never to
reassemble,
to pull myself
together,
again.
I am but giving you my
point of view.
Do as you will with my
gift.
Isn't this the crux of
our
insanity -- dividing
behind
identity forts rather
than
accept and rejoice in
our humanity?
We are living the
unfinished business
of the
'60s.
We conceded to the
glitz and greed
as if somehow sensible
reality.
We need clear and
serious conversation,
the kind of effort
democracy deserves.
