he saw the warning reports on
television on-line if he had a smartphone he would have found them there too
Heat warnings
millions
and millions of people in harms way beeneath soaring one-hundred-plus degree
temperatures
Warning Life-threatening
terribly many aspect of American
life are besieged under
threat(Ohboy Lifes risky he thought And
since when was that nouveau or feared)
threats imagined and real are
hammered home 24/7(no respite no end of the
broadcasting day to catch a breath
Keep the heat up!)
Cuz people got to know!
everything endures scrutiny
knobs are polished to bright
mirrored-reflections like hanging twisting mirrorballs but mirrorballs spheres
didnt reflect accurately they inherently
bore distortions as did carnival
funhouse mirrors but for different reasons and purposes
however it seems people prefer
the reflections refractions(whichever fullfills your description or perception) rather than the
reality of the thing it reflected the unvarnished
true thing raw Pausing
he
recognised that the liquor store he worked in standing beside an Ulta cosmetic
store was considerably less square feet than it
America loved make-up(made-up)
Natural apparently cant withstand
the withering glare of Ideal-seekers(myopic shits)
but then
he supposed when a society is
dumbed-down they have no choice but to be led by the nose and accept they have
to do what they are told
cant
be a freethinker(or freetinker)
commonsense aint worth a plug nickel
it lacks
authority: Cite your source!
Source: using his commonsense he
examined the naming of the Black Lives Matter organisation
its pure Authenticity and efficacy
he mused at the indignation(vapid
hatred) it engendered and inflamed(racism)
he was darkly-humoured by the(clever) choruses: All Lives
Matter(Blue Lives Matter – Vegas Blue Man Group was ecstatic)
Black Lives Matter --
BLM -- as everything has to be parceled in an
acronym made shorthand abbreviated because he assumed the name Black
Lives Matter was simply too long or difficult to remember -- and it
was immediately fell upon by All Lives Matter(ALM? --
yes it would be charitable to
listen to a damn thing they had to say)
All Lives Matter goes without
saying(which means you dant say it)
but All Lives havent been subjected
to what Black Lives have throughout the whole of American History
or believed(taught) to be genetically
inferior people less than human
beings(3/5)
or have been viciously subjected
to slavery
or described a subgroup*
let All Lives endure 350 years(minimally)
of brutal subjugation THEN come around and talk to him about the value
of All
Lives comparative to Black Lives
hed be dead
white hot weather
White hot Fear
he was fascinated
somehow he either didnt get the
memo or missed it
his mind wasnt fashioned in kind
he recognised
and refused to take for
granted that his life was fortunate
-- entitled
by the colour of his
skin
he was raised by two parents
he had seven siblings
he
grew up in a house in a good neighbourhood
he
had a challenging education(he struggled)
he
ran the risk of failing a grade at school and being held back
he
attended and shared classrooms with kids who failed and were held back
he learned and
understood accountability(though by contemporary standards accountability has eroded
and degenerated into strangeness and is somehow excused without proportionally-commiserate
penalties)
try if he may he couldnt possibly look away
from the advantages his lily-white skin built-in for him
white hot weather reported on
every devise imaginable
divisive inane ignorant White hot Fear

The Pretty Things Sickle Clowns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWTMC8uUxfU
Down by the river
Three sickle mounted souls
Lay wined on the green leaf
Digging their rock 'n' roll
Hey, hey
Digging their rock 'n' roll
Slashed by the wild geese
The silence it did tear
Sticks swung in violence
You America murdered there
Hey hey
Young America murdered there
As one soul lay dying
Only two were there to care
On through the valleys
Sad sickle clowns they ride
Pressed tight against the morning
Beneath the blackened sky
Hey, hey
Beneath the blackened sky
There on a hill of gold
Wild children play
They bend to pick the flowers
The sun dissolves the day
Hey, hey
The sun dissolves the day
If you can't close one eye
Then turn the other way
Faces bark in anger
With savage bitter words
They twist against the friendship
With rapid shots they're blurred
Hey, hey
With rapid shots they're blurred
There by the highway
Two sickles melt in flames
They burn without the knowledge
Of why their lives were claimed
Hey, hey
Why their lives were claimed
As the smoke drifts skyward
We search for those to blame
