the sun came out after three days of rainno bitchin bout thatnot if you live in California

                                                                                             he did too

he had been waylaid by a cold

he made a rare exceptionfavoring himself indoors and listened to the rain at the windowpanes and pound overhead on the roof mesmerised he slipped into delicious colourful hypnagogic notions that moved like oil on the inside of his eyelids then darkened them and lent him to deep healing naps

keenly aware hed fall asleep he set an alarm to wake him for his evening shift to shower off his sweat dress for work and drive fortunately only eight miles

he had the world by the balls

he walked in the sun delighting in it mostly recovered

it occurred to himrather he realised  most of the towns overhead lamps and streetlights had been pinioned with thin metal spikes diverting birds from roosting atop them 

as if the birds were the nuisance

when light chokes night of its natural element it ought to amount to more than his pained issue

however community leaders sought and made the quiet investments defending them with citations the responsibility the necessity to provide secure lighted ways and protect of the citys economic storefronts

their whining always wearied him 

somebody was making a buck 

he wondered what ssh quiet portion of that buck worked it way backhe also wondered Benjamin Franklin  Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty or Safety.

to be sure the quote is appropriated contextualised a pull-quote a thesis regarding money more than liberty however when money means more and has always meant more to select individualsindividuals who were publicly electedwho were granted power to act only in behalf of and for the betterment of their constituents  its overlaying sense  albeit unspoken implied they were to regard an equality for the Whole of any disbursement realised not holes secretly torn in the Wholes pocket

he holed up for three days
                           now sunlight was his best disinfectant

were birds the nuisance

the uncounted trees taken down

an exceptional few replanted

was the displaced wildlife considered  where were they to gowhere were the small smashed communities of fourlegged sixlegged eightlegged and winged earthlings to go

AH  who would humanly have a fealty to them  theyre lesser

no handholding they havent hands

no having their backs their spines arent upright

victimised no compassion was allotted them

when the mad rubber eventually hits the road this ugliness will have to be owned  owned first by the ignorant hapless pawns  then those who all the while had pushed the pawns forward from behind hoping whatever it is is appeased and glutted and thereby they can save themselves

it doesnt feel like hyperbole
