IHURT
thats whahe saw whahe
wrote
he tried to write it correctly
tried to separate
it into subject verb but he couldntthey refused to be parted
he was puzzled
slowly it began to make sense
IHURT descriptor he was in pain
he had physical emotional pain
he thought he might be able to remedy ithe remedied other physical pains ailments when he was hurt without analgesics
he iced it
he thought if he iced it he could
reduce the inflammationthe swelling diminish
it to perhaps Ihurt
then with the swelling
down they might fall apart fall separate
if it refused maybe he could disguise it
purely cosmetic eyhert
the icing didnt work
he had to look at it
differently
see it differently
see how it might otherwise
present
then he might have or concoct another remedy another solution
IHURT
Ah
subjectverb that action where he threatened to hurt
others which ofcourse no amount of ice or analgesic might cure
anif not he then perhaps it
references the national problem
seemingly a national calling
positively unAmerican if one couldnt
hurt another for any variety of disobedience insult perceived-wronging
perception assume-challenged entitlement see how he didnt go
immediately for the bonethe jugular
racism
he was thinking out loud
because IHURT occurred to him
while he was asleep while he dreamed and while he dreamed he began
problem-solving composing he composed until
it woke him Get yer sorry assyer sorry self out of bed and get this down
before I shut it down and blank your fucking memory – howdya like that
muthafucker
that threat moved him
he opened his eyes and IHURT was
leaning over the bed looking him in the face
Whacha gonna make of me
Nothing Whadaya goin to reveal to me
hed keep at it
those were only twofor time being perceptions
hed continue to turn it around
and aroundupside downinside out looking for other applications hed muse for a
while longer before he accepting either interpretation
IHURT
it meant something
