when does it happen?
shouting staccato limericks
at passing cabs
twirl fingers in the earth
load up a Dillinger plan
hoping to shoot the breeze
she just blew on by
horns in coat pockets
cocktails shaken, then stirred
rebellion in high heels
18 wheels to nowhere
keep on truckin’
make-believe kills from exposure
hard-bitten nuances nod
off reservation, energy conservation
gambling and liquor two by four
funding clues on dirty floors
computer tablet tableau tool
paint another portrait
changing frames and names
upright lounge rule state
fools fight for air
paying $5 per water
laugh at laissez-faire
even in their underwear
taking turn at counters
select a number, then wait
with bated breath
don’t need no education
no stinking badges
no insubordination
just smile for the cameras(!?everywhere)
pay taxes, save your bacon
debt was never supposed to happen
hey, but you owe us
so we own you
way of the world
unless you want to
hasten your conclusion
suicide’s martyr
handmaiden’s tale
American gods
play game of thrones
check is in the mail
u turn here, just go left
second star on right
straight on until morn
everything is complex
just the basic facts,
you can’t lose, you can
choose to attack
recrimination
acculturation
future so brite
not quite
why not fight
why not now
why not tonight
why not
why
there are no solutions here
only, only ever
more and more questions.

That picture.
Feels so much about a time and what mentality it developed

The sad thing is there are still places in this world that have this mentality. We in the West seem to forget what true desperation is. Thanks EC🖤

I agree about the picture…it is rather breath taking…I remember reading the story about it online a few years ago but I wish I could remember the details…it was in regards to what happened to the kids. I feel like it was a farmer who ended up taking them to work on his farm But ugh, it’s blurring in with plenty of other heart killing things I was reading at the time.
