PRIMA FACIA EVIDENCE

PRIMA FACIA EVIDENCE

A Poem by Vol

Forty years ago

was just yesterday,

1984,

when Orwell missed by

just this many years

his dream of how

things would be

when they get their

act together.


And they have…


The prophet Yeats

knew the worst

would be full of

passionate intensity

and the best of us

would lack all

conviction.


To know the

future, of men’s

minds you only

have to look

back there over

your shoulder,

for some rough

big brother beast.
