A Poem by h d e rushin

I like to think that good justice
is like a gale and who has ever seen
bad gladiolas, or the subtleties of a dreams
foolishness when at the end, the mean and
awful folk sit down and are recycled
by a Freud creed or drool?

And I've watched enough "Mannix" episodes
to know that pain has it's own exacting requirements'
it's own worn-cloth lilt. But the call
for "Mother, I cant breath",
isn't one of them.

Powerful piece.

I love the idea of subtitles for our dreams

It connects well with "I can't breathe" and is as haunting.

Not sure how the Frued connects unless it's with the thanatos, dreams, the undercurrent or primal ID of america to kill 'the other'

Great work.

Eight plus minutes kneeling on a dying man's neck, is cruel and uncaring beyond measure.

Nothing can bring back a life, but the thugs who did this, and I do mean thugs, as opposed to 'police officers,' deserve to be locked up and have the key thrown away.

Beccy.

yup saw that one coming, just as you must have known all the Freud episodes I've been watching on Netflix is not gonna change the crazy up in here, I'm just glad that whether you pretend or not it's ok to be angry, it's like monkeys throwing poo, its just a honestly natural thing to do...we should all be angry, any decent human being would be angry.
