It’s a matter of degree. If at an early age you have tasted the bitter ash of defeat and humiliation it gives you a deep respect for the spiky neuron bundles and brain structures that translate such into empathy and sympathy.
Another insominatic night. Waiting for the Axe-man to strike. Leaving is not so bad if you have another place to go to. As we go about appointed and unappointed tasks, we find ourselves ushered into a line. Woman behind asks-what we are waiting for? I prefer not to opinion. Though I have an idea.

The soldier falls.
He does not become a three-days personage./Imposing his separation,
Calling for pomp./
Death is absolute and without memorial,/As in a season of autumn,/
When the wind stops,/When the wind stops and, over the heavens,/The clouds go, nevertheless,/In their direction. * w stevens

Waiting, for got-it
(pronounced Godonut)
Was his tardiness
The final gesture of refusal or
Defiance—or had the potbellied infidel
Got pissedly drunk and fell in the Liffy?
Or was it that the bloody feckin
Tram was late again
(Or had it been blown up
in a terrorist attack

A signal draft/that last reading
suffused with buried guilt buried treasure
How to memorialize the parsimony within all human transactions
clusters: words, deeds, entreaties-
a face that drags words along/as if expelled
from crevices of the earth -if there is a spotlight,
it is yours

Hell is empty, said Dante. All the viscous malignant demons, the viperous assassins, the death-dealers, slaughters of healers, those who welcome rendering children orphans; no misgivings about killing children remaining. They are not welcome in Hell. They have found sanctuary in the state of Israel…

My Golden Globes Award Speech
Time and before that, another time, and this time now keeps on in a steady unforgiving pace. And as the endgame steadily approaches the accumulations of lived experience prompts the unavoidable awareness that we all are eternally menaced, and most of all by ourselves.

--“The theater, my friend, is the only place where complete strangers assemble in rows arranged by letters and numbers, in the dark and quiet, and where the only people masturbating are on stage.

The world will break everyone. The very good, the very gentile, the very brave. And those it does not break, it kills.
Is that from the Bible Father Shaw?
Another book…. There is no shame Robert, Father Shaw continued, in being broken. I should know. You pick up the pieces. and start rebuilding.

Bezos illustrious wedding in Venezia
the highlight the venal superrich [Kardashian, etal]

and the illuminati [Gramsci’s godchildren] on the other, to throw weighted bean bags at the crowd on the other side...it was very exciting,

Poems are nimble little things; they are
the most nuclear active of the arts
Even if they are compressed
to a tiny mass/
they can/ by virtue of the designation
speed of light squared/
in the denominator of the equation/
spawn huge amounts of light.

SO, When you gaze long enough into the abyss_ the abyss that is our current imperial politico administration == the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the void remains silent, relentless and frightening in its enormous venality.

I found I was still sitting in the theatre even as the lights dimmed and the columns of dust like silos filled with lost souls ascended and everyone finally was gone, words like battle-worn scars still remained. And I don’t know why I still want them to dance.

L asked me quite unexpectedly, - what do you think about us? (Her girlfriend and her)
What do you think about us, you know, being together?
Another pained silence. Searching the data banks for the symptoms and the connects to the clusters of hypotheses about people: and their comings & goings,
