Hatari

I watched Hatari last night.
John Wayne not at his best....his worst.
Killing his way through the African savanna.
Decades later we see what the taking of the wild beasts,
Has done to the the animals themselves.
Put in zoos and other like places for our pleasure.
The animal psyche not considered at all.
Monkeys pulled from their families, put in cages, tested,
poked at, laughed at, torchered,
God only know what else.
All for our pleasure and expense.

What is wrong with MAN.

Ravens

Words, black on a white page.
 small words, large words, long, short, capitals.
lower case letters piling up on white page.
What are they spelling out, a spiral, a line.
Thoughts, paralyzing those who read them.
Like crows they travel together, black against the light sky.
Like ravens they are not silent. Caw, and knock, chork, caw.
Like crows, up and down on a line....caw, caw, knock, chork.
Words, cutting, smoothing, biting, stabbing, glossing.
Words, sometimes truthful, sometimes............. not.
Time. to. take. tommy. to. town. tuesday. thursday. today.
Ravens glide swiftly across the day sky, in pairs, alone,
They fly jump from pine tree to fir tree, caw, caw, knock, Chork.

The day after the longest election of the Nasty woman.

I sit and wonder the why of things......
Out of my control, out of whack........
 Nov 9, 16.....a day to get through.
Out to nowhere, tucked in bed,
Head buried under the pillow.
Sunny skies, cold blue day.
Why do some men hate women so.
They want them helpless, subservient.
They want them for their own, to control,
to own, to master over. They want them.
They hate them, and yet possess them.
A strong woman a force to reckon with.
