Life on the Bounty
A Captain Bligh on every side
Eyes in the passing neighbors
Eyes in the sky
Eyes in phones
Look out of utube
up from Google Earth
read every internet line
everyone see's a bit of the same sky
calls it their own
everyone experiences a bit of the same god
calls it their own
you hear the undertones of violence in the news reports
the barely maintained beasts among us
out there hunting right up until they are hunted down
violence is the duty of some and the madness of most
i watch drunks and crack heads getting busted on Cops
mostly they roll in after someone has already been stabbed
and try to sort out what happened
I call the show let's watch drunks getting busted
M says one more episode of the show will push her to suicide
I see her point of course
there have been times I couldn't watch that show
like slowing down to watch a car wreck
other times I am sociopathetic,
conditioned to feel no emphathy by the bruising onslaught of Pain
the violent scenes from my stories
seem ghoulish
repulsive
the real blood
makes the fake seem perverse
