A white womon and
her child halt and shoot stunned but hostile looks at my truck and then focused
in my direction. I smile and bid them good morning as I climb the steps to the
organic coffee shop – Black gay-owned organic coffee shop in rural Maine!
Later, they come in and the mother sits with her back to
me so her t-shirt glares a pro-2nd amendment slogan directly at me
and I sigh deeply. If I stereotyped – or maybe generalized – her, I’d say she’s
one of the many white womyn who are 100 times more likely to be murdered by
some man who claims he loves her – with her 2nd amendment right gun
in her home.
The figures flash thru my brain, the 96 people in this
country who will kill themselves or someone else today, how most will be either
accident or suicide, and the great majority of those left will be womyn killed
by their fuckin partners.
The tRump and the boys (and some girls) who will be
funneled over to Afghanistan – maybe not the 2nd poorest – but vying
for the poorest – nation in the world anymore since we’ve been attacking
Somalia, Syria, Yemen et al.
Kill kill kill kill – the mantra of our nation, not soft,
historic echoes but loud present clanging of life in this country.
