16 MAY THERE’S RUNNING AND THERE’S RUNNING….

AHMAUD ARBERY WAS OUT RUNNING  INTO THE McMICHAELS FATHER+SON   OUT GUNNING       

IS THE WOODPILE STILL NIGGLY IN THE SOUTHERN STATE OF GEORGIA? DOES IT MAKE PEOPLE PRICKLY SEEING A BLACK MAN ON THE LOOSE?  

IN NEW YORK CITY  BETWEEN MARCH & MAY   THE RICHEST RAN AWAY    FROM UPTOWN TO UPSTATE+FURTHER AFIELD  NEARLY HALF A MILLION NOT THERE

ALMOST A WOODSTOCK OF DESPAIR   

THE DOORMEN DOWNSTAIRS WERE THEY SAD TO SEE THEM GO? 

MAYBE SORRY  THAT FRIENDLY TURNS OUT TO HAVE BEEN MERELY   

POLITE     

OR SIMPLY RELIEVED   NOT TO RECEIVE SO MANY PARCELS FOR DELIVERY    

JURY’S OUT  ON GETTING OUT  

WITH A SUNSET TO RIDE INTO  WOULDN’T YOU? 

THE STICKING POINT IS THIS  

WHEN THESE LOVELY PEOPLE RAN AWAY NO ONE THOUGHT THEY OUGHT TO SHOOT    WITHOUT DELAY 

WISHING THAT LONG DISTANCE RUNNERS COULD SAD+LONELY  NOT SHOT+KILLED   

YOURS TRULY
