23 JULY UNEVEN DEVELOPMENTS

OPEN UP IN TIME TO SHUT BACK DOWN AGAIN   

THERE’S A DELI IN L.A. THAT DOESN’T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK   

SUBURBS WHICH HAVEN’T FELT A THING  AND DISTRICTS CLOSE BY WHERE YOU CAN SENSE IT LIKE NEW YORK    

WHAT FUTURE FOR THE AGE OF ANXIETY IF THE BAR IS CLOSED WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN  

MADE REAL?    

IN THE LONE STAR STATE  CONFLICT’S RED ON RED   

WEAR A MASK  

THE GOVERNOR SAID WHILE STETSON WEARERS WARN IT JETTISONS OUR FREEDOMS    

AGED 93 A TEENAGER WAS CONVICTED YESTERDAY 

BEHIND A SCREEN IN HAMBURG’S JUVENILE COURT HIDING HIS FACE BEHIND A BOOK 

AT 17 BRUNO DEY HAD SAT IN A TOWER GUARDING THE INMATES OF A NAZI DEATH CAMP

OF COURSE HE SHOULD HAVE

BUT IF HE WERE DRAFTED 

WOULD YOUR ‘A’ LEVEL SON  HAVE DARED TO DEFY THE ORDERS OF HIS OFFICERS? 

WISHING THAT WE COULD RESPOND COHERENTLY TO A LIFE OF CONTRADICTIONS     
YOURS TRULY
