the thing I most appreciate about current penn,

best I can surmise from this great distant make,

is that wher many irk & egregious bout th ways

& means of this present day debacle,  sean penn,

as I (who is far removed from such episode) deem, 

settles on a reference point, then goes out-of-bounds,

just to have a good look around and take in th lay o the

~in the scent of new rain ozone and shrapnel particulates 

of footpath truths down alleys & up ill-fêted...roadways

not on a leash or in some pomp motorcade;

the surge only meters away from ID face-

forward  &  feel  the grim blast-balancer

between fate’s split-second  fuck-up bent

projection of ire & some means to a bad end-

ing or a good ending  or a Hollywood ending or

any  meaningful ending  to  all this rappid-fire use

of lives & livelihood … as ‘e saunters on down;

nose into red air for a rat…or the good minute

HurlyburlyEddie: In the Middle Ages everyone really had to worry about witches and goblins, but what we have is stuff eating at us. We've got stuff we don't even... I mean, why do you think that all the warlords of the world are so anxious to get their own personal little stash of chemical weapons. They call them weapons of mass destruction, but they're not. They're very *very* selective about what they destroy. They annihilate people and preserve things. They love things. You and I would be dead, gas... puke... gone. Whereas, you know, other earlier older people - the ancients - could look to the heavens, which in their minds was inhabited by this thoughtful, meditative, you know, maybe a trifle unpredictable and wrathful, but nevertheless up there - this divine onlooker. We've got anchorpersons and talking heads. We've got politicians who decide life and death issues on the basis of their media concerns. That's what we've got.
