Vignettes from the past few days.

A little boy used to put his forehead against the microwave while he cooked his food and say to his mom dad brothers sisters friends mentors acquaintances look at me look at me im getting superpowers, well in high school he got leukemia and died a year later a great tragedy of our generation, our time.

A child used to play in a foreign yard. The man who owned the grass hates children on his lawn overprotective of the things he owns letting the things he owns his personal blades of grass and clots of dirt own him, got fed up one day saw the child in his yard and shot him, called the police said, I just shot a kid. Didn’t even say my bad obviously he has no empathy never had children of his own or just has a vendetta against children. Abuse of power.

A man stood on a porch last night at three twenty six in the very early morning and shouted he can do whatever he chooses and he wished us a merry Christmas on this crisp October day, what a trooper. What a Christian. He has faith, he does. Called after us all down the block words that he wanted to say, no Announce because they seemed important at the time and indeed they were they were not wasted they were valuable.
