Dexter Gaze[Days] of Summer

Semper Fi Classroom Appearance

With a voice as sure as the sea; I speak ---- still; Today ---- with our remembrances of
things past
@ the battlefront
of brave language
we are called to Listen.
For some, there is no forgetting ----
that IED
thundered ----
surprised our formation.
There was no recovery; no defensive maneuver
to save our hands,
arms,
legs.
Basic training does not presume
to do anything more
than elevate tourniquet consciousness.
It becomes our task
to ask :
Has the mission *really* been accomplished when bodies have been reduced,
re-sized
without Congress
assuring a guarantee; a bond of surety
for the wounded to return
without reliving the explosive truth of pre-mature

Presidential declarations :
Rehab doesn't make anyone more ready
for democracy.

Hitching a Ride

From the shadow-ed force of neighboring geometries; a carpenter's son puts it to the pedal[s] with a girl's weight on his shoulders.  Human beings should only be caged when fear or crime drives them under.          But children?  Well; we know appearances can be deceiving.  Still want to hitch a ride?

BKLYN @ the Times' Center [4 Real?]

Perhaps you've stumbled upon the television advertising campaign; or have encountered it @ some cinematic juncture on cable [no matter your 'provider'] but the New York Times has been pushing its 'brand'; arguable "quality" and "accuracy" since 2010.  A black turtle-necked -- be-spectacled "intellectual" looks into the camera and asserts : "The best journalists" work @ and write for the Times.  So convinced is he, the terms are tempting --- "free" for the the first four weeks.                                   Too pressed for time?  Then get the Weekender --- perfect for cafes receptive to long stretches of caffeinated [con]infusion.    As if The[ir] previous pretentiousness wasn't enough; now they assert [see above adhesive] :  "[We] put Brooklyn in the center of the conversation."   Question : What conversation?

Getting Serious

NYC Department of Parks and Recreation quite thoroughly provides a historical / topographical framework for the Brooklyn park [pictured; in part; above].  Should you require a primer on Basketball ---
try Springfield, Massachusetts.

Exodus Economics

 

just for fun; i Googled "Exodus Economics."

this is an excerpt extracted from the top 10 search results:

"The original exodus was the departure of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. While in slavery, the Israelites, God's covenant people, were oppressed with more than work; they were not allowed to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Although we are not slaves in the same sense they were, America has gone the way of Egypt.  Our slavery is subtler, yet still obvious, especially in the forms of high taxes, fascist property laws and state-run education."

there is the bread of our affliction.

 and the people afflicted by historical amnesia; tax evasion and standards-phobic disordered thinking.  

it is natural, for a civil society; to want to open history books

to read the testimonies of families whose homes were occupied by neighbors; while doctors, architects, lawyers, children faced transport; 

after the fascists emerged as Berlin's brokers

of Aryan Standards and Propaganda.
