TOM CLARK: flying from 2560 to 2017 like a craneshot from the flies (Holy Awesome)

The crocodile saw Brad Pitt praying in the wilderness

Lifting himself by his suspender straps into the Holy Awesome sky

Of our endangered wilderness

That's Brad's and yours and mine I mean

This land is your land and Brad's and I forget whose but probably not mine

This land is the amusement park where Reason commits suicide

On its day off

The ghost of a self-driving machine turns left at Escondido

Rousseau puts one in the air

Then runs away escaping back into Nature bruised and battered

By a rain of blows from the handbag of the ghost of Voltaire

And this is public life

It's getting harder and harder to ignore society's problems away. Scenes like this just ruin some people's perfect worlds. These problems are not really real to them until it pops up on their daily commute and they are forced to face it. And then they retreat further into safer, more homogenized bubbles. And/or they become calloused and practically weaponize their blame and point it at any scapegoat that conveniently removes them from feeling any responsibility. And rather than coming together to solve problems, they just get worse, with a growing toll on human lives. (R.E.)
