Imagine that through some paranormal
device you've seen into the future and learned you would be killed by
police within 24 hours. You'd try to avert it by making yourself as
safe as possible. Probably just stay in your house until the time
passes. But if you happen to be black, there's nothing safe about
that. So you think, “I'll go someplace with lots of people. I'll
just stay in Denny's, eat all my meals there, drink hot chocolate in
between... nope, nope, that won't work. Then you think, “I'll
walk around town....no, ... hey I know. I'll go jogging like white
people do. That'll keep me safe. Then at night I'll sleep in my ...
no...

In an
incident peculiar to the time, I'm
at Thomas Lumber because I now
have ample time to work on the porch. I'm in the big lumber barn
getting some tongue-and-groove and a guy backs his diesel truck to
where the exhaust is pouring out right where I'm standing. He leaves
the truck running as he gets out and goes about his business wearing
his health mask.
This is the human
and this is why he is doomed.
What a strange place is the dream
world, though not stranger than this one that gives birth to it. This
morning I was dreaming I had a pearl necklace and donald Trump
demanded to know whence came the pearls. I said they were taken from
another necklace to make this one. He wouldn't believe it, said no
way, that can't be done. Then we were trying to talk over each
other, him saying it's impossible, me saying I saw them do it. Had
the phone not rung, I never would have remembered this episode. And
because the phone rang in this world, it remains unresolved in that
one.

can't keep up
When I looked good, people told me I looked like Hell. Now that I do look like Hell, people tell me I look good.
Who are these people?
