some time in the last fifty years
“quality control” became “quality assurance”
and more recently
“problems” became “issues”
but, marketing aside, rage turns people with weapons
into murderers
and free-floating rage
is on the rise
hatred has waxed and lightheartedness waned
..
some time after rodney king got his meat tenderized
by a gang of cops with their handheld hitting devices
he asked “can’t we all just get along?”
but all of us getting along would be catastrophic
for the manufacturers of weapons
so no, rodney, we won’t be getting along
any time soon
..
a man with fruit cart placed himself in harm’s way
to keep a gunman from making holes in some folks
not of his faith
and the gunman made two holes in his arm
..
frustration makes us ruder
and may make us enraged
and abraham zapruder
our smartphone use presaged.
