Violence + Breeze

“The cost of a little violence” a line from Hilary Plum’s Hole Studies.

The cost of a little violence can’t be so much with what happens around the world, around our country, in our cities, down the block. Surely whatever cost we incur we will gloss over, fudge the impact with a news release about some sort of sneaker. Repercussion indemnifiable indefinitely. Maybe from privilege or from the total cash balance in your savings.

a coast to coast country
of cash balance imbalances
repercussive outcomes, indemnifiable
privilege free passes judgement
acting without consequences
what kind of cost is there
in just a little violence

Wayward bit of breeze, how did you break from the winds that shift clouds 30,000 feet above me? How did you come to find me in need of a haircut and grab hold of the curled bits behind my ear, tickling at the afternoon’s eternity? Tell me little breeze, are you lost or bravely seeking?
