      In the Eyes of The I’s

      I


      I remember…


      I was walking across: The Unity Bridge. A

      unifying construct, in both, the literal and

      figurative sense, the bridge connects the

      North side to the South side, however, there

      are cultural landmarks, which call for a

      unification of every race, color and creed.


      Very noble and worthy ideologies.

      I was walking across: The Unity Bridge.


      During the day. Someone on a bike, riding

      from behind…


      Touched me. As they rode past. I got

      so angry. I


      Wanted to do very bad things to them.
      Like I went into a

      bloody

      rage. A bloody rage of their blood.

      I also thought of the social implications, such

      as being a confirmation of a complex, multi

      tiered society, with varying levels of awareness

      and…


      Customs. Where the fuck do they do that at


      Think it’s

      ok

      to touch people


      I feel obliged and obligated to respond, as

      both an individual, and, more importantly,

      a member of a collective, who should not

      stand for this shit. Like. Let me take one

      for the team, in order that the next might

      be spared of the idiocy, or, dare I say, change

      the world. Let me do it. Fuck it. I don’t

      give a fuck. But beyond that. I have

      thought about it. A lot. And I am mad.

      Mad in the sense of being a madman

      and. Mad. In the sense of being. Angry.

      Sometimes. But in a righteous sense.

      Like this thing of thinking it’s ok to touch

      people or fuck with people.


      It is not…


      Ok


      IV


      Say hi and lose an eye. Maybe even die


      The poor fucker, probably wearing flip flops

      at the time, alleges…


      He only said: How are your doing. Whilst

      walking

      down


      The street. To which the response was


      An attack


      V


      Somewhere in the ensuing melee the guy got his eye thumbed out


      VI


      I have taken to walking, the last bit of time. Finding

      enjoyment and moments of contemplative meditation. I

      find myself taking back trails, so as not to be seen.


      Occasionally, I come across passerby. I find my self

      wondering in the wandering…

      How should I address passerby. It seems like such a

      simple task.


      What is it in the details?


      VII


      Firstly, anyone I see…


      Will be a different sort of individual, a traveler.


      An explorer.


      But in general… Anywhere in the world

      under any circumstances…


      VIII


      I recall someone recently saying hi, to…


      Me..?


      I instantly replied hello. Perhaps astonished


      I had seen that dude, before.

      He was driving. I was walking. He waved. I

      [think he thought I was transient. Which

      would be perhaps

      true

      But it was interesting. At first it was such

      a nice thing. Then


      I kind of got angry at the dude for making me: Be nice..?


      Like…


      Motherfucker. You need to stay dangerous. Haven’t

      you heard.


      This was a very background element of the: Frequency of me.]

      But for me…


      For my personal choice, as to: Greetings of strangers.


      I genuinely have a concern talking to folks, because, I am

      aware that they might say something that sends me nuclear.

      Or do something, where, I have to fuck someone up, real

      bad. That is how I personally think, for various reasons,

      some of which having to do with the zeitgeist of the age,

      as reported by social media, I must say, but also, personal

      experience directed directives, which are further confirmed

      in incidents such as the aforementioned incident.

      One could certainly go through this thing, this…


      Sometimes circus sideshow, sort of, oblivious, or

      just…


      Enjoying oneself. Then


      BAM


      Your ass just got


      BRICKED


      Or


      X


      Said: HI


      &
