Baltimore, Maryland has become the scene of the latest in a series of seeming fissures in the fabric of our society. I don't know if it is a result of the increased availability of camera phones that allows people to capture more of what those communities have been saying they have been enduring for generations, or if there is an increase of abuse of power among some people in law enforcement. The bottom line is that what happened there in Baltimore is a discrepancy between our ideals and our reality. Is it that society is breaking up or perhaps that it never quite fully fused to begin with? It's like the question of the chicken or the egg. Better left to further in-depth mulling over. But I did recognize these questions in one of my poems in my book, so I sought the assistance of my colleague and collaborator Phos-Grafe to help me produce a video featuring that poem which I share here. |
