SWARTHOS

Violence is on the increase. Here in Los Angeles… I was just saying to a co worker a couple weeks ago that this coming summer is going to be brutal, violent. so i sat down last night and turned on the idiot box to watch the lawlessness unfold. and it did not disappoint. mayhem, destruction. and yes, listen to me when I tell you, this isn’t about ICE or deportations. no! I tell you, this is about lawelessness and wanton destruction for the sake of acting out aggression.

No one I saw on the TV last night appeared to be any great intelligentia with concerns for humanity. Why, they destroyed Waymo vehicles! That really broke my heart. Waymo vehicles are those futuristic modified self driving Jaguar taxi’s that shuttle decent folk around the city of Angels. I sat and watched as six of them, maybe seven, were torched and literally burned to ashes before my eyes.

But this lawlessness is nothing new. no sir. it’s been creeping up on us in the form of stop signs run, red light’s ignored and speed limits exceeded by double digits. We have no longer entered the pressure cooker. we are fully submerged in its oppressive heat and there is no relief in sight.

As I lay in bed last night, I was overcome with anxiety as I often am so I have a place I visit inside my head… Mars, ancient Mars, it is there I climb inside my waiting Jet car and strap myself in and take to the desert floor beneath Olympus Mons.
