Solving Loneliness With Keatsian Intensity
By Dr. Patrick ODougherty
On May 4th, 1970 shots rang out
At Kent State.
We carry these shots
As students historical inheritance.
Shots rang out in New Orleans and Falcon Heights in 2016
Again and again
Like staccato beats against young hearts
Alton Sterling, Baton Rouge, LA dead.
Philandro Castile, Falcon Heights, dead in a auto a symbol of sovereignty.
We carry these anti-memories as mind lesions
Like the blood Jesus sweat on the Mount of Olives.
Prejudice yields a blood martyrdom creating mental anguish
And mental illness. Their casuistry! My martyrdom! We Solve our Loneliness
With Keatsian Psyche Intensity against Black violence.
Blood Fleur D'Lily is in Baton Rouge! Blood Rose of Castile, Minnesota. Why?
