Head, Heart - by Lydia Davis

Head, Heart *

Heart weeps.
Head tries to help Heart.
Head tries to tell Heart how it is, again.

You will lose the ones you love. They will all go. But even the
Earth will go, someday.

Heart feels better, then.
But the words of Head do not remain long in the ears of Heart.
Heart is so new to this.
I want them back, says Heart.
Head is all Heart has.
Help, Head. Help Heart.

- Lydia Davis, 2007

I don't know why people are so concerned for the welfare and happiness of cops or other trivial matters when there are bigger and more urgent matters that need our attention and awareness. The state of the nation and the political landscape are continually evolving and not necessarily in a good direction. 

The following interview of Mike Lofgren on Bill Moyers' show can be titled: The Shadowy "Deep State" in America.
