A Funeral, Not a Rally
In the face of all the jockeying for position,
the pharisees' sneer,
the showy regrets of those who wonder at their own role--in all this noise, the vital thread is lost.
It is not a a chance to climb, nor the Reichstag fire, nor yet again a Kulturkampf.
Our love of the gun enabled it, but even that our culture of death is not the thread.
Dismiss all this sound and fury, and there is this:
Stanley Almodovar III, 23 years old

That is all.
The rest is silence.
