Images do not speak for themselves.
But what happens when they do?
It is easy to see criminal acts, we do
Through computers. But what makes
The brain so amazingly different?
Why is the brain immune to this idea
That pictures have meaning?
So much that we can’t see, inside.
Is there social on the inside?
Lives and cultures, language all
Mashed up inside a skull. People, words
Jammed together in three pounds of tissue.
Such a heavy burden to house criminality.
But what if our culture is criminal? What if
We tear it apart and realize that there is nothing
But violence against humanity?
