The Essence of Injury
John Bennett

The essence
of injury
is that
a function
of the
unconscious
gets shifted
to the
conscious.

Bennett, like Bukowski, just lays it out.

His reflections are always right, not always flattering. He has this in common with Bukowski.

Any suggestions?
You certainly choose thought-provoking and sometimes “over my head” blogs, but I appreciate the stimulation.

This universal ache is widely familiar, but seldom captured in such thoughful prose. : ” I wish i could stop tap dancing—-” and again ” I’m partial to a funeral pyre pushed out to sea–”. It captures both the torment and relief of parting and leaves the rest unsaid and lets you spin your wheels. I like it, Phil Hansotia.
