After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Should’ve swerved to the right and smeared a coupla greasy marks on the railing.
It’s why I own a 1986 military blazer. Easy to work on. Also, no airbags. (And an HCAR)
CIII
There is little doubt that you would have!
Okay, I’m kinda slow to catch on… living out in the sticks and such. I can’t read twitter because I don’t and won’t ever belong. Was this one of those planned highway robberies I’ve heard of where the perps actually cause a wreck so the unaware motorist steps out of his vehicle with his insurance card already in hand… and then he’s clubbed and kicked and tossed over the embankment… but not before they’ve swiped his wallet and wristwatch and cell phone… and then they drive off with his car, too? But this guy doesn’t live in the sticks like me? And he’s, like, totally hip to the whole freaking thing, caught it on camera, and suffered no more than a slightly dented front fender?
Yeah, you got it. That place is a funnel of defeat, depending on who has the biggest ballz, or in this case, the bigger vehicle. Situational awareness is the order of the day.
Okay, I’m catching on. Then… after they’ve tossed the dude over the 60 foot embankment to his death then they go through his personal belongings, drive to his house, click the garage door opener, pull in, park the car, close the garage door, barge into the kitchen and rape his wife, and the kids get it, too? Something like that? I sure hope they have a forgiving district attorney who will work with these disadvantaged guys and get them some good counseling and place them onto a steady path and a bright future.
You say smooth move. I say, SMOOOOOOOOOOTH MOVE !!!!!
Reason number 156,693 to always go armed when you leave your home. And avoid crowds. And MLK avenue. And Democrat-run cities.
Sometimes I find myself thinking that I can hardly wait. Not until we start shooting back but until we simply go on the offensive. If it looks like a perp, call it one, take care of it and find the next one.
Dumping a mag or 3 on them would have been a nice touch…

Mag dumps make for poor photography without special effects. Rolling the vehicle with flying parts everywhere would have been entertaining. But still a smooth response to the surprise attack.
