Poem
While vehicle underwent routine oil change today... At Norm's Save Station 551 Gravel Pike, Collegeville, Pennsylvania, yours truly suddenly realized fifty eight years earlier (a preschooler living at Lantern Lane) John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassinated November 22, 1963, 12:30 post meridiem Central Standard Time as he rode motorcade, through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. The myth of Camelot (a place and time of idyllic happiness) actually assigned Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (1929–1994) shattered instantaneously by Lee Harvey Oswald. While thoughts caught up with aforementioned tragedy, Norm a congenial older man, and proprietor of mechanic gently interrupted somber reflection informing me, an exhaust leak (costing north of four hundred dollars - that said dollar figure merely covers price of part) warranted immediate attention. Though no connection between series of unfortunate events occurring not quite three score years ago and earlier today (even Lemony Snicket would find himself baffled) finagling two disparate phenomena, whereby one hotmail sought to jumpstart and kickstart his quest for reelection in November 1964, and one generic kook (me) linkedin to Machiavellian repercussions affected then young shell shocked parents of mine indeed helpless to explain senseless killing, whence second youngest president wantonly, violently, and tragically slain leader of the free webbed world even now defies believing peace on earth and goodwill toward all men/women can be realized meanwhile most recent incarnation of King Arthur experiences brisk business evidenced courtesy since trigger pulled by assailant gunned down by Jack Ruby (ironically sentenced to death), which linkedin loosed bullets birthed conspiracy theories galore. Relentless desecration of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness barely restrained by laws dime a dozen murderous sprees now rarely witness capital punishment and offtimes find villain acquitted even garnering accolades after exhibiting crocodile tears (think case in point: Kyle Rittenhouse travesty of trial), who killed two people identified as 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, of Kenosha, and 26-year-old Anthony Huber, of Silver Lake, Wisconsin Armed with with an AR-15-style rifle purportedly and most likely intended to empty unspecified number of rounds lest why would a supposed young law abiding citizen, (and a minor at live crime time) equip himself with full cartridge if not to mow down innocent people?
