I’m learning how to recognize
the disfigured, defaced, disguised,
multiplied, masked, dehumanized –
my companions, scantily clad
in the social fabric –
do you recognize me?
2004 Fall
Do you feel like
You are slowly being
Digitized, dehumanized?
Do you feel like
You are losing touch with
Reality, your humanity?
Do you feel like
An alien technology
Is invading your brain,
Turning your life into
A video game?
How to rehumanize the dehumanized?
That is the crux of the problem.
A perplexing question.
A philosophical quandary.
Let’s not dehumanize them in the first place an eight-year-old suggested.
What does a child know?
Said one of the ninety-year old -decision makers in the senate.
To the heart, there are
no dehumanized objects;
even viewed from afar
each has a given Name.
And in that place,
not of names but of personal pronouns,
where I converse with Me,
the recognition is manifest
That You and You
are also We.
And even those We think as They
still have a voice,
something to say.
Uncommon Man
hard hat
lunch bucket
high steel walker
at home where eagles soar.
mole, in pits and holes
deep, dark cracking stone
labyrinth’s glitter.
salt stained, rocking seas
tread her whims
for silver glint glimmer.
nine to five, three shift
two shift
blue denim Atlas
balances the World.
vilified, patronized
then dehumanized
into work units
commerce engine
used up, spat out
but they abide.
