429 Memories
Freaked out and calling Pops to close up his store and get the hell out! Images of angry mobs and gun shots attacking my wayward imagination.
Factored into the statistics, the one-percenters, profitting at the expense of the 99. "Pawns," they said, "to bring liquor through Koryo folk into the hood." A blind-spot to the real underlying issue . . . in this case, dysfunction begetting dysfunction, two survival mentalities clashing over the piece of enclave. Both part of the same Goddamned mess.
Yet immigrant folk with immigrant tongues, unable to offer an eloquent reply. Perfect scapegoats for the 429 event. Reporters enjoying this angle in their share of the Korean buffet. Until the desert voice, Zen Priestess Oh told those "well meaning" media folk about the blind-spot to the real underlying issue.
