CRUELLA
MARIE HENEIN’S INNER CRUELLA & THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY
Since I no longer expect anything from mankind except
madness meanness and mendacity; egoism cowardice
+self-delusion I have stopped being a misanthrope
(Irving Layton poet)
Is it just me or are we collectively confused re: the goings on
at the Gomeshi circus down the road? Certainly there seems to
be an element of: scorned starfucker to the 3 witnesses so far
All appear tragic at times tragicomic vixens Vicious misogynistic
rhetoric? Or just the misguided +wounded setting the victims
rights movement back decades?
Doesn’t mean Gomeshi isn’t a dark+violent sexual tyrant The
similar stories do paint a picture of an egomaniacal manboy with
a hairpin trigger It just calls into question the accusers motivation
The moments when: no became yes became no became No doubt
there is a reasonable doubt in the mind of Justice William Horkins
as there is for you + I?
Particularly in light of the fact that 2 of the accusers colluded in over
5,000 e-mails discussing strategies +imagining Gomeshi fat bald +
incontinent awaiting trial One alleged victim of choking went so far
as to pen a multi-page love-letter ending with: i love your hands
It would seem that all 3 even perhaps Mr. Gomeshi require compassion
+not a little therapy Hopefully they will move forward with some shred
of dignity And the not so lily-white CBC will be sued for an as yet
undisclosed amount

Bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises
You never dared to vowThe splinters that you carried
The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind(Leonard Cohen poet friend of Irving Layton)
