  Victim
  by Marie Monroe

  this rusty bedspring haunted me. i wondered what had happened on this stage over its lifetime. i remembered some recent statistics i read that said maybe 1-2 out of every 3 people have had some, at least covert, sexual abuse. i always thought this portrait spoke of something far away that still haunted him. for many adults that is childhood abuse that these stats were trying to define

  Groom
  by Marie Monroe

  in scraping emulsion to alter polaroids i used this surface, kept it on the work table and used it for notes. i packed it away for about 26 years and just pulled it out. it was mistakenly scooped up and stored with ‘finer’ prints. this is the only one i liked today. simmering works!

  Pre-dawn and Gulf Wars (Sun Valley)
  by Marie Monroe

  I got a couple of viable answers. One was that life is that way. / Another had to do with disenfranchisement. Oh, I thought, that. you have residual PTSD. / you were a child in the 60’s / ask Dr. Leary. / hmmm social experiments and social/cultural revolution brought me something else / and / that’s a clinical thing, sadly I realized this morning that I have PTSD that works like this: I have the unshake-able idea that at the peak of joyous social change really bad and really sad things are going to happen. I got the notion (suddenly not so ephemeral and italicized) that revolution costs enormous, sad, tragic, life-long, not so great life-altering costs. I am a child of the 60’s. Please forgive me.

Merry Christmas to you, my unknown friends.
