Slowlyf' Brady comes forward slowly, eyessquinting to make out a body behind the bright glare of the flashlight. Suddenly he leaps forward, swing- ing lists wildly. Left to Blough's belly, hardg right to Blough's cheek, tears at skin with sharp, dirty fingernails. Goddam n Fuzz! linocked down, Blough is kicked by Brady. Sharp, pointed tips to back, stomach, groin. In last attempt, Blough throws now-broken flash- light upward with all his remaining strength. Skin divides unevenly over Bradyis left eye, and blood pours freely over his face. He collapses unconscious. Police brutality, that's what it is! Yessir! Police brutality! The courtroom is stuffy, overcrowded. Re- porters scribble illegibly on small pads, judge scratches crew-cut head. Look at my client's head, your honour. Those bandages conceal some very ugly wounds. And he is also bruised all over the rest of his body. Cannot a citizen receive justtreatmentfrom our police? Must this medieval torture exist in our modern days, exercised by those who profess to protect us? Turns to Blough: Or is this per- haps special treatment the members of our most esteemed Police Department reserve for unim- portant black men and children? Judge glances at watch, catches sight ofnote on desk - Remember to bring home some Ken- tucky l ried Chicken forsupper, He exhalesbreath impatiently and glances irritably at watch again. . . .

Some members of the jury look at one another. Blough sits back, astonished. l got my rights just like any other Ameri- can citizen, even though I am a black man . . . Silence! A loud bang. Youmustkeepyour client from bursting out like that in future, coun- sellor, or we shall have him taken out. Amild rebuke. Eventually the defence rest.

Of course, lt was something there, But other things made It', seem bare. It was full of emptiness, Now part filled, in time much less. Nowhere the sheet. when lt might have been But now is here, though should not be seen. Sky's the same, horizon's new XVhat was water has turned to dew, XVhat was not is now some thing Yet poor result of lonely sting. But when the everything is due, Then will one be formed, not two, Then will be one cold, one grey, One thought, one image and one day, One cover of a different breed, To wrap the ever perfect need. 7 Then was it warm, and now the warmsurrounds, Then was it blue, and now the blue abounds, Causing things of past in heart and mind to fit, Images are vague that now these scenes transmit. One cold scene, that things Isee reveal, Held thoughts and things and messages unreal. Yet I was young and could not know, That knowledge, experience together grow, And now's the time in life to start, To use the things I've learned in part, For making heart and mind to be, ln my kind of tranquility. To gain this air, does practice need, And l have just begun the deed, And that is why that grey and cold, Made yesterday a time of old. lt was there, l'll not regret. But to a better purpose set. My mind and soul and body out To find the thing that life's about. The Everything. - J Seagram Page I8 9
