Troponin of Protest
By Jerry Garcia
a protein within a troponin complex helps regulate the heartbeat and can be used as an indicator of myocardial infarction (heart attack.)
Mindset
accrual of uncertainty
blindly coursing
days.
Roadblocks
hold back light
like dementia.
Temptation closes
callous arteries
of dilemma
looking for fault.
Volcanic road rage
revolting against destitute.
Thrombotic ankles dragging
like screaming canyons
on fire.
Resuscitation nil.
Jerry Garcia spent his childhood fearing “the bomb” and was a teenager during the “Summer of Love.” He studied Communication Arts at Loyola Marymount University during the Watergate Era, becoming a film editor and producer of television commercials, documentaries and motion picture previews. His poetry has been seen in the likes of The November 3rd Club, The Chiron Review, Askew, and Palabra Magazine.
