At dVerse Ingrid is hosting Open Link Night, when we choose our own poem for posting.
“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” Joseph Campbell
Vicarious Fakery Those movies, patriarchal propaganda, offering dominance as power, the pretty mistress as icing, a tasty treat rescued by a man, who is, of course, impervious to multiple wounds that would hospitalise most of us and whose guns seem to have exponential magazines that never run out, leaving the audience pumped full of the weird sense that they too are immortal heroes ready to rescue and fix our version of the world.
