Race weekend in the genocide

Friday.

We didn’t buy tickets to practice 

The forecast said rain 

Went for a walk to Pyramid Rocks instead

The rain held off for 2 hours and we stayed dry


Dinner time.

We wait 30 minutes for a table

I read Chotiner interviewing Howard Jacobson

We’re seated and I’m angry from mental gymnastics

I gnaw lamb off the bone


Saturday.

The rain is gone but the wind persists

An IDF drone double taps a child with bombs

People tried to save the kid

Practice starts

Now they cover his corpse in a blanket


Sprint time.

Communication blackout in North Gaza

Jack Miller hits a seagull head-on

The dead bird stuck in the handlebars

Body grinding down as he accelerates and brakes


Sunday.

Sulala Animal Rescue save 2 kittens

They each lost an eye to gangrene

Alonso wins the Moto 3 race as expected 

Another record broken


Race time.

The bikes are so loud when they pass Lukey Heights

The sun finally came out today

I hope Martin extend his lead

I hope the bombing stops
