"Very fine people on both sides"





In one lane, Cecil Rosenthal,
and in the other, his brother
David. Finally validating the 
soothing findings of the Amer-
ican President after 2017's
antisemitic carnival in Char-
lottesville, both sides now
were innocent, humble, honest
people of faith and decency,
parted only by wrongful death.

Or was there more than that
kind of death, they died --
some alternative fact of it -
some wing nut radiant glow -
some proof that guns do not
kill, some foundation for a
Vice President's stuffing
down their throat his con-
version therapy of Jesus, at
this instant of their soul?

Time is now to keep faith with 
that faith, against oppressive
fondling. Let their way be cher-
ished for their discoveries,
and such love as our security.












ii  Jan Beran, 1945
