Given Us The Myth

Police officers would duck while

criminals would shoot,

television has given us the myth

of the raging pursuit,

the high speed chase,

the adrenaline it would bring,

and you could make the case,

but in truth there is no such thing,

if there were,

God knows the police cruiser

would blow its shocks,

and throw a rod after a dozen blocks,

some of the cruisers would look like

they survived the worst storms,

and the police officers would be filling out forms,

explaining to the commanding officer

the reasons why they drove,

a city owned cruiser into an early grave,

television has put us in a dark cave,

sitting in fantasy we crave

waiting to be saved.

Sadly, car chases are not the only thing, which Hollywood has gotten wrong. One only has to look to the protrayal of the Transgender community, to realize they don't feel comfortable with our stories, to share with the world. Using bio women play transwoman, in the film, TransAmerica, when there are plenty of transwomen actress that could played that role. Sorry, for my ranting here, some things need to be said, outloud.
