For some reason I am remembering an interview I never saw. JFK Jr interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Where she asked him if he remembered stepping forward and saluting his father. And he said, basically, I have no memory of it. I do not remember it. And I Would like to imagine that he said More About it, more of substance. I would like to imagine that he said That while he has no memory of it He Remembers The moment the same way anyone else in America does. And that while that was his body that performs the act that was his mother That guided or directed it. And while he would like to accept responsibility or take credit if that is the right Term, He could not Do that. But that also his mother was Not entirely sure what the hell she was doing either. And if she deserves credit it is well earned but this was not something for which she was guided. It was random. Have you seen that look on her face? I think it is On Air Force One right before LBJ Takes the oath of office. She looks Confused and lost. And who wouldn’t be confused and lost? When JFK Jr died in that plane crash I called my mother And she was Very sad, But in a way I did not understand at the time. I think she still believed in Camelot and all that bullshit. But that gets back to JFK Jr And the Oprah interview and how I wish He could have said something more introspective. I would like to think that he could have put it in perspective and said that if Camelot existed today, well, That would be impossible to begin with, but that if an assassination Such as Occurred In 1963 happened today The mother/wife would not be allowed to take control of the situation. It would be the likes of Oprah Winfrey, no offense, And Rush Limbaugh and The O’Reilly Factor And That short guy on CNN, Can’t think of his name now. That is who would take control of the public perception And the Posterity Of the events. The family would have no part of it, they would be sidelined. But does that mean that Jackie Kennedy knew what the hell she was doing? no. And that is the beauty. When I saw the Kennedy Memorial at Arlington It felt frozen And even sterile. Beautiful, yes but Not A masterpiece Of depth. More than the Zapruder film or all the ink spilled over the horror of that day I think that the memorial And the eternal flame Capture the Instant Of innocence lost. Why am i standing naked in my kitchen at 7 a.m. talking about this into a tablet computer device?
