Bogus Bullet Theory Dream

I was at MLK Park in Indianapolis
where RFK announced King’s death in 1968:
the Landmark for Peace statue depicts them
reaching out to each other. When I walked up, 

they were wagging their bronze tongues. Trump 
knew the assassin was coming, both agreed:
Trump wanted to give him a role. MLK was despairing; 
“This manipulation of reality seemed so hard 

to overcome,” he said. RFK just saw Shakespearian
tragedy.“All the world’s a stage,” he said. It 
wasn’t the first time used a good quote instead 

of an original thought. Often this was good enough.
But not for King who replied, “I’ve been to the
mountaintop and I’ve seen his shit-stained mouth.”
