A Confluence of Ironies

This image shows the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald,
then on the FBI payroll, shortly after the murder of
JFK.

The assassin (?), in flight, gravitated with
unconscious, instinctual insect ease, moth-
like, toward a zone of safety, haven from the
swarming streets. Quickly , he was devoured
in the warm, dark, silent maw of the physical
theater.

Modern circles of Hell: Oswald (?) kills President.
Oswald enters taxi. Oswald stops at rooming house.
Oswald leaves taxi, Oswald kills Officer Tippet.
Oswald sheds jacket. Oswald is captured.

He escaped into a movie house.

The lamb is a gentle symbol to
all but those who shear them.
