As a former football goalie, I can tell you that after only a handful free drops to the ground, you lose your fear of it. If the solders were clowning around and pretending to be shot all afternoon, it would be expected they'd get good at it, and also would have lost the "instinctive" fear of the ground that would cause them to stiffen their hand. I've discovered this myself. I'm not saying the shot is fake or real -- only that the forensic "evidence" of the hand completely ignores the power of humans to adapt :-) One other P.S. — the hand tells us nothing about the authenticity of the shot.

I just wanted to say: The reason we must care if the photo is real is precisely because we can be affected so deeply by staged events. If we are affected by staged events, those who seek to influence our opinions can stage events to take advantage of our emotional response.

The poem is about a boy watching as his mom hides her pain over and over again. She smiles as the father throws the fish to the ground because its just more hurt and death that she is so used to ignoring and smiling. When Bukowski says "my mother poor fish" he is meaning I think in a way that the mother is either already dead, and the father beating her is just his continual way of throwing her to the cat to be eaten. Or that she is so weak and defenseless as a house mom (which she seems to be) she is stuck in her bowl, just waiting like the fish, just waiting to die and be cast aside.

He's already dead by the time Capa has taken the picture. Many people have debated its authenticity; however the tell tale sign is his left hand...it's curled which is a good indication that he's already dead. If the picture was staged, he probably would not have cared to curl his hand, mimicking death. The soldier was shot from behind. He’s already dead by the time Capa has taken the picture.
