Porch Swing Questings

I have a lot of questions
questions
questions
he repeats
slowly creaking
and dancing
on our screened porch
peaking swing.

Radiant
in fiery ginger godliness,
mind centering omnipotence

He is so far ahead
of answers,
I feel embarrassed
to share them.

But, in not sharing
I become lost in caring
what he might think of me,
feel about we
without sufficient daring.

He swings anal retentive
in a whole new light
of previously unrepresented delight.

Ah! that could not be my question.
A hypothesis, perhaps
meriting further research;
new questings.

It feels important to me
this questing
for high and deep best male alert
dessert thick
and creamy,
dreamy wave of carnal delight,
absence of fright
or fight
in last and long dark nights
on seas of swings
just fucking right.

I want to squeeze
these pulsing questings
out of this maleness
female mess
so quickly
complexly asked
and chaotically given

Shriven
of clothes
but not masquerades
of closet questions
questing answers
not yet hard
and widely embraced
formed
invited graced queer notions

Of motions
and emotions
just right
and left
bilaterally in-between
bicameral lusts
and bisensual leisure
to swing all theories continuous
polypathic
polyphonic
polyvagal
polymetric
polyamorous ways

Of in
and out
and rebellious shout
for Earth’s most carnal freedom
of re-connecting
polycultural con-scientific re-ligioning
questions about straight and narrow
meets wide and deep

Why 1
slides so sexily
through 0
shape-shifting chakras
of natural
spiritual co-empathic pole
and holistic energy
like nuts
round bolts
and male
inside female bipolarities.

So many questions,
he gloriously proclaims
in majestic awe
meets lusty wonder

As his bi-gendered feet
gently invite
our graced swing
to sweep and seep defeat
with co-passioned
revolving Earth
back to Spring
and forth to Fall

One late summer morning
on our screened porch
secret secreting swing.

Healthiest Wealth of EcoFeminism

We each and all have, I suspect,
a felt awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into fascism,
as loyalty
risks bullying.

Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending weaponized caste supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of one’s State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitive polarization
predative politicization
of “self-made” capitalism

Rather than appreciating our solidarity
as anthropocentric nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty
to the Gaia Hypothesis of Win+Win integrity
of self+other governance

And no less self-identified sacred State
of Father Sun
or organic Tribe
of Mother Earth,
avoiding dissociative incontinence
whenever possible.

Heavenly Developments

Great
and small
spiritual teachers
glowingly preach
and promise disciplined pilgrim creatures
Nirvana,
Paradise,
Heaven,
featuring compassionate pleasures.

A timelessly perpetual climax
no natural teacher
this side of Eden’s regenerative garden
would dare speculate
we might reasonably anticipate
some great rewoven day
of universal redemption.

It is this Bliss,
too univocal
too monochromatic,
I begin to monotheistically question

If this climatic experience
is like a deep tight pond,
bright
yet stagnantly enclosed
in attractively fond

Rather than a continuously flowing river
of multicultural
multigenerational
polyamorous sensory experiences
spouting out from embodied pleasure mouths
back to light’s first faintly felt flicker

And forward
to bright’s most blissful moments
reflected
inflecting constant flowing functions
of powers robustly positive,
cooperative
compassionate changing paradise
returning me to this river
never entered
or exited
exactly this same fluid nirvana
conversing twice.

Not only because rivers
continuously flow
but also because humane identities
continue to curiously grow communion
sometimes far beyond any happy shores
our natural and spiritual teachers
have hoped to personally know.

Grasping Exhaustion

Maybe it’s just ageing me.
So, I’m asking,
as focused yet open
as I could ever hope to encompass,
transparently vulnerable

Do negative correlations
distancing inhaling
from exhaling
EarthMother’s sentient WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between organically grasping on
and sacredly letting off?

I am not sure why
this question could be economically
or politically
or psychologically
or neurologically significant

In this time of great polarized
climate EarthHealth v EconomicWealth cultural crisis,
and yet,
it persistently seems so
as I attempt,
in my Earth-bound solitude,
to exhale and dissociate from
left hemisphere verbal
monopolizing
monotheistic
demanding anthropocentric dominance

To inhale and grasp toward
more right hemisphere nonverbal
co-passion communing physical therapy
re-associating
re-syncing metaphysical thought
and physical feeling
re-communing organic and sacred
re-ligioning

Green

ultra-violet transforming
Earth’s climate health
grasping fresh inhalations
while exhausting stale patriarchal capitalism’s
straight white male preserving
reiterative hortatory,

Grasping and exhausting reactionary nonresponsiveness

Power Analysis

Power analysis
traditionally follows investment
and divestment of money
and kleptocratic energy.

Which is all fine and good,
but, as I recall,
the truth of sustainable power trends
has more to do with the healthy beauty
and the unhealthy ugliness
of where we choose to start
our co-invested redemption narrative
and where we choose to end
fixation on independent

Evolving from

Life’s Ups and Downs

Families
and communities,
hopefully becoming like extending families,
and that would make them some form of faith communities,
relying exclusively on top-down authorities
to empower today
and tomorrow’s cooperative faithfulness
to ourselves
to each other
to Earth
to the Universe, perhaps,
are also families and communities
under-invested
suboptimizing
bottom-up maturing co-empathic responsibilities
to learn nutritional elements
and synergetic trends we democratically trust
and multiculturally feel
for their optimizing wealth of health potential.

And, those other darker
not clearly articulating our Golden Ruling DNA-RNA heritage,
and those clearly distrusted
as anathema growing trauma’s immunities from growing healthy egos
and evolving nutritiously faithful communities
and Earth’s regenerative spiral trends,
bilaterally co-arising
ego/eco consciousness of Earth
as sacramental cooperative fulfillment
further seeking positive faithful WWW promise,
Win self-economics
Win Other ecologics
Win Earth ecosystemic
organic spacetime
0-soul co-investing moments.

What cooperative fulfilling authority goes down
equivalently invites and resonates with
co-empathic promising responsibilities
emerging from below shared daydreams,
not nightmares,
rising synergetically up.

Climates of health recycling down
so landscapes of wealthy global democracy
rise revolutionary
and sacramentally
and cooperatively
organically up.

Earth’s changing from above climate
seeps up and sweeps down
into each community’s communicating climates
ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic
creolizing and transubstantiating
into and around
each individual’s internal climates
of organically faithful experience
and desecrating despair, dismay, competing dissonances,
and, so, thereby,
sacredly vice versa,
preferably more actively cooperative Win+Win
than reactively competitive Win v Lose
capitalistic and patriarchal
over-extended
and extractive
gamesmanship.

Families
as organic communities
cooperate best both sweeping up
and seeping sacredly down together
of and for tomorrow’s greatest polyamorous faithfulness,
and minimal monoculturing
climates of despair.

Public Sector Predators

I have lately noticed
Win v Lose bottom-line business competitors
lead within for-profit rabidly accelerating circles
and are not thereby well prepared
to intelligently produce effective robust outcomes
in a more Win+Win democratic public resonance role,
elected or appointed
Artificial or anthropocentric.

I have further noted
general decline of original democratic public servant roles,
revolutionarily replaced by a competing public predator CEO role,
pirating political powers
to better hoard aristocratic economic royalty rewards.

This has been the stuff of history,
fall of Empires,
but also for-profit failing corporations.

It is these latter corporate failures
even beyond more vulnerably protected democratic
and inter-religious losses,
where authority of position
includes authority to continue employing others
in your business
or setting lowly employees free
to market themselves elsewhere,
for democracy enriching profit
or for self-serving quarterly producing profits
for absent short-term disinvested owners
and their equally self-serving managers
Ruthless corporate minds
without co-empathic bodies,
Caste preservationists
Religious professionals, I suppose,
rather than the old school
public servant model.

Living in a self-seeking climate of growing pathology,
where schools neither mentor nor bother to even lecture
the socially cooperative primacy of mutual caregiving,
grace of gratitude both served and received,
for civic responsibilities growing into interdependent authorities,
nor are parents necessarily skilled leaders
of mutually co-passionate Win+Win
ecopolitical skill-set development.

For these reasons,
and probably far remedially more,
it seemed right and normal,
good and proper,
that the best cooperatively judicious diplomats
of and for public policies and government procedures,
whether solely self-governing or also other-governing,
would be those with public win+win bipartisan backgrounds,
rather than private predative sector unforgiving foregrounds,
understudies of evolutionary Might Makes Reactionary Right.

Yet this model of competing ruthless command
just now appears a Commons lowering denominator
for both public and private sectors,
against more multiculturally cooperative wisdom.

It should be no more a surprise
to a U.S. President
that Presidents do not have unmitigated personal powers
of information disclosure
nor of disinformation fabrication,
of energy sharing and conserving
nor of energy hoarding for further profligate self-serving
further autonomously unmitigated powers
of revenge and competing campaign egomanias,
than surprise to a CEO
of any healthy interdependently-managed corporation
where private sector mutual service
and mutually subsidiary authorities
are co-responsibilities of all
who breathe and think maturely,
speak and listen democratically,
with cooperative heart beats
both diastatic wealthy
and systolic healthy,
both full and empty of ego/eco-viral powers,
mutually grateful
for all who live and laugh
midway between fully sacred longing is
and yet not yet organically belonging.

Public private servants,
consuming no more relational powers
than we can individually and collectively reproduce,
replace,
recycle
regenerate
reconnect
re-ligion

Because more recently
and cynically
we elect and normally appoint
Public Servants
based on their prior experience
as Private and/or Partisan Predators,
wealth and power accumulating hoarders
at their capital top
bucks stop here
in this pirate place
my allies and I have bought and sold
to defend and preserve
that we don’t public service get
what we do private sexist and racist and elitist pest
invest in.

Application forms
and ballots
all seek Win+Win caregivers,
too often counted and selected
by Win v Lose bully Presidents,
wearing Chief Executive Officer hats
rather than carrying Lead ComPassion Mentor portfolios.

Legislators and judges
educators and parents
achieve more wholesome outcomes
by remaining students of wide ecological
and deep neurological listening
than by becoming teachers
of Ayn Rand’s anthropocentric capitalist economics
for antisocial patriarchal climbers.

After School Jam Session

How was school today?

Fine.

Did you learn anything important?

Maybe. I’m not sure yet.

Really? What are you considering?

We talked about Howard Odum’s natural trinity
of altruism.

Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken over deep learning development.
Who is Howard Odum
and how does his natural trinity
diverge from my traditional Holy Trinity?
Or, maybe it doesn’t.

Howard Odum was an early systems theorist
who studied ecosystemic trends
of nutrition building and disintegrating
of sustainable polycultural balance
and runwaway monocultural disasters
like climate and culture and communication
anti-nutritional pathologies.

Did you just say
climate change derives from monocultural overshoot,
an anthropocentric weed patch
taking over our communal garden,
also known as organic Earth?

I guess,
but in this case the weed patch
is over-commodified
LeftBrain dominant
anthropoids.
Odum’s natural trinity of altruism
is about climates of interdependent health,
and not for developing monocultural monopolies
like monotheistic anthropocentrism.

I’m sure I missed this class,
if they even had it back in my Baby Boomer day.

You probably just got the Holy Trinity part,
when you studied metaphysics.
I don’t think they were teaching organic physical theory
when you took MultiCultural Civics Organization classes;
although Howard was published well before your high school years.

It probably took a while for educators
to sort out the health and wealth significance
of ecosystemic balance,
rather than merely lecturing against issues
of unsustainable imbalances
hoping for healthy democracy optimizing,
polyculturing,
and, thereby, self+other polyamorous systems
as win+win wellness,
and not so much win v lose sickness.

Anyway, so is there a summary version of this natural trinity
that you might share?

Well, yes, I suppose the basic idea is as simple
as any convex and therefore also concave co-binary triangle.

I’m already lost.
No recall of convex and concave
in my Holy Trinity.

Oh, right…
you missed postmillennial Bucky Fuller metrics too.
Let’s see…
OK, Odum’s natural trinity
is a dynamic model for balancing organic energy investments,
but at two levels.

The individual anthropocentric biosystem.
And, the collective EarthMother pro-life support system,
conceived as a nondualistic
ongoing space/time
body/mind ecosystem
sharing Earth together
as one organic/sacred
pleasure/compassion-seeking Body.

At both of these levels,
individual and higher-order interdependent civil,
about a third of energy invested into the system
is required for healthy metabolic regeneration
of each and every organic ego-system.

Another consumed third of energy
feeds back to (concavely) sustain mutually subsidiary bioregions,
providers of interdependent fuel and energy and relationship.

The last captured third of energy
produces re-investments outward
to what Odum calls
“higher-order [convex] system controllers.”

Do you have an example?
What might be one of my potential investments
in a higher-order nurture/nutrition system?

Well,
in class
the hierarchical trinity we used
was grass in relationship with rabbits
in relationship with a predator,
like a fox,
for example.

So the rabbit’s energy waste fuels the grass,
and the more vulnerable rabbits feed the foxes.

Yes, especially the young and lame.
The ones who see and sniff and move less well.

I don’t see how that works out so well as a trinitarian third.
If you are young or lame or blind, especially.
But how does Odum approximate this one-third math
at the individual creature level?

That’s what we’re talking about in class.
I would imagine
if you view successfully hunted and devoured
from a predator’s perspective
you might feel the prey had made nearly a 100% re-investment,
perhaps omitting the larger bones,
in your higher-caste controlling species.
Perhaps a hungry pride of lions.

This natural trinity of altruism
seems to suffer in the end
from gluttonous taking without needing
and less compassionate giving without needing to be asked,
which is what I thought altruism was more about.

I suppose Odum was imagining a healthy polyculturing life-support system
as a resonantly deep-concave and wide-convex whole organic system,
in which about one third of ego-support generation,
as seen from a monotheistic perspective,
redeems the other two-thirds sacrifice
by feeding the metabolic thrival needs
of higher-order predators,
controlling risks of overpopulation,
leading to monocultural climates and communications
of descending, and increasingly rabid,
monopolistic pathology.

You mean like mother pigs eating their young
to better feed those remaining in her litter?

OK, if that actually happens
I’m not sure I wanted to know about it.
Also, if that happens,
then we are talking about an out of balance survival system
between older and younger generations within the same species.

Perhaps Odum was speaking of some Gaia Hypothesis balance
of energy and communication transfers.
Really big picture.
Global.
Polypathic energy exchanges.

And maybe higher order systems
are not limited to upper-caste predators.
Perhaps a higher order ecosystem
might nurture bioregional victims
of Earth’s imbalance,
especially our young and wounded
unenlightened and disempowered
by sensory blindness
and malnourished ego-identity expansion,
continuation

Until we each rediscover
that pain and loss and death
could be revisited
reconceived
reconnected
re-ligioned
as equal to two-thirds of compassionate life
and polyculturing gain
through monoculturing absence,
concave emptiness,
loss of egocentric Win v Lose investment,
divestment of upper-caste monotheistic self
as re-investment in Whole PolyCultural System
compassionate communion balance.

So, that would be the inter-religious connection, then,
between Odum’s natural trinity of altruism
and Christianity’s Holy Trinity
of and for EarthMother’s polytheistic
polyamorous altruism.

Where is Holonic Spirit
in this nondualistic trinity
of convex-eco control
with concave-ego nurturance
co-binary producing resilient healthy wealth
of ego/eco-systemic Whole Organic Earth?

That would be the middle ego/eco
co-passionate/pleasure
mind/body balance,
growing out to extend family identity
to include gratitude for annoying cousins
unenlightened politicians
disempowering judges
extending on through our individual biosystemic losses
pains
aches
depressions
systemic traumas
dispassionate/displeasing challenges
to personal higher order thrival.

So, with all that said,
do you both think and feel
that you learned anything enlightening
and empowering at school today?

As I said, maybe.
I’m not sure yet.

Radically Religious Love

We are surrounded,
sometimes aversively beset,
upset,
by diverse too hot v too cold
felt attributes of love.

We have each known and felt candidates for resonance,
waiting for our more precise,
yet also generous,
articulation.

Those remaining who believe unfettered capitalism
must grow for sake of appropriate and necessary civil liberties,
secured and maintained
even with military industrialized precision of commodified violence
and at least threat of strong and superlatively armed offenses,
abuse and systematic nutritional neglect,
within our own corporal and capital punishing tribes,
wherein defensive strategies have grown dissociated from conserving organically resonant health
in our local and state armed militias
contractually ready to represent us through arrest and fines
for crimes of poverty
and self-medication,
addiction and absent self-esteem
and lack of behavioral health and safety assurance,
and in our well-capitalized politicians,
not necessarily experienced with judicious win/win diplomacy
even within their own extended family lives,
living in lack of love-leadership cities;
this BusinessAsUsual remaining ungrateful portion
of Earth’s self v other defensive citizens
must be invited by and through mentors
refining attributes of sacred compassion
and organic pleasure.

We need to cool down strong words for sacred outrage.

It has been said
God’s love, like humane love,
can be ruthless against injustice.
Better: relentlessly for peace.

It has been said
Love sometimes requires us to behave savagely.
Better words encourage us to behave wildly and radically
and profoundly forgiving
with gratitude to GaiaEarth
for this anthropocentrically held
extravagant and elegant
co-operative vocation.

It has been said
Sacred love is committed to destroying illusions
born of anger and fear and hatred’s nightmares,
mistrust growing active distrust
of this Win v Lose devolving
descending
species of would-be and self-proclaimed anthro-supremacists.

Yet it is more accurate and precise
to see
and smell
and taste
and hear
and grow love’s full yang/yin
win/win commitment
to cognitive/intuitive double-bound
thought/felt illusions,
born of monotheistic monopolistic idolatry
of and to and for Ego’s greatest Autocratic Caste Preservation Project
and Elder RightBrain’s rabid paranoid-bipolar resistance
to LeftBrain deductive dissociative dominance

No nondualistic co-binary inductivists invited

for PeaceWarriors restoring JusticeMentors,

What sustains life are sacred values,
so what cannot sustain becomes pathological.

Matriarchy is about nurturing and care-giving,
protecting life and conserving cooperative energies;
yet that implies that patriarchy devolves to controlling
and competitive uncare-receiving,
destroying life as Win v Lose necessary
to violently offend
furthering failures of energy.

Patriarchy: Producing for this Win v Lose generation.
Matriarchy: Conserving with next Win+Win generations.

Don’t call violence defense,
call it what it is,
offensive militarism
kleptocratic nationalism

A fratricidal nationalistic ecopolitics
is also a suicidal Win v Lose ecologically cynical strategy
against future generations
who will never become,
never emerge
because we refuse to prioritize
Win+Win bilateral nurturing processes
of co-empathic conservation,
mental and physical healthy climates;
basic synergetic hygiene.

Freedom Seekers
was the next generation vision
of our Original Freedom Fighters;
not so much to merely perpetuate younger fighters
rather than seekers first.

Seek and ye shall find.
Don’t seek,
and we still fight on.

This is neither the time to become hypnotized
terrorized
or even merely reactionary against MAGA issues
in this postmillennial moment of climaxing climate pathologies,
our perfect storm;
yet it is also a critical time
to not continue being responsive
to patriarchal anthropocentrism
in all its …ism aspish apeish forms.

Why should U.S. women continue paying federal taxes?
Investing further resources in Win v Lose politics,
when we could, instead,
invest in Win+Win cooperative ownership
of Earth as our mutual share-held Commons.

We could instead invest our tax dollars
in planting trees
and building stronger cooperative ownership
including deep learning and healthing ego/ecosystems,
and investing in Win+Win eco-political,
and personal,
sacred and naturally regenerative games,
work and recreation,
networks of positive matrimonial co-discernment,
springing up from pockets and guilds
of not patrimonial
mutual subsidiarity.

This is not just a U.S. women’s federal tax boycott,
but all women who feel suppressed
and know oppression of cooperative investment
in and of and for future generations,
all conservationists of Earth’s healthy futures,
including our own,
and our families,
and our neighbors,
all allies boycotting nationalism
to co-invest in global cooperative nutrition-building networks
of Win+Win sacred ecology,
both multicultural
and polypathic polycultures
regenerating resonant health
from (0)-soul now
through interdependent evermore
Deep Learning Time for CoOperative ReEducation.

Nationalism
is a patriarchal political landscape problem.
Matriarchal eco-repatriation
is our ecopolitical climate of resolutions.
All living systems vote yes with compassion communicating lives;
no with our degenerative anthropocentric ego-exhaustion.

If not now,
when?

If not you,
whom?

If not here,
where?

If not this regenerative potential,
then what remaining degenerativity?

If not for love,
passion,
pleasure,
then why bother?

Military offensive strategic norms
derive from fear that cooperative love
will not and cannot grow powerful enough
on the other side of a line we have drawn
in our minds.

And this fear
is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
For where fear rules our inter-relational policies
and international procedures,
then love must thereby fade
from a fear-mongered collective mind
abandoned to pursue monopoly games,
drawing ever more fading lines
in quicksands of mistrust
in and on Earth’s profoundly robust integrity,
standing-by nutritional potential
for nurturing mutual contentment.

It’s not that competitive win v lose capitalism is always bad
or intrinsically evil,
it’s more that cooperative Win+Win capital investments
work better
longer
for healthy conservation of multiculturing wealth.

No taxation
without informed representation.
A classic ring
with a touch of joyful zing.

Taxing anthropocentric over-investment
in sustaining caste-privileged life
desecrates democracy,
so what cannot
and must not pretend to
sustain ecological wealth
becomes pathological kleptocracy.
