“If I could turn you on,
if I could drive you out of your wretched mind,
if I could tell you
I would let you know.”
R. D. Laing
Ronald Laing
was a troubled psychotherapist
and a notoriously terrible non-dad
who heard dark voices in double-binding schizophrenia.
Knots of contradictory negative emotions,
needs,
troubling demands and troubled expectations
non-verbally underlying attachments,
sensed relationships
between two people
and within families,
and other,
larger
eco-politically Stated, and officious, Voices.
I need you
to want to be with me
not because I need you
to care for me
and about us.
I do not need you (society, Earth)
to want to be with me
because I need you
to care for me
and about us;
regeneratively double-bonded.
Laing could not see
these two “not”s
as both/and resiliently knotted
at peace with each other’s harmonic in-between strains;
The geometrics
of and in-between not-not
can equal a positive.
His solution was inclusive rebellion.
I wonder what mine will be,
has been.
I hope for a 2020 revolution
