Stop Pretending

Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism

Stop pretending
your sexism is natural

Stop pretending
your homophobia
is healthy heterosexuality

Stop pretending
your evangelical orthodoxy
isn’t xenophobia

Stop pretending
your traumatic patriarchalism
doesn’t justify
and sanctify
therapeutic womanism

Stop pretending
your monotheism
isn’t,
once the veil of dualism is lifted,
predative anthro-supremacism.

Try remembering
that silent gifts,
like grace,
and redemption from hypocrisy,
are a lifetime healthcare process,
co-redemptive journey,
dance into integrity
compassion
pleasure
curiosity.

Here We Are

Here we are huddling together,
not yet our collective nightmare
nor our communal wetdream.

At our best,
struggling compassionately together
in-between future and past
polyculturally climaxing health
and monoculturing deep valleys
of dark pathology

At our worst,
competing against each other
unscientifically inorganic,
resenting what our elders too liberally exhausted before us,
and what our children and grandchildren expect us
to conserve for them.

Here we are,
re-imagining what becomes theoretically possible
for power of unmerited, and unmetered, light
and not brightness of monotheistic power

Re-creating multicultural serenity
re-storying nutritional economic pursuits
re-deeming MotherNature’s political passions

scientific and religious
organic and sacred
pleasures

While finding ever new positively healthy variables
to reproduce multi-regenerational soul food cooperatives,
savory economies of polyamorous healthcare
for geopolitically accessible win/win compassion

Without snapping food from each Other’s future mouths
like rabid wolves

Without commodifying
plasticizing
militarizing moist indigenous values
of EarthMother’s sacred living water
with rivered freedom to flow out
and rise again,
as we once valued gold
and salvation.

Here we are,
dry-humping Earth’s healthy win/win
poly-empowering potential,
huddling against past traumatic win/lose
unenlightened mono-colonizing retributions

Praying SkyFather will not collapse
before we have raped
our sacredly rapturous MotherEarth
irreligiously raw.

For Straight White Boys Only

Have you seen a Rockwell 1950’s Lemonade Wars?
Two girls, both white of course,
dressed for YoungRepublican success
scowling at each other on a pristine deserted street
of the tree-lined rich suburban variety,
arms folded across their angry
relentless middle-class chests,
shoulders hunched for their LoseLose anger battle.

Each stands before her lemonade stand,
across the street from one other,
each with a de-escalating sign
that originally says 10 cents,
but with a bold line across it,
replaced below with a somewhat smaller 5 cents,
also crossed out,
followed by a 2 cents price war notice,
about which the entire neighborhood apparently would not give 2 cents
to get economically
and politically involved.

Would this be less surprising if we were looking at two white boys?
How about two brown-skinned boys?
Does the humor have more of an edge to it?
Or perhaps it’s no longer funny at all.
Maybe more about just another racist stereotype
about not having two suburban cents between them,
about what is intelligent
multiculturally resilient
behavior.

Do you think it more likely two girls might have formed a cooperative?
Replaced their two tables into one larger street presence,
invitation present,

Faced their two signs both up and down the street
to better alert oncoming traffic seeking therapy,
splitting their take at the end of a lovely day
chattering away
with and between more convivial customers,
rather than aiming themselves across the street against each other.
weapons of mutual traumatic disdain,
heading toward long-term unenlightened
and disempowering contempt.

But, probably less likely for two boys from the 50’s and 60’s.
Today, I’m not so sure.
Perhaps boys and girls, and all between,
are learning a healthier,
more fertile
way of doing the cooperative math,
finding profit through ecopolitical interrelationships.

We have feminist psychology and therapy and medicine
and politics
and theology and history and sociology
and probably anthropology and neurology, for all I know.
Research and theorem proofing and disproofing
more likely to unfold through networking circles
of mutual rewarding nurture
rather than competitive marching
in bought-and-sold squares
of irrationally dispirited distinctions
without seminal natural difference.

New Economics is Feminist Peace-Restorative Economics,
about cooperatively nurturing healthy nutritional co-investments
rather than WinLose dyspeptic high risk
beat-down
over-testosteroned
divestment competition games.

So, why is New Economics not called Feminist EcoPolitics?
Maybe it is, but not where I live
and not where I have non-womanist read

but I still hope to see more cooperative non-warring lemonade stands
across suburban and urban and rural divides,
blending gender co-binaries to make lemonade out of,
well,… whatever you have of potential nurturing value

Discarding over-heated presumptions of gotta-have competition,
to pour out democratic power-assumptions of cooperative investment,
where Golden Rules apply transgenderally
as Golden Ratios reply transculturally co-invested co-binaries,
producing Golden Elixirs of inclusive consumer-producer satisfaction

This day we will have done well
and faithfully,
truthfully
and trustingly,
peacefully
and justly,
and not so unlikely
divesting StraightWhiteMale autocracy
to hell.

Dancing Divine Integrity

God choreographs integrity
of each healthy dancer’s moment
dancing wealth potential

Gaian synergistically evolving circles
and revolving spirals,
recycling interwoven co-binaries
depolarizing liberating v conserving
dancer justice conservation
dancing peaceful liberation
dialogos

Word standing orthodoxy
and Way dreaming orthopraxis

Performing dancers voicing
engaged dance choicing
throughout each day’s enlightened belonging
inside life’s health empowering circle

Circling each night’s lifetime longing for resilience
dancing outside longing
beyond love’s resonantly wealthy spirals

Of synergetic sacred dance
organic dancer integrity
of each healthy humane moment
for Gaia’s wealthy divine potential

Daytime synergy
inside dancing lively circles
nighttime re-weaving
re-ligioning
outside lovely longing dancer spirals.

Gaia crowns Sage dancers
with wealth of integrity
rooting Musicians’ healthy dances
wealthy sung

Standing up Sages
and dream dancing Muses

Music’s resonant belonging
reconnecting EarthTribe’s longing potential

Inter-religious dancing synergy
inner-weaving dancer integrity.

For how could a divine dance become
without a human dancer?
And why would we applaud a non-dancer
without a dance?

How could a sin become
without a sinner?
And why would we condemn a non-sinner
without a sin?

Growing PolyPathic Perception

“I am circling around love,
around the throbbing hum,
and I have been circling for thousands of days,
and I still don’t know if I am a wounded saint,
or a rainy dawn,
or a creation story.”
Rob Brezsny, in Pronoia

You know the term ionic?

Balancing, like energy finding its most neutral point of stable self-perpetuation.

Also dynamically bionic action across some unstable boundary,
co-relational threshold,
frontier of self and other
subject and object rediscovery.

Ionic stasis is the objective of bionic dynamic transactions,
rather like monotheistic
unitarian stability
may also become
polyamorous pantheistic
universal communication.

Do you know the Word
iconic?

Like a symbol of, yet also in and with some systemic quality
of which it is a participating part.
Like a sacramental funnel cloud
symbolizing continuous revolutions
of Earth’s recycling
reweaving
reconnecting
re-ligioning ecosystems

Dynamically polypathic
self-regenerative and other-referencing
across some stabilizing frontier for co-empathic faith
within a foundational trust, seminal good-faith win/win system
of deductive/inductive bicameral trans-actions,
yang/yin reiterating bilateral structure,
like uracil’s co-binary not/not relationship with cytosine,
double-binding
dipolar

crown liberally refining
root systemic defining
ionic conservational balance structures.

Iconic language generates binomially dynamic interfacing
interdependently re-ligioning active and reactive verbs
re-weaving dialectical distinctions
between ego-subjects and eco-objects
in self-perpetuating relationship
with each co-passionately communicating other.

Binomials?

Like in an out, up and down, positive and negative
co-relationships.
Appositional dipolarities that co-arise, mutually define.
You can’t have me without a you,
1 without a 2,
an out without an in,
salvation without sin,
a tomorrow without a yesterday,
a pleasure-resonant body cause
without a compassion-resilient mind effect.

Each bit of iconic polynomial (P) information
is also not not binomially dynamic communication.
Each P=N(NP) passion-truth/pleasure-lovely co-engagement
includes an appositional not untrue dispassionate disengagement,
implicated,
as in David Bohm,
bilaterally convexed/concaved, as in Bucky Fuller
explicitly belonging within convex singular subjects
and not yet implicitly longing concave dualistic objectives
without lovely
sacred
organic communication.

You know the term ironic?

Where an AntiChrist outcome
feels like it’s just the opposite anxious incoming
of what was anticipated
as a Christian objective?

Yes, like to become so fluidly flexibly stretched yintegrity
that you eventually develop a more ionically unstable
and unhealthy
YangRight v YinLeft
unbalancing despair
of wanting ionic conservational powers
and ironically needing bionically liberating love,
implicitly longing for bicamerally intelligent mind passions
co-arising bilaterally interdependent body pleasures.

To become so polypathically consilient that you begin to discover binomial rhythms
patterns
transmutations
regenerating complex ego/eco-logical prime
and indigenously primal
crown/root
sage/muse
mind/body
thought/felt
passion/pleasure iconic co-relationships,
ionic resonance of yintegral concave pleasure
into more resilient tensile strength
of Yang-ergodic
panentheistic
convex passions.

Ionically conservative communications
with ironically co-invested
binomial liberations
of polypathic crown/root
mind/body
ego/eco bicameral
bipartisan comprehension,
Left/Right
mono/poly-amorous
bi-hemispheric
convexly passionate
FatherSun salvific enlightenment
synergetically engaging
EarthMother co-redemptive empowerment.

Like LeftBrain ego-swelling ionic imbalance shrinks
as eco-indwelling of RightBrain
trust-passion/beauty-pleasure balance swells
into binomial confluence
bicameral complexity
bipartisan inter-religious creolization.

Bionic human crowns
with iconic divinely rooted bodies
appreciating liberal-conservational irony,
synergetically polymathic
and integrally polypathic.

Not not knots.

Who’s there?

You.

You who?

Yoohoo
liberally singing
through a transparently bilateral
co-arising appositional notYang/notYin
bi-hemispheric crown/root dynamic dance
within a binomially co-arising mind/body
passion/pleasure
unitarian/universe.

Nondual dipolarity is as difficult to orthodox
iconic irony grasp
as is not-1/not-0 co-binary
ionic orthopraxis clasp.

Because nondual not-this/not-that dialectical function
is for yangish orthodox monotheistic
anthropocentrically ionic grasping,
and for yin-flow orthopraxis
of polyamorous bionic clasping.

Said BlueWater to RedFire

Angry words have fear-mongering consequences,
said rhetorical behaviorist Hillary,
then Kamala, to Donald,
we would no more peacefully
and compassionately select a Donald Trump as President
than we would bipartisan co-invest to win Donald Duck for Empire Builder.

Words mean things,
said linguistic behaviorist Anat
to her fellow Economist Collective,
and the absence of kind words means something too.
We’re not sure what
but I place my bet
on more discommunicating eco-political
ego-apartisanship.

FatherSun enlightenment led toward EarthMother liquidity.
We know this from our indigenous history
of Yang/Yin Win/Win
environmental science books
but this is difficult to see
how exactly this could be
without sufficient silence to recall
what dipolar co-arising energies lie in wait
within this shared bilateral brilliance.

Fire and water,
progenitors of stardust
eco-empowering,
sacred ecologizing
fertile organic planets
birthing health moisturized wealthy regenerations.

To paraphrase bodhisattva Joanna Macy,
Co-invested communing economics
is not more wishful monopolistic thinking
(or messianic ideation).

Active political gathering verbs
enlightening sacred habitats
do not wait for renowned
divisive
drowned-out
dis-organic trauma issues
to be reverently resurrected
and religiously re-membered
by monoculturing Donald Ducks
or by some Anti-Other quacking
self-serving colonization
of patriarchal monotheistic
discommunicating misbehavior.

Active Hope wakes up in love-life’s ecological
EarthMother baptismal beauty
wonder
fertile light and flowing power sabbath
on who’s silently communing behalf
we can act in sacred light
for animated
organic
polyamorous co-empowerment.

To the responsible Hillaries, and Kamalas:
Follow positively cooperative light,
not so much darkly threatening
reactively monolithic
swampy miscommunication.

To the authoritarian Donalds:
Follow your competitively brilliant
SunFather responsive truth
with EarthMother beauty
loves polyculturing liquidity,
not so much your prized
monopolistic
and monotheistic
anthro-patriarchal
discommunicating fear and anger
military-industrialized pathologies.

Muse Speaks II

This is a revised version of a piece published in a poetry anthology a few years ago. I have added an ecocide-prevention perspective to the original suicide-prevention focus.

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like “Suicide is preventable”

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication PolyCulturing Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature
sacred/organic
win/win narrative

Matrimonially prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative
and irreligiously patriarchal
right-handed fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive suppression
is to fear comprehensive
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic,
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother’s feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life’s
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist,
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion’s
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
EarthMother Muse lustery

Organic passion’s sacramental
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic

Keeping America Safe

A prayer for God to bless Americans,
whether northern or southern,
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments
in global health and security.

No one “keeps” these northern confederations
of uniting states and provinces
safe from ecocide.

MAGA prayers for growing greatness
assume they have voted for great leaders
with concern that we are at risk
of failure to thrive

Ecologically
and economically
and politically
and culturally
and physically
and mentally
and spiritually safe hopes
and unsafe realities.

We are each on a continuum of health v pathology
as individuals,
as is each of our States,
as is this Nation as a whole ecopolitical system.

“America” refers to two continents,
one to the north and one to the south.
A U.S. safety and health security measure
must become attainable health
and responsible safety policy and procedure
for this quartile of living loving Earth.

Yet Republican leaders are heading in an ecologically unhealthy,
and therefore increasingly unsafe, direction,
more immediately for our coastal nations and
disuniting Right v Left sanctuaries
and irreligious monocultures.

Safe for, and from, what?

Traditional U.S.A. conservative minds care about Scripture
and the Constitution’s Preamble
and Declaration of Independence.
Here we read we are united in healthy pursuits of happy prosperity.
We also New Testament read we compose OneBody in freedom
to grow a great multicultural relationship with God,
free of dominating irreligious clergy,
free of unfaithful disinformation
and divisive partisan constraints,
restraints,
and economic taxation or fines
against practicing spiritual integrity

No great crusades against those who bow to the East.
If we all did,
then God might smile upon inter-religious goodness
and safety
and healthier greatness
and call us to a more fully engaging multiculturally wise day
mutually inviting sacred EarthTribe humility.

Does separation of inter-communing re-ligious declarations
and constitutions
and scriptures
grow north and south American greatness
and safer eco-political prosperity?

Towers of anthro-supremacist Babel
are radical building-greatness experiments
in part because polyamorous inter-religious systems,
institutions of intended regenerative resilience
toward safe and healthy ecosystemic governance
throughout sacred history,
unveil differences between powers of polytheistic love
and love of monotheistic power.

MultiCulturing a re-ligiously safe and healthy eco-political practice
is not ecologically equivalent
nor educationally equivalent
to dissociative secularization of a nationalistic society
and/or monotheistic privileged Cult.

We both undermine and oversell sacred Earth’s climate safety
by purging ourselves of gospel faith and empathic trust in each Other,
faith in Earth’s creative cooperative health and multigenerational resilience

Not bleaching synergetic interfaith out of public EarthFirst discourse,
especially education,
engaging deep listening-learning mindfulness
about our personally salvific states
growing polyculturing trust
and not monotheistic distrust

Communing positive faiths
not negative Othering prejudices
within our interior neurosystems
and across North and South American ecosystems
of a remarkably great and healthy and safe co-evolving,
polyculturing,
dynamic-revolving Earth.

Nature/Spirit nondualistic learning comprehends open-systemic
co-empathic loves,
integrities,
indigenously panentheistic truths,
synergetic trust,
polyculturing evolution of healthy climates
within and without
our transgenerational polyamorous selves.

Authentic prayers to keep the U.S. safe from absence of health
embrace ecological learning from past polycultural successes
and monoculturing mistakes

Which seems healthier, safer, greater?

  1. Aiming deadly and toxic ballistics at whoever we currently fear
    as aliens
    infestations
    immigrants inflicting terror from outside our own boundaries,
    or
  2. Aiming healthy climate cooperative policies and procedures
    at the neurosystemic traumas within our own sacred skins,
    and stated boundaries.

Prophets,
Medicine Men,
preachers and teachers,
shamans and seers,
saints and messiahs and bodhisattva warriors,
mystics and gurus,
even motivational speakers
and Anger Management therapists
throughout the history of languaged culture itself
have looked into our futures
within every color and multicultural creed
to remind us we will become positively known for our regenerational love,
our evolving capacity to cooperate,
as generously and gratefully as ecopolitically possible,
until no unhealthy monoculturing terrorist would choose to live in his lesser environment of fundamentalist exclusions
from neuro/eco-systemic peaceful wisdom.

Our best health and safety American offensive for positive change on Earth
remains as always
a multiculturally integrative
power of loving
global health caring
inter-religious (not irreligiously divisive) defense.

We already declared our interdependent political will to grow freedom
from supremacist religious
royalist rightwing tyrannies
against the great cooperative
multiculture-nurturing democratic faiths
of our Elders.

We have already written a Constitution for states of healthy democratic enlightenment,
for multicultural health
and global safety
and empowering co-invested prosperity.

We just need better re-ligiously prayerful practice.
Our lack of adherence to our own good-news shared
Holy Nature/Spirit traditional ideals
threatens further climatic
overly-competitive, ballistic distrust
and monocultural devolution,
disarray,
dissonance,
decay.

Keeping Earth safe
may be a monotheistic mandate.
If so, we become one united state of being free
for further multicultural evolution of health
and globally inclusive climate safety.

May our polyculturing
polyamorous God
continue to bless all our North and South Americans,
keeping us safe
from anthropocentric supremacy.

Wilderness Sanctuary

We are natural bodies outside
engaging spiritual souls inside

So also,
and more significant integrity
in this domesticated desecrating
lack of thriving

We are timeless souls
with spacious bodies

Sexual souls

to wild-muse ordination
of sensexual singing souls
communing sacred dancing bodies

Inside pleasure history’s

outside passion mystery’s

Primal Voices and Choices

Paranoia feeds on dark roots.
In full bloom, everything and everyone that happens against me
happens for a sinister conspiratorial reason.
This is my felt conjecture,
to which I respond
by struggling against trust
in Other’s monopolistic monocultural Wins,
so I might survive to tolerate
yet another scrappy day of paranoia.

Pronoia feeds on everything and everyone
not out to get me
but more in to let me
happen for a blessed season
with which I am invested to resonate,
including my fair share of struggling with,
but not against,
my WinLose enculturation
so we might thrive to mutually WinWin
yet another multiculturing
polypathic
Beloved Community Way.

This is our primal ecopolitical choice,
Both-And over Either-Or,
made each moment in time’s evolving articulation
deep learning incarnation
of days and nights
within this not-paranoia and not-pronoia
in-between identity,
risk with opportunity
conjectural life.

Conservative LeftBrain Either-Or
sees a bipolar world
of either I am saved
or demonic,
either I am part of the solution
or part of the problem,
either I am True
or I am False,
only pretending to be True
to get you to become False.

Liberating Elder RightBrain Both-And
fluid feelings
multi-sensually engage in a dipolar EarthTribe
in which I experience pronoia on healthy days
and paranoia on more challenging days,
I am an integral and authentic organic part
of EarthTribe’s living win/win resolution
and part of an irreligious ecocidal global problem,

I sometimes feel unconditional warm regard
with peak win/win opportunities to Trust
and usually also feel win/lose risks of MisTrust
and occasionally paranoid panic
with deep dissociative valleys
of shadows
of death,
lose/lose despairing DisTrust.

But, even should this become bipartisan political science,
bicameral neuropsychology,
bilaterally conjectured co-intelligence,
let us not delude ourselves into a hypnotic state of academic neutrality,
ambivalently pretending either choice is equally healthy,
when ecocidal outcomes are so clearly etched in patriarchal bones
of troubling dissociative history.

Love’s mutual promise clearly points toward evolutions
embracing elegant polyculturally resonant
healthy democratic systems furthering win/win wealth,
while paranoid fundamentalist God v Man terror
degenerates toward further traumatic pathology,
afraid of our own anthro-suprema-cast
dark blaming mind v shameful body

Conjecturing fundamentally irreligious
punishing
paranoid shadows.
