CoOperative Mindfulness

Every newly innocent day
after complexly creolizing night dreams
I hear and smell and taste and see and feel
some thing
some co-related becoming
that more and less
kills me
with delight and terror,
that leaves and comes over me,
another weedy needle
in Earth’s haystack
celebrating integrity’s light.

This is what I am born and unborn for–
to taste and see
to ecologically speak and theologically listen,
to lose my fragmented ego
inside this just-right healthy spirited world–
to instruct our virally competing RightWing dominance
over and over
in co-acclimating joy
and Left-wealth of Right-health acclamation.

Nor am I thinking and feeling
about the ecstatic exceptional,
the terrifying LoseLose fearful,
the madly dreadful,
the lavishly extravagant
loves and hates–
but of the everyday.

The green commons,
the ordinary grey-scaled drab,
the daily ego-withering practiced presentations
competition principles
WinLose evolutionary policies
LoseLose devolutionary powers.

Good bilateral intelligence
of deductive thought
with inductive feelings,
EcoSoul reminds EgoSelf,
How can we help each Other
by healthing our Selves?

Egos grow wise
with such WinWin teachings
as both these and not not those–

The untrimmable in-between Left with Right bright
of Earth’s co-acclimating enlightenment,
Ocean’s fertile shine,
Prayers nutritionally offered
out of strong-rooting common grass…

Math Quiz, Fullerian

You’ve heard,
Mathematics is a metric,
quantitative language,
about Universal relationships,
double-binary, as bosonically articulating polynomials,
variables, changing across abstractions of time,
autonomous spaciated places,
spaces.

How might we co-define
universal bosonic polynomial (+) language,
robust think/feeling strings
of healthiest experiential history,
as also unitarian holonic experience
of not not (-,-) polypathically nurtured integrity?

Why might this become
both personally (ego+)
and bilateral politically (-ego/-eco)
co-passionate inside/outside inter-relationship?

When do bosonic autonomous universes
co-refine
holonic interdependent synergy?
When do they not, if not not oxymoronically forever?

What might a yang-dominant secular Boson
wish
and actively hope
could also become
a yin-prominent sacred Holonic-CoRelationship?

Where do we find atomic Boson spatiated universes
dipolar co-arising
wave-linear bilateral Holonic unitarian-integral time?

Who would not outside care
to WinWin inside co-passion
our polynomial bosonic
language deductions
with our polypathic holonic
co-relational inductions?

Perhaps you’ve also seen,
Metric systems
are a ZeroSum
quantitative bilateral language
about Universal BosonYangs
and Unitarian Holonic YinFlow CoRelationships,
atomic/wave-linear co-arising development,
InFormation/ExFlowation co-gravitating regenerations.

Unsettling Spirits

Oddly unsettling,
how The UnHolonic Spirit compels conservative,
defensive feelings
of autonomous ego-righteousness
when we see our physically healthy robust selves
elitely privileged,
maybe even aristocratically WinLose kleptocratic
as short-term necessary
for ego’s Business As Usual convenience.

The Yang-expedient violent communicator,
Creator of WinLose GetReal natural systems,
privileged predator success
over non-elite prey,
failing myth-tellers,
perpetual provokers,
defenders of privileged competitions,
economies
and polities
and even domestic family relationships,
parent v adolescent child,
where Daddies know best

Especially after sustaining chronic stress
from State-sponsored military-industrializing unschools
marketing hate
xenophobic automated rifle-bearing
selling fear of Aliens
feeding on claustrophobic LeftBrain dominant anger,
fed and profusely watered,
engorged

Anger about what, though?
I am never oppressively/suppressedly sure.
Separation from MotherEarth’s health/wealth
WinWin nondualistic
ego/eco-balancing
internal/external
theological/ecological
warm wet womb
of nutritionally promising happier
healthier lifetime days?

An originally radical democratic nurture-economy
does feel far afield,
this side of Kingdom’s Paradise,
holding a gun to guts of threatening enemies
while fearing anonymous threats
from unruly LoseLose heads of enemies.

Maybe fear
that God the Yangful Father
seems more frighteningly co-present,
especially since pathological climate pollution science
came out of Her Gaian ecofeminist closet,
Angry Father feels monoculturally more powerful
than healthy-wealth flowing multicultural HolySpirit
of non-elite everyday creolizing co-operations
casually experiencing positive WinWin deviant psychological balance.

Those seeking to bicamerally restore democratic justice
rather than redistribute punishing plutocratic extractions
by overpowering these despairing poor
we will always have with us
to clean our WinEgo/LoseEco toilets,
pick our prickly/gooey cotton,
build our empirical LeftBrain dominant
RightBrain prominent
pyramids of ego/eco-empowerment.

Oddly unsettling,
how The UnHolonic Spirit compels conservative,
defensive feelings
of autonomous ego-righteousness
when we see our physical pyramid-productive selves
elitely privileged for WinLose competitions,
rather than WinWin healthy co-operations.

Fight and Flee Free

Some would say,
although not LaoTse,
and maybe not the Lakotae,
certainly not Animae,
or my Aunty Mae
on Mary Jae,

Egos just wanna fight or flee
or something strangely Other
than with or against
ego-viral identity.

But Taoists
healthy-Yang with wealthy-Yin display,
In-between fight and flee
lies our more ambiguously WinWin transubstantiating Way,
already there,
for those who Left with Right see
what we could be
with actually quite a bit more integrity.

Synergy between opposing Elite/NonElite emotions
need not necessarily end in quick-sand
UnHoly Spirited chaos
of alien ambiguous Other,
mere positive or negative or not-not double-boundup intentions
hiding on Other side
of ego fragmentation–

Integrity remains Earth’s original eco-interdependent
RightMind intuition
of and for creative dipolar apposition
between active fight and passive flee
non-abusive
non-neglectful
non ego-narcissistic
non anthro-hubris
WinWin RealTalk communication,
too non-violently curious to fight,
too non-aggressively courageous to flee.

Sometimes,
between fight and flee
and you
and me,
I prefer to listen to divinely majestic mountains
and whisper through Earth’s HolySpirited valleys
promising to return
to our originally democratic
blue-green surfing sea.

SomeTimes

Everything growing so wild
and faithfully beneath
the sky,
wondering why we are the terrible
part of creation

Yang privileged
to refuse our yin-feminist flowering,
our own more cooperative ownership
and transparently universal management
of yang wants,
diseased not wants,
with, and not against,
yin wealthy yet non-elite
feeling

Now suppressed absence
of healthy resilient
green echoing eco-school
appealing.

Scriptures of Communion

In prose,
Writers hope to accurately capture
both felt and thought experiences,
realistic and unrealistic,
in a way that suggests
our writer knows and can deeply feel
the differences and similarities
between realistic and not so much.

Poets hope to not only capture
accurately felt and thought experiences,
realistic and unrealistic,
natural and spiritual,
but share this internal experience
embedding and thereby challenging
writers’ readers in shared language of communion.

Black Life Shatters

My oldest son,
one of the few Earth-mattering
Earth-shattering
Black lives
I was made to protect
to guide
by eco-righteous WinWin acts
and co-passioning words,

Felt, and therefore was, disempowered,
worthless,
like helpless prey among predators
who listen to the same rap,
same urban Earth writes,
same multicultural performances,
When a gun was dispassionately pointed at his head.

This was only tangentially about an economic exchange
primal, personally and politically, targeted.

He felt violated,
and threatened,
already home and identity invaded,
when forced to hand over his car keys,
and the back door
and front door
keys to his home.

He knows these guys,
where to find them on Facebook,
at the casino,
in the dance and rap clubs
where he invested
infested
while still in high school.

Urban night school, unEarthly,
earthy
darkly sensual.

He does not know where to find them in church.
Gospel music is for grandmothers.
Liturgical dance,
sacred rituals,
are for outside romance
on warm wet wombed erotic nights.

He felt naked
exposed
terrified when they demanded his last dime.

This is his biggest and baddest bully,
his most deeply echoing “LOSER!”
His darkest dirge
speaking of suicidal revenge.

Or prison,
where Earth’s great white patriarchal State,
will put a gun to his head
and force him to remove his clothes
and bend over
to assume the even more lost position,

Raped of any future hope
to rest outdoors
after an ecstatic liturgical dance
under a romantic full moon
rapping
and dancing
ultra-violet variations
on a warm wet wombed
bright delight.
Not So Bright Delight

You talk our talk
like Black Lives Matter,
but you walk your own walk
as Black lives shatter,
Brown lives stutter,
Green lives splinter.

What’s a-matter?

You want to want
all lives to splatter?
Might hear to hear
RealTalk ain’t chatter,

You eat to eat
friends heads on platters.
We taste to see
your fake get fatter.

Your act is tired.
Your allies scatter.
You need to feed
on guns’ disaster.

Come on now, Felix,
What’s a-matter?
Where’s your commitment
to Black Lives Matter?

Kleptocracy

I’m reading this book about germs and guns and steel
and pre-history
and human history,
predators and prey,
and people praying they won’t be predatored.

You know,
light bedtime reading.

So, this guy who wrote the book…

No, not the Daniel Quinn thing.
Quinn thinks the beginning and end of our nutritional civilization story
is food production.
He forgets we can also hear cooperative health
and overly-rabid pathologies,
like CEOs calling “bleed the poor to feed those already too rich”
“tax cuts”.

I mean,
I guess they are tax cuts
if you happen to be in the top 20% US income bracket,
but that seems to miss the healthier democratic point
that Lower 80% Lives Matter Too.

No, not Quinn,
it is this younger guy,
Jared Diamond,
who probably never even met Thomas Merton.

Diamond mentions “kleptocracy”
where I would have used “plutocracy”
or “aristocracy”
rather than “democracy”
but this sounded too kleptomanic
to nutritiously feed integrity
of national health
and personal
and family
and non-elite wealth.

So I had to look up this kleptocracy word
to see if it might be the economist’s view
of the political scientist’s view
of plutocracy.

And, sure enough,
here it is,
right, but feeling very wrong,
on dictionary.com:
“A government or state in which
those in power exploit national resources
and steal”

This sounds familiar
from the Declaration of Independence,
in which the original USA forefathers
informed the British aristocracy
that we are all done
with the stealing of natural and human resources
thing they called “taxes” and “fees”
and the white male property owners
(including slaveowners)
called tribute
and extortion.

Meanwhile I was listening to the Cohen testimony
about some plutocratic kleptocrat
racist extortionist
buying and selling his white privileged way
into our way too WhiteHouse
extolling the unabashed value of WinLose capitalism,
so long as those born into “Win” households
remain unfettered from their colonizing
and extorting
and racist
and homophobic
and xenophobic lack
of any semblance
of traditional Christian virtues
or Islamic virtues,
or Buddhist virtues,
or Taoist virtues,
or Hindu virtues,
or Jewish virtues,
or democratic constitutional well-being
and prosperity virtues.

So, there you go,
I’ve already learned my new word for this plutocratic day
and kleptocratic nightmare.

Who knew?
We have words for everything
someone might ever need
to slice and dice
and serve up,
like food production
to grow less healthy
uncivilized undemocracies.
