I enjoyed revisiting this piece published 9 years ago, almost to the cold December day. Inspired by a blonde Texas Bombshell advocate for the first TrumPublican administration.

Dear Toni,

I saw you on The Daily Show
the other day
having your way
with Trevor,
or was it the other way around?
Not sure.

I’m also not sure where we first went wrong,
but I’m sorry for once having thought you my dumb blonde beauty.
Clearly this is not who you are
as you continue to play our family’s conservative version
of Twinkle Twinkle Patriotic Star
and Patriarchal Stripes,
Flags and National Anthems.

Slow as deep rich honey,
if you wrap yourself any tighter
in our conservative-at-risk Patriotic Flag,
I worry you might not find enough healthy air
to breathe both in and out
long-term regenerativity.

I began hearing you as not just narcissistic
and uncaring about the health and security of my Galveston grandkids,
not to mention our whole extended family
of white male and female children
along coastal Texas over the next 100 years,
but sometimes I think you still confuse healthy conservatism,
which goes way back in our matriarchal nurturing days and ways,
with what sounds more like nihilistic condemnation
of any robustly humane future
for resilient economic wealth
and politically empowering ecological health,
nondually co-arising like Grandmother Moon
and Gaia Earth,
who gave birth to matriarchally conservative nurturing humanity,
and therefore also still organically healthcaring biosystemic you,
my honey sweet smart girl.

I wish you had spent less time defending your right to freely express your mind and feelings,
which, indeed, brother Trevor was not contesting,
so you could have spent more time sharing your mindfulness
about our healthy and secure future,
which continues to be at degenerative risk
by relentlessly too much LeftBrain dominant
white male plutocratic abomination,
as if federalist (not nationalist) Christian Enlightenment ForeFathers
would have wished to see my grandkids
moving from Galveston,
toward Houston,
our future southern U.S. frontier
of new-coastal engulfing waters.

Setting aside your distaste for all things Progressive-Futuristic,
including the vastly dusty tomes of academically orthodox science
and LeftBrain dominant deductive-only rational facts,
and evidence of both polyculturally climaxing
and anti-ecosystemically degenerating global realities
about climate warming urgent pathologies,
even setting all this aside,
please review our U.S. conservatively patriotic
Right of Left Progressive-Liberal
devil’s advocate historical-cultural agenda.

Somehow I think you lost the first chapter
of Gaia’s Matriarchal WoManual.

Avoid inappropriate touch and speech at all times;
but also loosen up a little,
embrace therapeutic touch and speech favoring
win/win bilateral-cobinary strategies,
as if you are positive
that all organic life and death matters
for future healthy body pleasure
and wealthy mind compassion.

Please avoid merely repeating past pious nonperforming
benighted tropes,
as if beautiful empowered women were merely dumb blind blondes
frivolously disconnected
from humanity’s sapient
ecologically multiculturing marketplace
of healthy values
and impoverishing disvalues.

I appreciate that you do not see yourself
as a victim of history,
but more as a victorious Devil’s Advocate,
and I love it when you mention this
despite U.S. women receiving Constitutional enfranchisement rights
a few decades after Black males.

And no one in the Good Ole Boys Club
ever accused Black males
of being more privileged
and appreciated
than white women.

Darlin’,
how on Mother Earth do you think we received this right to vote
for Donald Trump,
who apparently has no work experience history
of public sector administration
suggesting in might possibly qualify
to actually defend and protect the U.S. Constitution

And the right to sabotage your own best,
healthiest
and happiest constitutionally protected interests,
by voting for a Secretary of State
and former U.S. Senator
who appears to have the more promising work experience
to become the first woman U.S. President?

Do you think our patriarchal faithful Fathers
climbed off our bedded Mothers
and said,
Oh, yes, you want it?
Sure. Here, it’s yours.

How do you think your rant
against marchers and protesters
sometimes shouting Women’s Lives Matter Too,
your stark disapproval of those who physically demonstrate
that they do not share your trust-felt experience
with our rather too religiously dear U.S. Flag
and Straight White Patriotic-Only-Need-Apply Anthems,
as heard within post-millennial virtual realities
of Devil’s RightWing Trauma Advocate?

How do you think your active disbelief
in the economic and political necessity,
or even historical effectiveness,
of strident speaking
and confrontational marching
in public and private spaces and times
would feel to your maternal Elders
during the post Civil War era,
who had no other means to speak their truth
to paternal power?

Perhaps, upon historical reflection,
these voices may sound not quite so whiney
to your indigenously wise ears?

I am sorry to say,
as I boundlessly love you,
and always will,
I am quite sure your conservative great great grandmother
would be pissed as hell at this,
her post-millennial offspring,
playing at Daddy Trump Devil’s Advocate

Joining the delusional LeftBrain dominant
paternalistic plutocratic team,
after her generation so vigorously marched
and protested for this opportunity for you
to vote for our first well-qualified
public sector experienced
woman U.S. President
of a bicamerally healthing
environmentally wealthing
ecologically informed U.S.A.

Your Virtual UnReality Shows
you learned well to help yourself stay away
from inappropriate touch and speech of others
you feel a reactionary need to overpower,
but have yet to begin
this deeper maternal ecotherapy
to always and everywhere compassionately touch and speak
through Mother Earth’s cooperatively sustaining climates
and landscapes of health and safety
worthy of your positive nurturing
(commensurable with eco-politically progressive historical integrity)
for all EarthTribe’s multiculturally resilient future regenerations.

Don’t date yourself so much
as an anti-feminist blonde beauty
overly glutted with this conservative misogynistic
racist
homophobic
RightWing ecosystemically traumatizing hegemony,
featuring Earth’s Desecrated Anthropocene

Longing for a more comfy republican story
of General Eisenhower’s post-war presidency,
as yummy as that was
for producing commercial properties
like Marilyn Monroe.

But, this is your Toni time.
Seize it.
CoArise with your cooperative matriotic duties
to speak wisdom
to LeftBrain/RightWing
evangelical TrumPublican propaganda players.

I’ll still be up here,
advocating for at least 7 healthy generations of love,

GrandMother Moon

(ebbing my Yang sway
to flow Earth’s more Yintegrally enlightened day)
