School Bored Theories

Twenty-two
and our School Boards
are hoppin

Madly divided
’bout race
and white saving face
in-between fashion shoppin.

Dear Red and Blue
School Board Candidates,

Regarding Critical Race Theory
that ignores our own lack
of multiculturing experience,

Perhaps a primally significant reason
we have issues
discussing racial divisions
throughout historical seasons
of revision

Textbooking Straight White Patriarchal treasons
against EarthTribe’s polycultural humanity,

Sacred celebrating multicultural divinity
once felt as synergetic
universal Beauty,

Continues to divide
and conquer
our best LeftBrain schooled dominions
is because rich violent red
patriotic bloodshed
is difficult to own
within our own fascist
unmatriarchal histories

Of capitalized ownership
and encultured Earth corrupting
supremely anthro-worshiping
lack of healthy eco/theological
green stewardship
through co-empathically felt
relationship.

Red candidates predict
Critical Race Theory
becomes a cynical prescription
for an inevitable future
of win/lose
zero-sum unfolding

Continuing Business As Usual
White versus Black
reverses White,

While Blue candidates refocus
on Critical Race personal experiences
of historical individuals
investing in divested
separated
divided communities,
privileged versus unprivileged
polarized nations,
degenerate climates
of active distrust
in our apartheid studied past,

Not to prescribe an inevitable future
of rightwing supported hate,
but to describe our win/lose racist past

To inform a therapeutic win/win potential future
humanely balanced,
multiculturally healthy
for our democratic
planetary future.

Twenty-two
and our School Boards
are hoppin

Mad
divided ’bout race
and white saving face
in-between fashion shoppin.

Well, your Mama Eartha’s rich
and your Papa’s Sun
shines bright enlightenin,

So, hush co-despisin,
don’t you,
won’t you try?

ReGenerating Nuts

A nut
is just a nut
till planted
in robust healthy soil

Soulfully watered
nurtured
fed by solidarity
among sympathetic neighbors

Not necessarily nuts,
yet from this same root
system of passionate EarthTribes

Trees
and seas
and sacred nests
of honey bees

Enlightening
and empowering
nut engaging mysteries.

Small Powers Everywhere

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine

Wide and longing
for committed dialogue
not surrounded
by elitist debate,

Win/lose games,
Zero-sum asinine assumptions
requiring ego-infested shadows

Resisting win/win opportunities
of healthy
democratic dialogue

Between constituencies,
residents sufficiently humble
to become students together
and unschooled
unprofessional parents
and not totally enlightened teachers
and investigative staff
and neighborhood enquiry co-investors
in this democratic
nonpartisan
Thermos On Thames Experiment.

Where the School for Daily Integrity
hosts community resources
co-engaging win/win resolutions
producing cooperative educational opportunities
to practice
practice
compassionate praxis
nonviolent communication
to restore EarthJustice,

Where co-investors co-invite
contributions around ecofeminist friendly circles
just close enough for everyone
to hear all respected neighbors
who will not be Othered

Because we are learning,
through this pandemic of anxiety,
to anticipate more than climate floods
and fears,

Both risks
and opportunities,
dissonance
and resonance,
chaotic cacophony
and complex symphony
entrusting our capacity
for resilient health and safety
co-governance.

Not another negative
Business As Sadly Usual
competitive ZeroSum game
of wounded ego-survival
until some future small light day
still dimly hoping for big bright
ecosystemic
polycultural
multicultural win/win robust community

Co-mediation
co-operation
co-invested co-dominions
engaging spring EarthDay celebrations

Of locals feeling active hope
and mutually earned trust
predicting environmental ideas
for healing Earth’s injustices
blighting compassionate
nonviolent communication,
which would be more transparent,
risking tender lights
for growing better humored
kindness

Where silence of executives
administrators
managers
means they are deeply listening
for how we can empower each other
through heartfelt consent

And cold dark silence melts,
no longer resisting Truth
to continue postures
of professional
authoritarian
legalistic
quarterly profit-preserving business
without also recognizing long-term threats
of flooding rivers
and subzero icy windstorms.

Straight white patriarchal privileged
incorporated silence means resistance
to sharing inclusive powers
with autonomously dimming lights

Rather than unveiling
wide and bright kindness moving
away from monocultural
either/or debate,
repressing fears about surviving future floods
fears
and famine

Rather than inclusively hoping
to thrive
with good humored faith
in INTEGRAL MARKERS
of democratic health
calling for this circle
to embrace trust-rebuilding
co-empathic engagement

Feeding
and watering each individual’s strengths
and cooperatively held assets
rather than punishing our weaknesses
of fear and anger,
passive mistrust
and active distrust

Further afflicting executive professional disadvantage,
dissociations
dividing shadows
weapons for continuing
White Patriarchal privileged
and disempowered
and unenlightened
talking Heads of lined up Authority

Speaking down,
darkly withholding honest
well-lit encircling dialogue
about our shared health
interactive safety
compassionate wealth
anticipations through actively
engaging transparent dialogue

While sitting around our annual fire circle
celebrating songs and dances
of green ecofeminist healthy lights
inviting yet another safe spring thaw

Inspiring this engaging light of ours
to let our best divine co-dominion
co-investments shine.

Family Mediations

I have confronted family,
and acquaintances
at the edge of my familiars
to understand my hurt
when they economically
and politically
and socially
and monoculturally
StraightWhiteMale privileged support
RightWing LeftBrained
Patriarchal-Capitalism

Because my Kids of Color,
with physical and mental,
natural and spiritual challenges,
lack of LeftBrain full accessibility

And my GayBlackMale husband
and GayWhiteMale me
feel unfairly
and dispassionately targeted,
marginalized,
offended
by corporate RightWing
Republican elitist agendas.

My family gets it,
that your “Survival of the Fittest”
divinely ordained assumptions
mean we either need salvation
(exclusively StraightWhiteMale evangelically monotheistic)
from our sinful
unstraight
unwhite
unmale
polyentheistic idolatrous ways

And also healing
from our uncompetitive brokenness
which will only fully come in Heaven
when the canes
and wheelchairs,
feeding tubes
and mental/spiritual illness
will be thrown aside.

But, you don’t seem to get it

That EarthTribe’s original sinful nature
and deficient physical imperfections,
are self-fulfilling prophecies.

Just as you,
before you put on,
and after you take off
your Permission-to-Punish uniforms
and guns
are organically connected
to Me comes from
and returns to We
healthy wealth communal
cooperatively invested
co-identity

Anticipating Win/Win Thrival
through FitIntegral Revival
experienced in daily polycultural religion
community reunion
communications of reconnection
on Heaven’s Earth
resonantly here
and resiliently now
loving regenerative EarthTribe
natural creations
and spiritual recreations

Of survivalist RightWing LeftBrained
Patriarchal Capitalist
monocultural devolution;
mere competitive Win today
to Lose tomorrow
secular reductive economics

And sectarian
partisan
anti-ecological
mono-theological elitism,
as if StraightWhiteMale God’s only chosen
to win salvation people,
way,
supremacist truth,
merely survivalistic win/lose life

Entirely misses Earth’s healthiest
graced history
cooperatively blessed
win/win polycultural
multicultural opportunities
to synergetically Thrive
evolving health
and ecofeminist safety

Not only universally inclusive salvation
for all Earth’s organic creations
but also unitarian,
integral,
synergetic,
win/win inclusive
secular/sacred celebration

That does nondualistically listen to,
invest in,
my Kids of Color
with natural and physical
non-LeftBrain dominant
social
economic
and political challenges

Those left behind by corporate competitions,
militaristic drama
fear and anger-inspiring debate,

In your cancel multiculture view,
we are spiritually disabled
disempowered
too RightBrain unLeftBrain enlightened,
too green ecofeminist
too anti-redblooded patriarchal competitive,

Yet we are also
your therapeutic singing canaries
more helpful when you are deep listening
outside the narrow dualdark door
of your monoculturing survivalist cave
hoarding,
feeding
watering historic
negative PC win/lose
zero-sum
closed
at-risk
organic co-relational traumas

Going way back
when industrious cold gold capital
replaced cooperatively nutritious compassion
of PolyCultural Organic Communion.

The DT Blues

Not so dear DT:

Many voices have avoided asking you
obviously challenging questions,

Like, “Why?”

I have a different
but related choice question:

Ten years from 2020 revision,
would you rather be dead
or a silently cancelled mystery
rightly left behind
by a more resilient
blood red
healthier EarthClimate
history?

This is my rightful
red-blooded
Earth patriotic question
for not only unjust you.

The entirely apartisan U.S. Senate
comes immediately to what’s left
of my right mind,

Especially those egregiously unclean
unrepentantly ungreen,
which seems to clearly exclude
no one
from blue penitence
seeking more red hot hope
for ecological salvation.

Better off already dead?
Or still breathing
but more left living behind,
out of over-invested
nemesis light?

Why, AntiUncle Samson,
Why?

What in degenerative
dogmatic Hell
was our bad trip all about?

The journey toward forgiveness
is a long one,
short on patience,
bankrupt
for culpable slack,
publicly mediated lack
of green clean curiosity.

Redemption begins with:
Hi. I am DeToxifying Donald.
I am part political fascist
and part economic fool.

I’m sorry.

Let me make reparations
by donating what little is left,
not yet self-righteously destroyed,
to Earth’s Feminist Future Gardeners
already permaculturing peace.

Then, cancelling
my monoculturing
“DT right is only red”
brand,
I choose to disappear
into a transgender nunnery
to clean ungilded toilets

To clean the pots
we marginally pee in
for myself
by myself
swiftly cancelled
by unplanned climate change
like everyone else.

Climate Change Ain’t Progress

In Shaker Heights, Ohio,
founding fathers co-invested in:

Change doesn’t happen
without planning

This, despite
unstraight
unwhite
unmale volatile experiences
feeling sometimes victimized
and sometimes blessed
by unexpected weather transitions,
despite feeling like vulnerable chameleons,
despite feeble farming
in narrowing spaces
between floods and famine,
despite more often feeling:

Plans were made to be changed,
a euphemism for:

Your plans are disempowered
to become downsized,
disinvited,
excised.

Planning change
feels as privileged as LeftBrain dominance
which need not pause to listen
and remember
more fear-inducing personal experiences

Violent change predicting health
and wealth losses,
wild absence of planned control
like HIV
and COVID-19,
global pandemics
and climate change
erasing EarthTribe’s
presumed polyculturally healthy
future symbiotic ego/eco-systems.

If sinister change,
including global pandemics,
feel suspiciously planned to you
then please rediscover
your LeftBrain anxious conspiracy theories
as a weakness

Rooted in Straight-White-Male
incorporated executive academic privilege
to have disproportionate learning resources
to research,
and plan more exclusive progress
in your family
and work
and economic
and political history

More successful
than chronic disenfranchisement,
monocultural marginalization,
psychological depression,
feminist political repression,
economic suppression,
win/lose competitive corporate colonizing
oppression–
all tragic unprogressive forms,
not therapeutic changing flows,
of mundane traumatic pathology.

Change
for LeftBrain dominant speakers,
does not always sound like
Progress
to RightBrain prominent listeners.

Ambiguity about personal capacity
to empower therapeutic change
can also be heard
when I “deserve”:

to stay home
(paid or unpaid?)
when I’m sick

to give voice
(listened to or ignored?)
to my transparent truth

to be housed,
institutionalized,
hospitalized,
incorporated,
resourced,
employed by patriarchal capitalists,
healthier,
loved for who I could become,
with explicit contractual conditions
for rewarded positive
(more than punished negative)
regard.

If we have too seldom deserved
merits
more than demerits
in our own salvation/demonization
invitation/extrication experience,
then we grow quick to notice
“change” comes in positive
and negative future plans

As “progress”
can be progressive cancer
and climates of disruption
more than polyculturally inclusive choice
of love
and not fear,
of compassion
and not violence

For too many of Those People,
For global EarthTrauma
climate change,
what follows Patriarchal-Capitalist plans
for next quarter’s progress
is frightening absence
of eco-political integrity,
Business As Planned Usual
degenerating
toxic chaos.

Valentine Vows

You can count on red-hearted me
to always speak
my stupidest questions.

May we never count
our years of silence
hiding our greenest answers
to questions never mutually voiced.

I gladly promise
to stick my brown foot
in your white privileged mouth.

May we walk together
reassured
our mouths are for healing
and our feet
support health care
compassionate wealth of feelings.

I scandalously vow
to hotly drill you
till you
can’t walk straight.

May we always cherish
our warm passion
for sensually heated sacred spaces
mutually scorching
regenerative impassioned places.

Fiddler’s Womb

If I were a poor woman
I would dance and sing
through basement boogy woogy bars
all these days and nights
of EarthTribe healthy men

Winning
not measured in applause
but absorbing painful bunions
in glad support
of Earth’s healthiest worn-out pause

Performing songs with peace
inviting massive choirs
composing mother muses,
matriarchs of deeply felt integrity
dancing EarthDay’s cause.

Interview With A Narcissist

I need to know
if you have seen
or heard anything from me
or about me
that would cause you to hesitate
to hire me full-time
for the next sex worker
and spiritual director
and financial co-investor
position

Opening up
on your personal
and political empowerment team.

I would also like to know
if you have seen and heard,
tasted and smelled,
felt and touched
anything positive
compelling
engaging about me

That would discourage you
from firing me
from my current part-time position
enabling your fears of losing me
to some better
bigger
more powerful,
possibly even somewhat more enlightened
and less angry,
narcissist.

Light Powers

Lately,
I too often experience
anger begets anger
to also remember
love begets love.

This same appositional binary
appears in retributive criminal justice codes
culturally outweighing
restorative EarthJust climates
of healthcare giving
is also wellness receiving.

Our criminal justice codes
are designed to hurt
and disempower
oppositionally defiant individuals,
greedy
ego-self-righteous
Takers,

Terror capitalized
Otherers,

Rapists
with rapid-fire militarized
Take Up PatriarchalCapitalist Arms
against Motherers,

Angry
and coldly calculating
Murderers,

Enslavers
Addictors
Hate Preachers,

And their neglected
mental/spiritual unhealthy
Followers

Often with police
or military commodified retaliation histories
speaking in Wins
for Good Straight WhiteMale privilege
so must Lose
Other rivalrous voices

Blind to win/win restorative peace
and EarthJustice

Where compassion begets potential
for growing cooperatively held
compassion
through nonviolent communication

Verbal
and nonverbal,
secularly spoken
and sacredly felt,
ecologically healthy
and theologically wealthy
polyculturing communion.

Anger,
fear,
and hate speak harm
where unconditional regard
listens for healthcare giving
and receiving reciprocity,
for love,
for compassionate win/win healing
EgoCenters
living in organic EcoSystems.

Passionate anger
is not an intrinsic evil
nor does immature selfishness
always lead to egocentric greed
and hoarding
and aggression
sourcing original win/lose sins
of dark oppression
and disempowering violence.

Anger and greed and fear
are daily warnings
that our nationalistic
PatriarchalCapitalist cultural road
to internal health
and external peace
is more likely
through lovely PolyCultural Communion healing.

Sacred Earth Communion
may begin by simply taking a breath
to remember rainbow ecosystemic synergy
of humane light
shaping divinely synergetic powers

Just as anger begets anger
and retributive punishing
abusive and neglectful marginalizing,
dissociative wounding
monotheistic supremacist
DualDark inside/outside Systems

So too compassion and nonviolent deep listening
for win/win healing possibilities
for mind, inside
and body, outside
mental/spiritual health care
for egos still actively hoping
ecosystemic resonantly resilient
wealthy relationships
will restore interpersonal justice
through nonviolent communication

Transparently
and vulnerably communicating
reflections of a rainbow stopping traffic
to recall fleeting light perfections
of Earth’s health empowering peace.
