ReForesting Vocations

If your life’s vocation
were to plan,
design,
and co-govern
an extended healthy family
through cooperative ecopolitical incorporation,
what would your cooperative do?

Where does my cooperative live?
In the White House,
the Governor’s Mansion,
the homeless shelter,
or right here in Business As Usual?

It doesn’t matter,
or it does,
but my answer would not change
regardless of health-intending habitat,
I actively hope.

Who could we become together
rather than more competitively lonely?
side by autonomously thin side
of interdependent relationship.

If you lived
as an extending multicultural family cooperative
with the functions of a tree,
from root systemic origins
through falling replication seeds
for next year’s even healthier regenerative decomposition cycle,

And further,
if you lived like a tree,
within a cooperative network of community-based cooperative forests,
owned and self-managed by our conjoined constituencies,
both producers and consumers of ecotherapeutic care
to, together,
reforest a side-by-side
now quick-growing desertification of climate
pathology of thinning inter-relationships,
sparsely shallow mutual listening integrity,
cooperatively doing out best to eco-govern
within Earth’s Gaia Cooperative
to reforest Paradise Lost
with long-term multiculturing health care
and receiving
outcomes
through growing hypostatically Gaianed,
creolizing,
synergizing,
mutually benign cooperative trust-growing
toward inclusive reforest regeneration
through more PermaCulturally Healthy Strings
of Reiteratively Resonant 4D, 4-Season Designs
rather than Business As Competition Usual,
Win some to not Lose All;
while preferring a WinWin
co-arising Bodhisattva-East
CoMessiah-West
CoRevolution.

Religious and cultural multidiverse forests,
rather than barren economic and political monoculturing deforestation,
calls to us,
Left and Right
climates for personal through international mindbody health.

If we were each a CoOperative
Tree of ReForesting Life,
hypothesizing health forest optimization of peace processes,
irrevocable and RightBrain irreversibly rememory
as polypathic LeftBrain comprehensive–
both Right subjective as inductive Personal FeelKnowledge
and Left objective YangExegetical Strength,
as deductive dominant languaged–
bionic bilateral
informating regeneratively cooperative energy,
EcoPolitical co-intellects
might inductively mensurate
and deductively modulate
co-relational energy reforesting events
as more of regenerative inter-relationships
means less of pathological less.

Our total thermodynamic quantity…

And quality, dear,
don’t forget Yin’s RightBrain octave-inductive flow Quality.

As I was pontificating
in my patriarchally dominant way,
Total ergodic quantity
of cooperative energy
co-operating our Universal EarthForest
is a constant Commons 0-Centered democratic evolution,
yet a co-dependent function
of metaphysical,
not Special Case,
intellect,
Right with LeftBrain
temporal-spatial 4D imagination,
noticing,
planning,
design,
possibilities of dual-appositional bilateral
governance.

Ergodic Universe
is the integrative harmonic integral
of all intellectual RightBrain metaphysical-spiritual memory
as LeftBrain secular balancing
eco-physical nature’s health
reforesting Earth’s Cooperative
Tree of Life
regenerative phenomena,
sustaining diversity of polyphonic feelings
through ecoflowing system roots
of polypathically bilateral
polynomially harmonic
forests,
physical Special Case
and metaphysical-spiritually
sacred NotNotSpecial;
just Business as ReForesting Cooperative Usual
4D RealTime
0-Sum Co-Operative
Win-Win Case.

Well, dearest,
now that you have finally found enough time
to stop asking,
let me try a response:

Because my life’s vocation
is to plan,
design,
and co-govern
an extended healthy family
through cooperative ecopolitical incorporation,
what would you cooperatively like to do
with me?
How about some more eco-balanced
co-investment in healthy
eco-relationally
integrative
reforesting the Earth
as our bicameral mindbody
wealth of inter-relationships?

Did I forget to reduce the 0-sum polynomial waste-stream again?

Why are you always so defensively negative?
I was hoping you might induce our 0-sum polyphonic flow-stream
more regeneratively
reforesting
again.

Universal Stories

All of us,
or nearly all,
have had both spiritual experience
and some religious teaching,
sometimes from prophetic pulpit ScriptureSpeakers
and sometimes through more maternal StoryTellers,
and all immersed in prodigal parables
bridging gaps
between internal spiritual experience
of nutritional love through toxic hate,
ecocentric good through egocentric evil
and sad,
and religious instructions
about how to do better,
more cooperatively,
next time,
gratitude co-investing Earth’s rich health grace.

All of us,
or most,
for cooperatively better
and Yang/Yin competitively worse,
have had both economic ecological experience
and prophetic,
and sometimes pathetic,
political teachings
about how best to govern
our YangLeft-RightYin regenerative selves,
our local communities of bicameral cooperative intent,
our counties and provinces and bioregions,
our nations
as our MotherEarth Planet
eco-cooperative place
of original embryonic Earth-Mother’s
matriarchally nutritional
spirit-nature nondual
co-arising Grace
as both God and Gaia Earth’s Creation
invite more gratitude together
than Yang v. repressed Yin
apart.

Which came first?
Spiritual and ecological embryonic experience?
Or political-religious-cultural prophecies
and laws
and legislation,
mediated dogmas
and political nominations
for your persuasion
and co-investment in
Anger Management EgoTherapies
and Love Abundance EcoTherapies?

Or
do they SpiritYin–
secular NatureYang–
co-arise
nondually
toward equivalent
polypathic
Grace abundant Gratitude?

In other words
each embryonic new birth
is also an ancient reforesting regenetic unfolding
of phylogenic instructions
for reforesting our lives in potential-Eden,
for Paradise perpetuation
from now
through at least 7-ReGenerations.

To paraphrase avid David Holmgren,
we best remember
gains and losses
from culling forests,
ecosystems external
and egosystems internal,
are made health and pathology possible
by Earth’s deep rich cooperative eco-learning diversity
of Patriarchal Grace
greeting integrity of Matriarchal Gratitude;
experience first intended
while still in loving Mother’s Spirit-Natured Womb.

Be careful who you deepest listen to,
are fed and bled by,
said TransGender Virgin Mary,
when reforesting your forests
in and out.
From thunderous tones of too Patriarchal Voices
and the flowing grace-octaves of original sensory experience,
you can usually delineate
those who know differences between culling and raping,
and those who not so much have first clues,
prefer to speak first
about their own ego-political competing issues.

If in their most important scripture stories,
the women,
and the poor,
and the marginalized LGBTs,
and the people of rich deep color,
have only bleeding parts
instead of speaking
and singing
and dancing parts,
then it’s time to shop
’til you drop
for a more polycultured Creation Story
of PolyPathic EcoPolitics.

Can you imagine,
asked the VirginMother of Her Son,
Where Yang spies swimming upstream
Yin also hears and smells and feels flying,
gliding,
sailing,
weaving and reweaving
more downstream
than up,
first concave inside
then convexly out?

Three Sisters CoOp

The CoOp featured Women and Families
and their Matriarchal Allies,
often LGB and/or T,
and even some curiously queerer,
but not meaner
in appropriate demeanor
regardless of habitat
and camouflage
and costume,
ready for a folksy ball,
come as you neighborhood are
at Three Sisters CoOp.

The Corn Sisters
first brought their good news gospel,
Christian straight through bisexual,
standing Yangish tall.

To conjoin the Bean Brothers and Sisters,
enslaved in wombs a bit too much longer
than their corny deep green sisters,
yet rich brown and red
and forest green ready
to sprout and reforest spiral,
devouring,
yet digesting appropriately just right,
what Corn could carry and bear,
before producing their Bean creolizing
jazzy song and dance performers;
sultry street reformers
resting on a corny stalk of Yang.

Pumpkin spreading shade Earth Allies
grow across the CoOp’s neighborhood,
incorporating spiritual
and natural nutritions
to feed a hungry matriarchal-patriarchal world,
rich with integrative nutritional potential,
deep with CoOp integrity
to reweave,
reforest,
Three Sister CoOps,
wherever humanity blooms,
not bleeds so much,
as and where planted,
in and out,
up and down,
back and forth
TaoTime reweaving.

A Great Transitional bean-brother
and sister
stood to take the lunch microphone
first opened up this day
to say:

If you look at a flat picture of a three-sprout braid,
it looks like oppositional Yang and Yin
are bilaterally weaving in and out
in Hypostatic Union
universally alone.

Yet that same three-dimensional braid
when felt and looked at
from at least all three-sides,
unveils a secret wu-wei Trinity
of TaoTime,
a braid for Sacred Corn
as FatherSun,
a braid for Natural Beans
as Holonic Cooperative Flowing-Spiral Spirit,
a braid for MotherEarth
Squashed Down Folks and Species
spreading lovely shade and reforesting projects
and cooperative programs,
economically and politically discouraging competing weeds
while splattering growing psychologically complex rain
where it best absorbent falls.

But, which nutritional strand is which
depends on you,
the ecopolitical view you listen to most Yang-Yin deeply,
as written in sweetgrass braids
of each Three Sisters CoOp.

Trump Speaks Wolf, Wolf!

I don’t want Aliens
buying U.S. business,
but please stand back
while I buy up all your cheapest busyness
for International Made In America Trumpism.

Colonialism,
like Trumpism,
should work only one way,
which,
as everybody of importance knows,
is my imperialistic,
not much empirical,
Royal Way.

I also don’t want your poor
and uneducated immigrants,
and certainly not their ungainly families,
but please keep your rabble back
while I visit your capital investments
to infest my glorious smog
embracing short-lived climates of pathology.

Enculturation,
like facts,
should only work
Made in Triumphalist U.S. way,
and if anything were ever true blue and White,
and not at all red, patriotic made,
it is my great transitional
ecopolitical
Trumpian UnHealthCare Way.

The 2020 Coop

The People’s Coop
is a warm inviting place,
for some
a reading and meditation
and arts practice and performance space,
for others
a place to ride sleek bicycles
with self-and-other improvement book racks
while peddling energy into the cooperative Grid,
sheltered by solar panel roof
and natural wood graffiti walls
spun and sung
with Mohammad’s Sufi Wind Turbinators.

Original coop founders
had been mural painters
and finger and toenail designers,
hair braiders
and community garden canners
and preservers,
soup and smoothie makers
and child-care cooperative providers
and home school teachers,
as well as the original upstairs apartment residents,
and those living next door,
working in the kitchen,
serving organic soup and bread
in winter,
juice smoothies
and fair-trade mocha freezes
to readers and talkers with listeners
during warmer sun-drenched months
relaxing on teak chairs
surrounding umbrella tables
in our outdoor street cafe.

The guy with a hot dog and bagel cart
joined The Coop
and invested each lunch hour
outside
then went inside to offer yoga
and chi gong classes
in the reading and quiet arts room.

Meanwhile,
more robust and rhythmic,
the kitchen and juice bar
shares open space
with a performance stage
bearing diverse drums,
a grand piano,
an accordion,
rather strangely popular,
and a karaoke machine,
lights and sound,
open mic days and nights
for comedy
and poetry,
story-telling
and rapping,
tapping and beating
and full gospel choir singing,
depending on who shows cooperatively up
to turn out
rather than in
over on the quiet side
of the all bells, but no disdaining whistles, Coop.

Coop peak periods
include rainy and cold afternoons
when street performers
come inside,
finish their soup,
put out their hats
and share a set,
then join juice and coffee and tea bar tables
and sometimes even take a turn
on hooked-up bikes and rowing machines
to operate the lights and mics
and blenders,
but not the mud and straw pizza oven out back,
fired with cedar and mesquite
producing organic vege and goat cheese
on whole wheat crust
for a light supper,
or multigrain scones with herbal high tea,
depending on where you came from
before you found The Coop.

If you remember
the incense and hope of 1960s Head Shops,
the heady roar and multi-racing of 1920s historic stops,
then you may come to see
The Coop is a further evolution
co-founded with 2020 PolyCultural ReVision,
exclusively of and for
those who are gay and straight
and especially everyone in-between
dead and new-born friendly,
cooperatively owning and organizing allies
for renewable multigenerational futures.

The Coop coinvestors
of and for reforesting
each coop business and community
as organically WinWin county and province solidarity
for healthy game strategics
and nutritional performance
and cooperative outcome producing places
where poverty of spirit
and vulnerability of nature’s self-organizing politics
is The Coop’s greatest strength of faith,
gratitude for Earth’s multiculturally abundant
natural-spiritual nondual
healthy
grace
place
space,
faces of polypathic
Planet Earth Cooperative.

Classism USA

Many U.S. citizens
deny that democratic civility and classism can,
and often do,
co-exist.

These tend to be
those who also deny
the multigenerational inheritance of enslaving racism
in defense of egalitarian beliefs
about dignity and indignities of human life,
where some have access to personal and habitat and economic health
by right,
while others,
often born multigenerationally poor,
have yet to earn their equal health care receiving rights
until they have paid their economic care-giving dues
for another decade or generation
or two
or three
or more,
who knows?

So good to know
we live in a culture
without classism,
and certainly without racism.

We just think,
using that term loosely,
that everybody should live equally
separately
as things have always been since,
well…
back to the days of slavery and Kings,
the way God originally ordained,
after the Paradise Forest of Eden,
of course,
which is all our own damned Original Sin fault.

Nodoby would want to go all the way back
to that radical absence of classism
and racism
ReGenerative Creation Story.

Or,
maybe we would?
perhaps we could?
possibility we multiculturally should?

Organic Developers

Permacultural Designers
are taught to multiply the number
and networking depth
of relationships
between species
and organisms
and systems
and cooperative economic networks,
rather than the simpler adding functions
of traditional agriculture;
Where,
if you plant eight crops,
you get eight maybe interdependent functional relationships,
and maybe not so much,
especially as we learn to add the evolutionary trajectory
for number of functional relationships
between interdependently planned species,
organisms, etc.,
across multigenerational time.

A’s are given out for diversely sustained polycultural outcomes,
and F’s mean LoseLose failed
to sustain a quasi-healthy unbalancing,
running too multigenerationally fast
out of control,
monocultural outcome.

There is something different
about a third generation poor single Mom,
as compared to first generation.
The failing number of functional relationships
of primary health focus,
of nutritionally diverse balance,
of color, harmony, seasonal symmetry,
mutually cooperative atonement,
as compared to a first generation poor single parent
whose parents were actually better off
in ecopolitically nutritious relationships
than the dwindling aspirations
horizons
landscapes and climates
of their own monoculturing children,
and their drowning in toxins of despair
grandchildren.

We have this same multigenerational disparity,
at least here in the U.S.,
between Third Generation plutocratic supremacists,
rich in wealth
yet poor in mental health,
in their dwindling number and depth of functional diverse relationships
with other species and organisms and cultures and religions,
elite partnerships and competing unto death incorporations
and public sector democratically oppressive
lack of inclusive health and climate care assurance,

As compared to their First Generation
of nouveau riche,
Horatio Alger stories
proving the Original EcoPolitical Principle
of interdependent needs and wants
make systems grow longer,
sustain diverse functional relationships,
mutually nurture health
which is,
after all,
a system’s only true WinWin polycultural longterm outcome.

In this light,
I find it fascinating
to explore the similarities and differences
between a late middle-age denialist Donald Trump,
third generation wealthy,
and Elder socialist Fidel Castro,
from at least three generations of not wealth,
just regular folks
doing the best they cooperatively could
given humble circumstances,
and yet great communitarian
multiple-functional relationship expectations
across subtle nuances of race
and religion
and culture
and multi-sensory color and fragrance and taste
and philosophy.

I wonder if this has anything to do with
why you find cooperatively supported small farm and garden
straight to locally driven or bicycled market
nutritional economies,
and national health care,
as a right to cooperative life
multigenerational expectation
in Cuba,
outlasting Castro’s own adolescent and young adult
violent dictatorial issues,
not trusting his own inherited experience
as a magnate for permacultural peace
of multifunctional-multigenerationally deep
and rich
healthy relationships.

Perhaps if Donald
had not been born Third Generation Entitled
and if he had another decade or two
to grow into more mature healthy adulthood,
he could see White House potential
as therapeutic for all Earth’s interdependently cooperative health functions,
rather than his current myopic preoccupation
with what a toxic swampy dump it is,
with how to sound like his cock
looks as big as his militaristic fascist walk.

After all,
a younger Fidel had similar Trumpian oppositionally disordered issues,
counting his number of guns
rather than remembering to stay focused
on growing the number of multiplying functional nutrients
interdependently cooperative relationships
across this network
we Commonly hold
called Earth.

TransGendering Trumpisms

Trump started it,
with his arguments against transgender people
in the military violence business
of nationalism.

He seems to think trans-thinking
could not be sufficiently focused,
disciplined,
willing to accept ego-sacrifices
as necessary for successful long-term peaceful outcomes.

While this does seem to be an issue,
this lack of focus and self-discipline,
for some in the long-term healthy peace achievement business,
anyone who is transgender
and yet willing to gamble on thriving in a military culture
is not likely to suffer in those ways,
unlike lack of congressional climate of health care outcomes,
and far removed from a Trumpian,
late-decadent Victorian,
All Supremacist WhiteHouse.

It is ever so much easier
to retain a stiff upper lip,
and shut your over-twitterish hatefilled mouth,
when thou art Queen Bee of the Hill,
than when one of the many transgender soldier bees,
defending your right to lay really tragic
not-funny eggs
in full view of a not skeptical enough
Republic.

Perhaps we would all be better off
if we only nominated for President
people who had successful experience not only as Governors
or Senators
or even Vice Presidents,
but also some successful transgender experience.

For to become Trans
is a lifespan progress.
Not only unity of focus
and discipline of bilateral selves,
but also an intuitive feel for balance
between the virulent egocentric
and the viable possibilities for cooperative eco-centric diversity,
and a sense of appropriate
and inappropriate
use of color.

Color,
not only variations on yellow
with red
with blue,
not only black and brown
with diverse hues and textures of white and pink flesh,
but also colorful language
pattern and rhythmic texture,
tone,
ranging scales of operatic drama
but also peaceful romantic moonlit nights
here in this focused,
balancing,
colorful spacetime place
transgender celebrates
as a peaceful,
yet fertile,
diversely promising womb of Earth.

Perhaps we could also improve leadership
for all Earth’s health care giving
and receiving,
by closing the Senate
to straight white males
of any age.
We employ far too many of those
in the incompetent House of NonRepresentatives
to achieve successful unity,
balance,
and color.

Bullies focus on their monoculturing intents
and violent purposes, as necessary,
as self-justified,
so are not known for skill sets
involving polyculturally balancing
ecopolitically healthy outcomes,
much less any Commons sense
of polyphonic color,
much less any politically liberating sense of humor.

For this full design package,
we could more successfully turn
to society’s transgender victims,
soldiering on with and without us
if we could just keep up
with their divinely inspiring
senses of and for balancing peaceful
yet radiant
colors of integrity,
both inside
and out.

Sinking Expectations

I remember when
we asked about the quality of schools
before buying a house.

Now we know,
whether house shopping or not,
the educational outcomes will not be good
however better some than most,
yet now we need to ask about the quality of the local police department
before selecting a house
where they might prefer battering rams to open doors
over more civilly knocking,
prefer shooting to asking questions.

I remember when
we asked how liberating from wars
and violence
and oppression
our political candidates could imagine
and rhetorically explicate,
hope to promise.

Now we too seldom hope
for such vision of lofty and deeply rich heights,
and we need to ask the Government Economic Analysts
how many more will lose basic health and safety care-receiving,
because we cannot choose to care for all
in the latest version
of the virulently fascist anti-health bill.

Parting Instructions For My Oldest

You did not choose to be born,
much less Black Lives Really Should Equally Matter born
into this legacy,
your familial and civil Two-Connecticuts destiny.

I realize that,
And regret perhaps my own choices
in response to invitations for care-giving
and healthcare-receiving
were probably too egocentrically universalized
creolized so that whatever felt best to me at the time
would necessarily be best for you,
born into this diverse range of my health and pathology choices
for me,
now also for you.

No one asked, including me
Do you think a young African-American ADHD adult,
single,
poorly educated,
challenged as employable
with unresolved anger and fear issues
about whether he is care-giving enough
to deserve to become self care-receiving,
is left to care for
a gay virgin nerd younger adult
game-addicted brother
who believes he is actually allergic,
and perhaps alien,
to Mother Earth,
AND an oppositionally bipolar nymphomaniac youngest princess sister
with cerebral palsy and difficulty speaking,
civilly or usually otherwise,
and concomitant difficulties
not talking to herself while jumping
and slapping
and forgetting to go only on the toilet,
AND your youngest brother,
also with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair,
without capacity to speak or sign
yet with capacity to laugh and smile
with those he loves to know the best care-receiving,
and without capacity to chew and swallow well
so he eats through a tube
what he must not gnash with his grinding teeth,
and with midnight capacities for grande-mal seizures
requiring 24-7 same-room monitoring.

This is indeed
a great deal of operatic drama not to choose
to be born into
as the oldest,
raised by two gay dads,
old enough to have been your grandfathers,
one black, who seems afraid to be associated
with our polycultural reputation and self-presentation,
self-neglect, he might call us out,
and me white,
now apologizing for this mess
with which I leave you
as your birthright.

Attached are instructions
from your sister’s Behaviorist.
I suggest you adapt them,
first to take better care of yourself,
then her,
then your two brothers,
as best you can,
ecotherapeutic care-giving
is also egotherapeutic care-receiving.

When another life
reaches out to strike you down,
to damage your property and/or body,
and mind,
to touch you inappropriately
and without asking permission first,
before grabbing and damaging your thoughts and feelings:

First, remind your care-receiver,
as yourself,
to ask permission to become a care-giver
to you and/or your property,
because your life does matter equally
with each other’s;
not more,
but not less either.

Second,
teach your assailant
across permitted boundaries to violence and theft and behavioral restraints,
including use of civil voice,
to advocate for this assailant’s healthcare-receiving wants and needs
in an appropriate
mutual healthcare-giving way,
non-violently
and more domestically diplomatic,
following universal multicultural standards
for WinWin Solidarity
of All Lives Equally Matter,
Golden Rules
applied to people,
plants,
places,
and things,
especially technological co-investments
in Earth’s 7-Generation Future
of healthcare information systems
and their cooperative access
to growing Wealth Without Walls.

Finally,
mentor your siblings
with healthcare-giving greetings,
invitations,
listenings before speaking,
speaking back what care-receiving comes through
your All Lives Equally Matter channels
and challenges
about not choosing
to be left with these care receiving and giving
familial opportunities
to regenerate climates of health
and avoid landscapes of further behavioral pathology.

With apologies
for my Elder role
in your current ADHD challenged
ecopolitical and psychological karma,
but,
you know,
as a gay white-trash farmboy
who developed a thing for urban black strong men
in the 1960s and 70s
when my life wasn’t even legal,
much less of any socially therapeutic value,
I didn’t think past my own parenting needs
to give life more therapeutically back
than I had not-so-well received life
in my ecopolitical time on Earth.

If you do your best self care-receiving,
you will each day and night relearn
to teach yourself as others
asking and giving permission to respectfully approach
to advocate for universal care giving as receiving,
beginning with your mentoring history
of gratitude for Earth’s abundant grace
to place
and pace
you here and now
without having even to ask
to be born
into this space and time
of responsibilities for care-receiving
and concomitant authorities of care-giving
ego/eco bilaterally cooperative
WinWin healthcare systemic network building,

unfolding and reweaving instructions
from and for the Oldest.
