Strolling through GreeneVille

When guys get so old
pubic hairs
are as long as penises

It’s not time to grow
a longer and fatter, more drivable,
penal delivery system
promising retributive rape
of an entire planet.

It is time to trim back
over-Yanged investment hedges
blocking more pedestrian-friendly
RightBrain purposes;
traffic in WinWin walking nurture
more than WinLose driving torture.

I was thinking about Greeneville’s Neighborhood Revitalization
ZeroZone planning and design,
implementation progress,
or robust lack thereof,
from a drive-through as quickly as possible non-place
mutually disinvested drivable
back toward a more historically walkable space
and time.

I wonder if apparent lack of progress
may have less to do with funding,
and lack thereof,
and more to do with lack of cooperative implementation
imaginations walking together
back in multigenerational sharing time.

I don’t know much about Greeneville
built up along Shetucket River
historical transportation system,
and nutritional fishing site,
and PositivEnergy mill ecopolitical empowerment,

But I do recall
Greeneville’s primary drivable contributions
in the 1880’s UnCivil Culture Democracy War
were guns and cannons
and all things horse-powered ballistic.

This Greeneville Resilient Restoration Zone
might recall
prior to 1900s,
premillennial Green included walkable
and boatable transport
and not motorized drive-through shooting lanes–
not yet.

And GreenVillages
were ecoschool built around North Main Street gardening squares
where goats and landscaping sheep grazed,
and certainly no Norwich Maintenance Motorized Crew
hauled away refuse
whether for repurposing
or endstream undignified burial,
unholy ashes to ashes.

But gardening farmers perhaps closed that nutritional loop,
further investing
in walkably accessible repurposing.

Street performers,
Christmas carolers,
GoodFriday and Easter pageants,
evangelists and milk carton prophets
may yet again advocate
for healthier outdoor EcoSchools
matriotically remixing
rapturous WinWin
wealthy-health salvations.

Occasionally a horseback rider
might again ride through
delivering a new tethered team of mules
from Shetucket River ferry dancers
investing in a local pedestrian every-multigenerational family
farmer’s day
and sleep restoring night.

On Sundays
six or less historical Greeneville churches
might have become surrounded by horses
with carriages behind
and domestic-saddled horsepowers
waiting under sugar maple trees
for a return to Sabbath dinner,
and then perhaps a walk
along a bricked pedestrian lane
looking out across Shetucket River.

Some weekends might feature
town square performers,
outdoor schools for guiding imagination
remembering fire circle story-tellers
surrounded by listening original forests
on Shetucket River banks

And all that postmillennial wildmind
First Nation Greeneville drama
and domesticity
on matriarchal foot,
and paddling fast-lane patriarchal canoes.

When guys get so old
public memory hairs
are as long as their walk-as-punishment imaginations

It’s time to trim back
overYanged investments
blocking more pedestrian-friendly meanings,
traffic in nurture more matriarchal WinWin
than Either/Or LeftBrain Drivability,
dispiriting WinLose.

GREENing Our Neighborhood

Permaculturists,
like Taoists
and Buddhists
and Hindus, etc.
Consider neighbors
extended and respected family,
ZeroZone Kin,
regardless of zone status
near or far,
regardless of species,
regardless of living
or gone
or not yet arrived.

Dear Neighbors,

I make no proud claims
of embracing a GREEN lifestyle,
making green integrity choices,
No claims of wise and sacred ecology
or even GREEN party membership.

Yet,
as a Permaculture Designer
and as a hopefully therapeutic
more than helplessly threatening parent
of hurt children
becoming young adults
in a growing climate of pathology,
Earth GREENS
(great rational ecological-economic news services)
are among my healthier aspirations.

Permaculture Opera
speaks part of my journey
from our urban capital
often slighting our polluted Connecticut River
living water artery
of enculturing history

To this neighborhood
where the Yantic
and Shetucket Rivers
of Norwich
become one in the misnomered Thames River
whose mouth speaks of New London
where once fished Iroquois
Pequots
Mashantuckets…
blue herons,
dolphins,
bears,
eagles..

I am interested in where these Rivers
speak from and for,
and where they are heading
and learn to listen on their banks
for their best resiliently ballasting interests
in where we have gone
and come from,
time’s nurturing ebb and co-arising flow,
and where humane nature
is healthy v pathology going,
regenerative v degenerative
cooperation v too competitive
WinWin v WinLose.

Perhaps some day in Norwich
and New London
and Groton
we may go and come back again by water taxis,
bicycle rickshaws
and tricycle grocery carts,
horses with and without buggies.

Bike and pedestrian only lanes
and downtown blocks
connecting GREEN EcoSchools
with organic community gardens
built by PositivEnergy Cooperatives
with co-invested political and economic nutritional leaders
who graduated from local EcoSchools
appropriate to Norwich’s diverse
historical
health faces:

As Original river forest habitat
GREEN nature-spirit built environments
will allow,

As meadow greened and gardened,
grazed and harvested
as in our colonial era,

As Civil GREEN Rights and Elitist Wrongs
underground our freedom railroad
and civil war volunteerism
would expect respect
with cooperative gratitude,

As we restore our national health identity
after AntiGREENing of Vietnam
and MiddleEast
and Korea
and…

So this copy of Permaculture Opera
is my signed gift to you,
inviting you to share this journey
if you neighborly will.

And, if you read
and care to speak further
about these pieces
or about a neighborhood
Permaculture Design Cooperative
or about restoring a therapeutic
Norwich ClimateHealth Cooperative
composed of those still in PositivEnergy Democracy School
and those who have grown out
long enough to know
we cannot continue
with NON-GREEN
BusinessAsUsual,

Here’s my email address,
my http://www.gdill52.com blogsite,
open to comments
WinWin dialogue,
cooperative skill development.

Speak with me,
invite me to listen
to what we might do better
together
than side-by-side
apart.

Trading Trees Into Timber

I see someone wants to trade
eight hundred year old trees
for timber.

Clearly,
not someone who knows how to listen
to WiseElders.

When these trees were mere seedlings,
they were already exploring how deep and rich
is Earth’s flowering flow
of nurturing rivers.

Most people in that ancient time
were monotonously sure
Earth is simply,
fundamentally,
even evangelistically,
flat.

And
eight hundred years later
still clueless
how deep and rich
is Earth’s flowering flow
of multiculturing sacred time.

Redeeming Lost Nightmares

To begin each morning here with now
includes who we bicamerally are,
who we have Elder RightBrain been,
where and when our DNA-scripts
came from RNA-AnimaMundi divine whispers,
and who and when and where and why
we would most clearly appreciate investing in
our shared future on planet Earth,
this and every day.

We each face morningEast and eveningWest,
usually alone and silently,
and yet occasionally together
in good faith communities
and extending families
of positive intent.

Incarnation and discarnation
in a capital iconic culture
include all our assets and liabilities,
relationships and lack of relationships,
intentions and lack of intentions,
good and bad,
emotions and absence of caring,
depth and radiant possibilities of integrity,
emerging harmony,
resonance with EarthTribes.

If you could capitalize
all your assets and liabilities,
all your nutritional value and toxic disvalue,
all your [positive and negative energy potential,
what would you have?
Who would you have this with?
And what might you do together
that each of you would most like to become
not so much alone?

And,
if you cannot capitalize
all your embodied assets and liabilities,
all your nutritional and toxic habitats,
all your relational environment’s energy potential,
then who are you?
How would you otherwise delineate
the limits of your LeftBrained Ego?

Our most sacred potential
may be non-violently explored
and non-predatively known
and cherished
as our Ego’s Highest Power
re-images PlanetEarth
sensed and felt and known
through our inherited
and lifetime experienced images,
reiterative relationships ebbing and swelling,
bilateral communications densing and thinning,
stereophonic polyphonic harmonic memories,
walked and talked in resonant full octaves of sight and sound,
preferring graceful dance and songs of SacredEarth.

We are bicameral energy of polypathic polynomials
surrounded in all four dimensions
of secular space and sacred bilateral time
through consciously intending WinWin positive choices
avoiding LoseLose pathology of Left against ElderRight dissonance.

Mundane Ego and Sacred WiseElder Right EcoRelationships
of Love
as also Positive Psychology
Grace
and Karma
and what Bucky Fuller defined,
and perhaps too densely refined,
as Synergy.

Synergy of Earth’s cooperative LeftBrain Convex
and DoubleBound DiPolar RightBrain Concave,
iconically Yang-Yin,
DNA-RNA spirals
of temporal revolutionary authorities,
responsibilities,
care of and for WinWin choices
as cosmic health,

And LoseLose as Earth’s ParadiseLost
through EitherOr (0)Sum competition choices.

And WinLose evolutionary models
of monocultural AnthroMight Makes Right.
infinitely hopeless suboptimization
of all God’s Sacred Creation,
originally NotNot (0)Sum-Core-Soul of Earth’s
BlackHole AlphaPoint,
predicating DNA emergence from RNA intelligence,
rededicating Ego’s LeftBrain emergence
from EcoSystemic RightBrain’s WiseElder
energy democracy intent.

“Energy democracy”
says Denise Fairchild and Al Weinrub
in The Community Resilience Reader,
“represents a new social [restorative] justice paradigm.”

For some of us,
this is more RightBrain sacred nutrition of a HigherPower
and for some of us
more LeftBrain Ego’s mindbody energy
is just positive
or negative
or double negative double-binding ambivalence
equivalence in-between Polypathic
and NotNot Polyphonic.

But,
if energy democracy,
whether secular or sacred or BothAnd WinWin,
points toward a revolutionary new ego-eco justice health paradigm,
then negative secularizing Energy Totalitarianism
represents commodification of Energy as EgoCapital Supremacy
and not really what we would want to call Business As Healthy Usual.

EitherOr presumptions of LeftBrain dominance
are biassed to tolerate injustices
of an evolutionary model with monoculturing aggression norms
and values,
ethics and RedBlood horror and terror aesthetics.

Yang EgoMight has become not only better
but also ecopolitically stronger
and over-nutritionally invested,
too big,
too robust
until overpowering Yin’s EcoSystemic Solidarity,
RightBrain’s sacred nutritional values
for ecopolitically and personally
and intimately cooperative EarthSoul Health,
flowing out from within.

Energy fascism,
totalitarian aspirations of AnthroCentric monoculturalism
is contrary to our notnot (0)Core primal relationships
rooted in Earth’s cooperative history of SacredEnergy Commons,
composed of many diversely polyculturing subclimates,
as healthier,
more sustainable,
with more integrity,
and more sacred,
and more LeftRight mindbody consciously resonant,
and more bilaterally (0)-Sum WinWin ecosystemically abundant,
and more Yang with Yin
BothAnd
RightBrain WiseElder Original Intent
of DNA’s regenerating phylogeny and homological unfolding
than Yang EgoCentrism’s constant EitherOr strategizing
toward ultimate LoseLose entropic final retributive
self-cannibalizing unjust ends
of an angry capital-sucking polarization
of might have become timeless Sacred Natural NurturingEnergy.

LeftBrain energy hubris overpowers
Elder RightYin-LeftYang Newer non-elite gratitude

Reasons for Seasons

Honey.
A question.

One?

For now.
Subject to chain-reaction change.

As long as we’re clear
about our lack of restraining rules.

Quite so, dear.
I’m wondering about that line
“Jesus is the reason
for the Season.”
What was the reason
before JesusSeason?

I mean,
Joseph and Mary
and their parents,
What was their reason
for this Season?
Whatever they called early Winter
back in better
and perhaps somewhat cooler atmospheric days?

They had Hanukkah
I suppose.
But it was more of a political victory celebration
and I’m not sure if it was in December.

What about the Solstice
or fertility rights and wrongs
and other confusing
and often bloody industrious
things of that sort?

Solstice maybe.
But fertility and harvest thereof…
Well, doesn’t sound like the reason
for this Season.

Maybe the butchering and harvest part
if you’re in retail
within Christendom.

Or hospitality.

Speaking of hospitality,
didn’t that visit to Bethlehem
have something to do with an end of year inventory
or census
or something about adding things up
and planning for the future?

So the reason
for this Season
was death and taxes?

Maybe sales tax revenues.
They used to count productive heads.
Now we add up business profits
as Sacred Advent
anticipates income tax Season
with dread.

A very warming thought
dearest.

I think we would do better
to sing
Jesus is A good reason
for the Season.

More of a traditional excuse
for blatant commercialism
and collecting taxes from poor people
for most of Christendom
wouldn’t you say?

You’re so cynical
in the morning.
And by evening
comatose.

That’s right dear.
A range of cynical through comatose.

Which probably has something to do with this dark Solstice.

Another reason for Advent Season.

Another question comes to mind.

Of course, dear,
as we both knew,
your curiosity grows insatiable.

What if Gaia
is just another name
for Holy Spirit?

And Holy Spirit
was just another KingJames name
for Spiritus Mundi
of Greek nondualistic nature-spirit mystics
speaking with Rabbinical scholars
over two thousand years ago,
while Jesus listened?

What if a post-millennial
Second Transitional Coming
of Indra’s NetZero Polyphonic Age
was another way of feeling
CoMessianic Sacred Becoming
one Body of continuously Holy EnSpiriting Christendom.

Christ
as ethological reason
for CoMessianic Advent Seasons
gifting grace forward
through Matriarchal Gaian Mundi EnSpiritus.

 

Any good Jewish son,
in historical times and languages of Jesus
the Nazarene,
would know,
If a question of authentic interpretation of teaching,
of Original Intent
of a divine law or teaching,
a nature-spirit rule,
such as a WinWin Golden MultiCulturing Rule,
were to healthy co-arise,
It is a matter of unchanging exegetically orthodox Tradition,
that discerning authorities
turn to Rabbinical lines of the Teacher
in focal point of historical-cultural study.

It might, then, be important to Jesus the Nazarene evangelists
pf truly good ecopolitical news,
to remember Greek nature-mystic nondual philosophies
embraced by pre-industrialized,
AgrarianCentric Gaian EcoSystemic Philosophers
of natural-spiritual polypathic wisdom,

Listening and watching MotherEarth’s
spiraling Win-Win revolutions
and Win-Lose LeftBrain reactionary over-investment
in retributive justice
against egocentric hubris,
and older root degenerative messages

SecularMinds CoArising SacredHearts

In our Physics Departments
our most salient awareness
grows
of those nature-spirit entities
most easily seen
and heard
and smelled
as animated and animating,
sometimes more,
sometimes less,
in our daily ritualistic lives
of solids
and liquids
and gases
and plasma
and bilateral neural pathways
of interdependent communication.

In our MetaPhysics Department,
still moldering behind neglected ivied walls,
emerges a nondual Universe of deductive Earth sciences
and inductive Paradise nurturing arts
expressing polypathic co-arising philosophies
rooted in ecological sensory experience
of the successfully regenerating Ages.

Even beings not yet seen
or heard
or still smelled as vibrantly animated,
and sometimes not so much,
more exegetically static Traditions,
defined through BusinessAsUsual LeftBrain dominance,
in fact are both becoming and unbecoming
if only at a rock-hard atomic 4D primal spacetime

We are multi-tiered cooperative nesting-unresting,

following our sacred 4-dimensional SpaceTime

We are capable of empathizing with exterior look and feel,

Emerging together toward Left-Right cooperative diastatic Win-Win maturity,

This egosystemic inside empathy

restorative views of profound integrity’s re-animating potential
of and for ecopolitical and personal and familial justice
within and without,
inside yin and outside yang,
co-animating presence
of SacredGaian Earth.

Does all animation matter?
Do each life and death matter?

To some
and for some
and for some regenerative v degenerative purposes,
these answers are Yes!,
or at least open to maybe yes,
rather than merely not animated yet
and also not any nature-spirit more.

Even a hypothetical Yes
to intentionally co-animate empathic faith
in
and for
and with
and from
all creations
and recreations,
generations
and regenerations,
past through present toward future
could re-animate more positive karma

CoAnimating Love creolizes Synergy ourselves,

Better Climate Questions

It has been said
There is no bad question
asked with cooperative integrity.

While those asked with competing disintegrity,
mendaciously,
are not really questions at all.

That said,
conceded as asked and answered,
Some questions remain
more ecologically and economically,
politically and personally,
publicly and intimately,
naturally and spiritually
more significant than others.
More urgent
in times of great climate global extinctions,
than mere national economic recessions.

I remember an economics class
at Yale
when the moderate,
academically and politically even-handed,
almost philosophically bipolar professor
argued with persuasion
about historically proven polarizing dangers
of this growing divide between rich
and poor,
within nations
and across international economies,
still-emerging gaps
and cracks
and fissures
between upper-middle stasis
and revolutionarily unrested lower-middle diastasis,
with an evaporating populist median,
midway,
Tipping cooperative values
against competing disvalued Points
between these antagonistic two;
forming One Great Transitioning Divide–
plutocratic predators and cooperatively-huddling prey.

But,
I also remember his frustration
about economic scholars
not having a robust theory
to explain why
financial and political history
tell this story
without apparent evolutionary reason,
or intent to survive,
much less co-invest
in mutual thrival,
perhaps revolutionary gospel revival
of trusts and truths DNA-democratically held
and savored.

He could not explain why
the Democratic Party
has made more cooperative multi-class creolizing sense
to worry about this growing bad climate
while the Republican Party
has made mere plutocratic competitive nonsense
to deny historic significance
of growing traumatic polarization
between Elites
and increasingly segregated,
and marginalized,
and criminalized
NonElites,
assumed to be worthy of God’s further retributive justice
so poorly earned
by our own uncompetitive powerlessness,
lack of divinely-inspired wealth
or fame
or influence.

As Taoists,
or any healthy bicameral-bilateral permacultural developers
of any creed or color,
organically committed to investing only in Win-Win NonZero-Sum Games,
toward polyculturing-creolizing health-wealth outcomes,
we can see why this growing hyphenated economic divide
presents a growing disparate survival trend
for living Earth,
as habitable by humane-divine nature,
and increasingly inhabitable first for swarms of angry NonElites
whose children are at growing risk of death
by drowning
or fire
or being ballistic blown
off this face
of Green-Blue synergetic MotherEarth.

We can see why restorative ecojustice
grows a healthier climate
than a retributive Elitist egojustice
of punishment through non-competitive NonElite neglect,
disinvestment.

Economic models of national
and cultural history questions
seldom ask,
Is it appropriate
to believe economic values and disvalues
have a reasonable option
to become informed by ecological values and disvalues
or to irresponsibly ignore them,
even deny them,
to ignore our intrinsic and intuitive health-wealth interdependence,
as if Earth’s regenerative values and creation laws
were somehow alien and NonElite
as compared to humane-divine investment values
and wealth-defensive laws.

Organic farmers and gardeners
and nondual philosophers
and metaphysicists
and ethologists
and ecologists,
cooperative evolutionists,
and all EarthMothers
know there can be no healthy economic choice for any ego’s investment
that is an anti-ecological monoculturing choice
against Earth’s basic cooperative-synergetic
healthy creolizing
regenerating nature.

Ours is not to compete with MotherNature
but to cooperate restoring justice and peace
within EarthMother Tribes and Species
asking better richer deeper wider bilateral questions
beyond the last and upcoming fiscal quarter,
beyond the last and upcoming four-year ecopolitical term,
beyond the last and upcoming forty years,
beyond the last and upcoming four hundred years.

Buckminster Fuller
and Jesus Christ
and LaoTse,
among others,
have all economically and politically observed
It is the role of a health-invested society
to restoratively facilitate
cooperative ecological development of individuals,
to make it easier to become polyculturing outcomed families,
multiculturing cooperatively-owned communities
and nations of ecological MedianExpanding Matriotism
in equivalent dialogue
with economically co-invested patriots of Earth.

I remember an economics class
when our question facilitator
of deep cooperative ecological understanding,
passionately reviewed emergent evidence
of richly creolizing populist cooperators
against monoculturing elitist bigotry
and retribution’s too wealth-invested prejudice,
as if humane-divine
nature-spirit
health-wealth integrity
were questions
other than DNA prepared
within our ecological EarthMother’s Womb.

Playing Old Maid

I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.

There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck rural Republican Michigan,
the most fun
of admittedly limited card playing options.

Whoever was stuck holding the Old Maid
at end of game
was the biggest loser,
for obvious reasons.

Who would want to be associated
with that old and useless appendage?

National politics in the U.S.,
all about the marketing, purchase, and sale
of two-year
and four-year terms of public greed responsibility,
increasingly reminds me
of OldMaid gamesmanship.

And, yes,
I don’t really mean gamepersonship.

This game for avoiding loss
of responsibility and authority,
loss of face
rather than gain of grace,
embracing mutual Wins
of shared commitment to health
and cooperatively prosperous safety,

This game in which the OldMaid
is played by aging fossil-fuel industries
played-out too often militarized
ballistic violence,

These OldMaid industrial choices
have most ballistically justified
plutocratic wars
inviting young,
and often most marginalized,
players
to live with losses to OldMaid political stuckness
in the name of patriotic duty,

Although not matriotic integrity
to our own healthy hands
for better Win-Win games
and political
and economic
and personal
and family therapy strategies,
less violently impinged by nationalistic traumas,
fear of losses
holding OldMaid over-industriously held cards.

No one wants to be in unlovely public office
when the last drop of oil
and last glistening gasp of gas
wears through now useless OldMaid pumps
and pistons,
unhappy triggers
and transdegenerational switches,
unlubricated OldMaid economic bitches.

No one wants to be in office
holding the last OldMaid dry-humped card
from a 1950s stacked deck
when 2020 revisions
change climate changing hands
into feminist story books
of how our generation
deliberately and stubbornly chose,
like stiff-necked self-chosen people
of OldMaids and PatriarchalMen,
counter-intuitively choosing the climate pathology card,
fascinated by our own death
and the death of our habitat
and the death of any future
of humane proportion and design,
rhythm and pattern.

When we have so many post-millennial cooperative Win-Win options
to actively hope
and act
and restoratively plan
and therapeutically draw climate health
for both ego and eco justice
and global peace for all,
including sacred Elder Matriotic Maids.

If only Old Feminist Maids and Matriotic Men
had written all required history
and civic lesson school books
and ecopolitical philosophy texts
and medicinal prescriptions
and legislated cooperative multicultural ethics
lesson plans
to practice
practice
practice
cooperation,

I wonder if having the Elder Matriot card
would have been how to win our Win-Win game,
and to do so,
would require letting go of all Old FakePatriot cards
of plutocratic,
and often patriarchal,
Lose-Lose economic-ecological exploitations,

Also post “ClimateChange”
known and named
as habitually competitive ClimatePathologies
longing to restore ClimateHealth.

More Audacious Hope

Senator Obama’s Audacity of Hope
ends with listing memories,
visual images,
that rekindle his love for this imperfectly united Place

For his Country,
this humane Habitat
for mutual care-giving,
and at least implies this is all he needs,
not yet all he hopes,
for mutual care-receiving.

His vocational visions
of cooperatively developing this Place
are common to cultures
across six of seven Continents,
inhabited by a healthy
and peace-intentional
People

People for restoring naturally cooperative justice,
not so much relying on retribution,
threat of punishment,
ruthless egotistic competitions,
with Win-Lose evolutionary assumptions
about this sacred Planet.

He runs along Washington’s Mall,
while remembering bakers baking bread,
and masons laying bricks and blocks
and Lincolns inaugurating good-faith speeches
and Kings gathering rainbows of good hope
while watching homeless men on benches
rearranging, endlessly, their possessions,
their bricks and blocks for survival,
without judgment or condemnation,
even if without understanding,
with gratitude,
basic positive attitude,
on each and every side.

For, if we do not have proof
those who are differently arranged
and languaged
and encultured
and flagged
than ourselves
are not doing their best,
are not filled with their portion of sacred cooperative grace
for developing this Place,
our spaces
interdependent
and in nondual dipolar relationship,
And who could know another’s Place
so intimately and vulnerably
to have such proof of mere malicious malingering,
shy of Gaian Earth HerSelves?

Then,
without proof of full will and full intent GoldenRule violations,
then we are ethically healthier
and aesthetically more satisfied
to continue in good faith,
We, and those around us,
of all ages
and genders
and cultures
and languages
and colors
and rhythms
and flags
share this grace-filled Place
sacred vocation.

To run through our Washington Malls
of mind and heart with exercising bodies,
Malls of historic healthy wealth development
remembering, with appreciation,
filling with gratitude,
for writers of democracy-growing unity Constitutions,
layers of trust-growing bricks and blocks,
singers of multiculturing faith,
dancers for MotherEarth’s sacred love
and beauty.

Our cooperative relationship with Earth,
and Earth’s diversely polyculturing Tribes,
does not grace us with more life and death
than we can handle satisfactorily,
aesthetically,
and usefully,
ethically,
and in good health,
morally and physically,
until S/He does,
and then we can try our best
to learn to sing
and dance
and co-empower,
to learn restoratively together,
or continue to degenerate
with retribution’s dark intents and purposes
apart.

Restoring democratic climates of health
is also absence of punishing climates of pathology.

Run through democracy’s Malls
for cooperative-growing unity
to run away from plutocracy’s Centers
for competing-punitive uniformity.
