Eighth Grade English
Back in Eighth Graded Class
of StraightWhiteMale English privilege
I learned all healthy narratives
must have at least one
of three tension intentions
Unlike sacred mythic prayer and fable
multicultures invoking poetry
flowing soulfully
provoking gospel primal anthems
Of StraightWhite Man v AnthroOther
Or StraightWhite ManBody v EgoCentric AlienSelf
Or StraightWhite ManSpirit v Earth's Sacred/Carnal Nature
I remain disappointed
by LeftHemisphere narrow-mindedness
of these three Either/Ors
which my RightHemisphere
could more deeply hear
as monocultural lack
of Both/And
inter-trinitarian
academic career
Both HumanTrauma Teacher and DivineTherapy Student
secular fractured
UnRaveling
And Sacred Synergetic ReWeaving
integrity's culturally inclusive
compassionate GreeenEarth Communion.
I thought I had seen and heard
lack of heart resources
among AnthroSupremacist early philosophers
and scripture righter downers
instinctively suppressing liberally democratized
polycultural health-systemic passions
polypathic compassion communicating
polyphonic harmonic resounding
polytheistic God/Love language
restorying polyvagal sacred neurosystems
most actively hoping health
among win/win economically enlightened
and politically empowered EarthWomanist
reflective wealth.
I'm sure I still can feel touched gratitude
for more healthy democratic attitude
co-governing cooperative green co-investments
in EarthMother climate
and family healthcare,
public trust
and domestic caregiving
global communionation,
local nutritional wealth
liberating conservation,
Economically bright
and politically right
ecologically tight relationships
lead
and feed
theologically mighty cooperative reflections
Politically correct
replete with regenerative
healthy co-redemptive
win/win multiculturally meditative
mediation strategies seductive
among win/lose monocultural predatives,
Encouraging, perhaps, a cannabis sedative
and easing up on alcoholic dissociatives
drunk from win/lose evolutionary theories
of AnthroSupremacy Wins Earth's wealthiest superlative
despite stumbling into humbling wounds
of multi-degenerational EcoCide
A more Left/Right Wing balanced
evolutionary race theory of white supremacy
unbalanced
notice of intrinsic narrative tensions
between peaceful intentions
and male militaristic might
colonizing
enslaving
proprietary
patrilinear monocultural domination
going way back through misery
of dualdarkness not-not HiStory
Toward brighter indigenous limbic lights
of early monotheistic SunGod Worship
preferring healthier transparent bright
and wealthier vulnerable win/win
co-sensory centering empowerment
Among prehistoric
preverbal family groups
extended co-empathic kin
PanEnTheistic
early regenerational DNA co-relatives
of wavey Time integrity
and atomic faced Space
bicamerally synergetic
circling ladders
and laddered spiral
co-binary dynamic places
PolyHealth feeding
and EcoWealth watering
compassion's
bilateral co-extensions
InBetween Yang's Open ZeroZone
and Yintegral NonZero Flow
soulful bi-sensory nonviolent response
along polypathic lines
with polyphonic ringing
spaces
harmonic cooperative singing
ringing co-investments
In panoramic
historically dramatic
epic textured narratives
of faithful AnthroSupremacists
learning how much we BlueSky love
and GreenEarth worship
our own
personal
Political ecofeminist
Green empowering
Indigenous GrandMothers
who lived and died
long before verbal language
LeftBrain robustly rewarded
waspy enculturation,
and Eighth Grade English
privileged class.
