Poem

How might our feeling-language
play its stretching role
toward imagining ourselves and others
differently than we believe we,
and they,
truly are
on our best
and worst day?

Can you find a difference between dark problems, as issues,
and lighter opportunities, as possible resolutions,
in how they feel deeply heavy v. widely bright,
but this difference is not that of opposites within themselves,
so much as dialectical cause-effect appositional feeling
diseased
uneased
and easy.

Issues like gun control 
and anger management
and rabid climate warming
feel too dark and heavy and unpleasant 
to those who love control
and fresh air
and clean water
and nutritious soil
and other healthy things--
not so sure about giving way to violence,
but certainly loving sufficient power 
to control my future 
with human privileged you.

Anyway,
opportunities to control ballistic violence
and re-air issues from a freshly potentiating perspective,
and to water clean health,
rather than develop dark issues and constituencies
living as monoculturally over-consuming AnthroMobs
feel lighter,
more enlightened,
perhaps even a bit more,
I don't know,
maybe bipartisan rebalancing
our WinWin CoOperative Power Game.

How might our interior and exterior therapeutic voices
learn to speak 
through cognitive-affective dark-languaged dissonance,
for engaging co-invested awareness 
of light feels good
and politically healthy
and compellingly bright
as night contrasting day

Unjust dusk
predicting yet another peaceful dawn?
