Poem
I was tying up her second shoe when the second coming came. The first had been the night before when the bus demons dropped her off to say they might be back but weren't exactly sure when, while I tied up her second right foot shoe. I asked her why she throws right shoes and socks and pants and fairly stinky pullups at the driver and she tells me these are her second amendment rights to blast or not to throw or not as she so whimsically pleases. What shall I say while tying up her second shoe during this unexpected second coming of her bus to take her back to school? Teaching through a culture of gratitude where each personal right also grows a political responsibility, each right a gift of well-tied shoe gratitude to be paid back with an avalanche of positive attitude for each unexpected second coming. This second coming comes and goes and I turn to my good news day living in a sacred matriotic patriotic land with property rights of responsible gratitude owned right up to but not extending past the launch of MotherEarth's second shoe now flowing downriver to tumultuous seas beyond all rights dominating FatherLands, without waiting for this second shoe to drop back toward any bus of positively responsible attitude. Cultures of seasoned gratitudes are also cultures of healthy wealth for second comings restoring matriarchal justice overwhelming patriarchal retributive punishments, reiterative angry rights of First Shoe responsibilities for freedom's speech and active expression with Second Shoe rights and responsibilities of liberty's gratitude for restoring it's original intent carrying responsibility for protecting this First Shoe's positive gratitude potential through responsible attention to this second coming time to release MotherEarth's second independent shoe from further ballistic harms and fouls and violent intent to irresponsibly not address a rightful culture of gratitude for unexpected second comings, as both feet, right with left, race together cooperatively gendered and re-aligned for school on her second coming bus. Unfortunately, I was still gratefully tying up her second amendment gifted rights with pay-back cooperating responsibilities of gratitude for all well-souled shoes when the second coming left without the rights and responsibilities of delivering my ballistically naked daughter back to her well-schooled gratitude for rights with concomitant responsibilities to and for each other to never claim them in a way that would deny their at-least-equal free and safe and healthy expression to and with another. Tomorrow morning, there will be no second coming. No need to tie up rights with responsibilities for well-souled second shoes, not intended for marching into militias of revengeful angry justice when schools enculture restorative mercies for well-gifting second comings. But, that will be next Tuesday, and right now we face a four day weekend of restorational mercies with both first and second grateful shoes well-tied together, yet apart rights restored first on right non-violent intent with lefts for grateful second co-responsibilities for never marching toward violence where ballstage dancing to love's anthems is also gratefully offered in home as school. ----------------------------------------------------- Allegory wears an ecological precision not intended, yet implied, here with now co-incidental, cooperatively double-bound, like seasonal reasons for first grateful amendments first, leaving second amendments to restoratively readjust responsibilities toward our first EarthTribe becoming capable of cooperative speech before and after all through cultures of gratitude, Multi-poly-enculturations of healthy-wealth amendments all tied up in waiting for our way too long delayed first with second coming, left exhausted then right more cooperatively becoming untied at last together.
