Deep Smelly Matters
I find a great deal to learn
from Republican
Supremacist
Nationalistic
Nihilistic Evangelical Rapture
about how to lose eco-political sanity
and lose ecological health.
It feels important to remember
and respect
basic nutritional dumping facts
of public health through reinvestment
and global climate pathology through extraction
apartheid
blame and shame
Some movements smell,
but this does not remove them
from appropriate gut matters
for poets
saints
and sinners.
We civilized Western straight white people
worry about this so much
we dump our waste into our water,
intentionally polluting and sacrificing Earth-generic purity,
rather than planting it in soil,
where healthy scat can grow robust
resilient public and private nutritional green wealth.
Of course poop stinks
or it smells of developing resonant possibilities
for healing polluted
stagnant
depressed
economies;
Fragrance of probabilities
for redeeming corrupted political dissociations,
Sentient scents for a truly multicultural
salvific
robust
resonant
resilient sacred theology
advocating spaces
and time
for natural ecology.
Of course your body waste stinks
of outside wealth-nurturing memories.
But, does it smell healthy,
or too red meat-eater
predative RightWing
toilet twittering
of rapaciously OtherUnWise eco-politics?
