Distancing Communication
Distancing communication
seems like an oxymoron,
like dissonant communion.
My ego center speaks communication
while my organic systemic body listens
for cooperatively co-invested communion
Discerning what feels confluent,
resonant with ecological
health is wealth
EarthTribal indigenous experience
AND what feels like aggressive,
possibly predative,
lose/lose DIScommunication
distressed communication
dissonant noise
dissociative distancing,
sometimes ominously silent
dormant trauma
terminal absence
of verbally transparent communication
AND what feels like dualistic
win/lose MIScommunication,
missed cooperative win/win opportunity
too Either my way
Or hit the highway
competitively risky,
Agreeing to disagree
for now too egocentric
narcissistic
too anthrosupremacist
too StraightWhiteMale privileged
too LeftBrain verbally dominant
too lacking co-passion,
too unwoke,
but feeling more like inhumane ignorance
than lose/lose malignant
despairing
pathological intent
to DIScommunicate.
My ecosystemic body feels
Trust in win/win active hope,
DIStrust for surviving lose/lose climate despair,
economic and ecological degeneration,
MIStrust of win/lose monoculturing monopolies
monotheistic
monochromatically anthrosupremacist
Preachers
and teachers
of pure white
bright paternalistic capitalism
as Earth's only way
truth
life toward healthy salvation.
Trust breeds neuro-systemic integrity.
DIStrust feeds overwhelming feelings
of violently weaponed despair.
MIStrust of win/lose
either/or
LeftBrain dominant thinking
not compliant with ecologically healthy experience
is, on my best feeling nontraumatized days
and peace dreaming therapeutic nights,
a co-operating opportunity tool
for responding to health risk
chronically stressed
emotive/cognitive poverty.
