Exit Strategy
To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled
echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale
silent sacred pause
for Earth's final soliloquy
Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy
Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven
Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof
Future obligations
and past assets
Resigning from risks of love
without redesigning
further life-health opportunities
for growth
profit
power
light
gladness
sadness
Thriving phat integrity
surviving clenched cultural chaos,
trying to move on
toward unmitigated peace
without restoring justice
exit strategies
To give in
to unwoke,
embrace those hidden socialist
give-away
cooperative sacred economy dreams
of distributing retiring funds
down toward drop dead zero,
and enjoy slimming poverty.
To give up any worries
about disempowering anomalies
and anti-christs,
witch
and wizard hunts,
coloring too wildly unnoticed
outside contemporary lines
to do no harm to,
and feel most helpful for,
future organic EarthTribe
resilient regenerations
Choosing to wake up
to say goodbye
to fear of death,
to instead actively intend farewell
with loving kindness
for sacred Elder's repurposing life,
warm regard for mindbodied self
and trauma-surviving Others
still actively hoping to achieve
our cooperatively co-invested
panentheistic Win/Win
holonic mindbody spirit
compassionate nature
To not grasp and cling and hide
hedonistic hippy fantasies
due to fear of not sufficiently insuring
against personal loss;
to embrace becoming deep learning champions
of curious bipartisan courage
even in these last democracy darkening days
To commit to my exit process as deeply
and fully
as I co-invested in my birthing process--
neither outcome involving my total control
of most intimate and integrally gendered situations
co-binary balance
hopeful persuasions
rich peak experience potential
for addiction
and aversion
and co-passion;
Both living and dying
involve some range of choice-making
sometimes remembering
victimization
marginalization
systemic win/lose traumatization
always flowing painfully
in-between full of hopeful opportunity
and emptiness of faithless risk
ignoring sacred EarthTribe's future
Especially regarding personal property
and superior anthro-properties
and especially NOT disregarding potential
for integral sacred relationships
transcending personal lifelines,
dipolar co-arising love
for last life's win/lose risks
exposing tomorrow's win/win
ego/eco-recentering opportunity
For a more curious exit strategy
peaking life as love
in fast gathering time
and now slowing peace-filling lanes
recycling seasonal
multicultural
multigenerational
enriching circles
emblazing encultured colors
To optimize health,
safety,
joy,
release,
freedom for Self and Others
in this final preparation
for Great Transition's
final interdependent gift economy
Healthy and wealthy exit strategies
wisely pay compassion forward
to minimize trauma,
chronic stress,
deep shame anxieties,
depression,
sadness,
claustrophobia,
xenophobia,
stuckness,
faithlessness,
despair,
disorganic systems failure
To let go gracefully
with emotional intelligence
To not get spiritually lost
in physical and mental loss
of what was miraculous
and sacred
to ever have gained
To warmly embrace
and release
my turn to speak
and sing
and dance
and passionately communicate
continues to pass
one day in light/dark time
To strategically exit
as I have,
at my wisest and best,
entered
and re-entered each dawn
to listen with compassion
and learn with active curiosity
To clear a sacred space
and sufficient time
for Others to resonate timefully,
tunefully listen
soulfully feel
more compassionately rhyming reason
win/win together
than falling carelessly apart
stuck in win/lose
hunt or starve
through ripening
and wintering seasons
To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled per minute diem
echoing first breath inhaled
penetrating sustained
Exit strategies
waiting to finally exhale,
pausing EarthTribe's requiem.
