Grasping Distractions
Maybe it's just me.
So, I'm asking,
as focused, yet open
as I could ever hope to be,
Do negative correlations
between inhaling
and exhaling
Earth's sensory WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between grasping on
and distracting off?
I am not sure why
this question could be economically
or politically
or psychologically
or neurobiologically significant
In this time of great polarized
climate EarthHealth and EconomicSafety crisis,
and yet,
it persistently seems so
as I attempt,
in my EarthView solitude,
to exhale and detract from
left hemisphere verbal
monopolizing
demanding dominance
To inhale and grasp toward
more right hemisphere nonverbal
nonviolent communing
climate therapeutic
in-between re-association
re-syncing thought and feeling
re-communing secular and sacred
re-ligioning
Green
and blue
and red
ultra-violet reweaving
Earth's climate health
grasping fresh inhalations
and distracting patriarchal stale capitalism's
white male privileged
pompous hortatorical reiterations
of Fight Makes Godless Right
Grasping or distracting reactionary
nonresponsiveness
to our secular
and sacred longings
for EarthHealth
and DemocraticSafety
non-oppositional points of WorldView.
