Notes About The Poem

Inspired by, "Someone once wisely observed that if one's only tool is a key, then every problem will seem to be a lock."  Diane Ackerman, in "The Enchanted Loom"

Green Keys For Redrusty Locks

Said the sacred green EcoFeminist
to the hard 
and carnal red EgoPatriarch:

If one's only ego-weapon
is a hard erectile key
then every perennial trauma
will seem to be a locked 
and toxic 
traumatized
closed up tight
back and forth shut down
with all his might
anti-bright
Black Hole.

So it is
in monocultures,
where spirited nature
abhors a well-rooted YangWoke vacuum

As if pregnant enculturing wombs
were a personally disempowering
contradiction
of indigenously natured
panentheistic 
naturally sacred inside
open hole systemic outside
root chakra Yintegrity

For resiliently optimizing
multiculturing cooperative
integrally copulating
co-impassioned 
opening poles for otherwise
empty closed-out binomial hole

Metric bicameral systems
positive 1 through not negative 0
systemic yang/yin mediation
for wu-wei natural-ego inside 
eco-spirited outside environments

AnthroSupremely
monotheistic privileged worship
through worn out right-hand jobs
nurturing compulsive 1's only tool
to relieve a LeftBrain dominant 
verbal keynote loud overspeaker

So every not perennial 
impulsive non-0 zone 
win/lose deflowering problem
looks rationally Either/Or
and sounds Mine/Or-Thine
and yet smells potentially fertile

Refilling a locked-up integrity
integral womb 
of polytheistic potential
compassionately awaiting princely One poles
fulfilling Holy win/win systemic Peace 
with wellness Zero wholes
compassionately co-investing
zen souls.
