Here We Are

Here we are huddling together, neither our collective nightmare nor our communal wetdream. At our best, struggling together with future and past health of generations, at our worst competing against each other, resenting what our parents and grandparents took before us, and what our children and grandchildren expect from us. Here we are, reincarnating mythic images of what becomes theoretically possible for our love, our multicultural diversity maintaining primal economic as political power-with constants, while finding ever new regeneratively positive variables to produce our soul food flow trends, savory exchanging erotic health for globally accessible nutrition, while snapping food from each other's mouth like rabid turtles, learning to hoard and commodify ecopolitical values of water and its freedom to flow out, as we once valued gold. Here we are, dry-hump huddling together hoping our sky will not collapse before we have sucked Earth raw.
