My Son

I have a son
with more than his share of heart
and mindbody intelligence,
to comprehend vastness of Earth’s evolving history
and future demise,
to comprehend full emptiness of universes within
and without
co-arising unitarian polyphonic verses,
enough intelligence to reconnect hunted feelings
by our deep dark haunting insignificance
as a monotheistically disconnected
AnthroSupremacist species.

His own autonomous Ego value so inconsequential
he doubts his worthiness for food he eats
water he drinks
air he breathes,
much less worthy of competitive employment
or any healthy sense of developing vocation,
therapeutic purpose,
indigenously sacred meaning 
midst his inhumane tragic environment
at our dubious best 
a degenerating musical comedy 
cooperative win/win 
integral re-ligioning network.

This, he can more or less virtually find
on-line,
but not so much within his own family,
much less competitive game-playing school.
Well, maybe there were a few therapeutic exceptions
to the neurosystemic traumatizing teaching system
comparing favorably/unfavorably each student
against all competing for wokeness OtherTribes 
challenging wealthy capital-enriched student
leftbrain verbally dominant academic-cognitive rule

Everyone playing an absurd Win/Lose 
anthroprivileged unnatural monotheistic game,
with planet-loser death 
the inevitable godless outcome 
for each and all interdependent
living neuro-crown/eco-root 
Holonic Nature/Spirit
Body/Mind neurosensory 
nondualistic
nonviolent win/win healthcare
preferential panentheistic co-arising
dipolar cooperative communionation systems.

In the meantime,
should we choose to fiddle while Earth prepares 
to burn in the middle
and flood on the shores,
why not orchestrate WinWin cooperative
deep learning strategies
more fun understanding our neurodiversely triggered sons

More opportunity to improve interactive communication
and binomial-fractal
dialectical behavior analysis,
to co-invest empirical-cooperative research methods
in a pro-active win/win healthy 
open communicative
economic and political kind of Taoist way.

But, of course,
Taoism, in his expansive view,
hides in a Pandora box labeled “GENESIS of RELIGION”
wherein a metaphysical cat half dead
and physically only at best half alive,
as if spirit is felt trusted without any graceful organic
pantheistic polyvagal WinLeft/WinRight
cognitive-verbal/intuitive nonverbal nature
as if yin were other than absent reverse nondual inside 
yang’s spacious revolving bilateral time;

Spirituality implying he walks through 
EarthTribe's divinely inspired comedy
with few speaking parts and no solos allowed,
which he knows could not be true
unless divine inspiration
is no more or less
than human natural regenerative DNA panentheism,
developing organically interdependent life forms,
informational prime communication patterns 
and communal rhythms,
synergetic invitations toward gratitude,
integrative predestination of phylogenic bilateral form
revolving through Earth’s interdependent 
appositional co-binary bits 
of orbiting time.

To what end
could we possibly become repurposed
re-connected
re-ligioned?
for one who prefers flash-mob cooperatives
to MonoTheistic capitalized competitions,
with polyculturally inclined neuro-sexsensory interests 
of richly spiritual 
densely natural 
fertile healthy sharing
this hour,
this game,
this day's plan,
but without actively articulating hope for any self support,
thrival nutrients for his polyvagal body;
not just nurturing his polypathic mind.

Surprising to me
how my lovely son quickly learned to see
spiritual as natural 
mind embodied nonduality,
but has yet to recover his deep embryonic 
sexsensory vulnerable roots
crowning enlightenment's transparency,
much less divine beauty mind 
as also humane trusting body
engaging musical comedic unity
without aspiring toward performing
capitalism's kleptocratic tasks
with monolithic uniformity.
