Not My Responsibility

I am responsible and responsive to every human built shelter I have experienced as home, mine to use, to buy further improvements or sell, to renovate or destroy. I am responsible and vulnerably responsive to every lot of unimproved real estate, every plot against healthy soil and supporting water systems and plants and living creatures who once called this place, home, this space, habitat to cooperatively use to regenerate healthy wealth and to degenerate diseased corruption. I am accountable when cooperative responsibilities become transparent from now back toward Earth's uncivilized precivilized uncompromised civility, Wildness, wilderness, contemplative silence, celebrating cacophony, Polyphonic polypathic chaotically complex beautifully true, magnificently not mine.
