Problems With Number 45
Donald John!
Didn't your mother teach you?
We do not aim our scissors
at our allies
when they ask us
to share our dangerously cutting weapons.
We also do not run over our best customers.
When we play more nicely with the playground bullies
than with our cooperative allies.
then we soon have no reliable friends
and more empowered predators.
But,
that's not what they paid us
in passing grades
to do and say
when I went to real property
Predation and Commodification School.
Donald John!
Didn't your daddy teach you
Choose your positive and resilient Vocational Teachers
as health wealthy wise
as available
at the lowest possible price?
Preaching how to apply:
Win for Planet Earth
Win for all polyculturing Plants
and Win for growing healthy People
polypathic
ego/eco-therapeutic
triple bottom-line
sacred principles of Golden CoOperative Rule?
That doesn't sound dad, or even smell much like him...
Maybe.
We'll have to see, won't we?
If so, probably one of his adult ADHD elevator speeches
and my hands were grabbing
for other busyness acquisitions.
Donald John!
Didn't your parents teach you
This is the moment
more attentive minds
might gratefully ask
why I ask?
What did you ask again?
I'm not sure if I was hearing
an inappropriate ecofeminist question.
