Risky Weeds: Opportunity Seeds
Weeds,
stupid and dull and ravenous,
do not wonder
why you have gathered them,
They are hardly aware of you
at all times.
Plants,
like animals,
do not lie down with awed privilege
for you to harvest them.
Plants,
unlike animals,
are transparently unaware
of your risky approach
in all deadening times,
avoiding health wealth opportunities
remaining detached from enriching Earth's
deep learning recycles.
People,
unlike nations
and planets
and plants,
are polypathically aware of outside-eco
yin-spiritual risks
in all polyphonically natural
inside-egotherapeutic opportune days
and nightmare egocentric
risky anthrocentric
dark-yin spirited
dissonant nights
haunting
Seeds do not wonder
why you have included them
in ductive shadow valleys.
We are hardly aware
of our historic environmental Selves
in and through
all reseeding MountainEarth
valleys of bilateral SacredTime.
Weeds,
even those found toilet twittering
to avoid thinking too much
about how much our own insides mortally stink,
do not wonder
why we have gathered here.
Weeds are hardly aware of
polypathic seeds
for cooperative opportunity
in all polyphonic Sacred Times
with Places
PolyCultural Faces.
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there."
Rumi
