Sinister Shadows
When I encounter
GoldenRule shadows
of opportunity
to reduce sinister internal and external health risks,
like my bipolar daughter
yelling "IDIOT!" at me
while feeling up the watermelons
at StopNShop
TilYouDrop
Embracing red-faced shadows
feeling a Fool for tolerating such defiantly public abuse,
acclimating to her maligning
would-be terrorist
knife-searching ways
of RightBrain projecting
while transferring oppositional LeftBrain
deep learning competitions
My GoldenRule Shadow
could not easily restore peace
or any sense of equitable,
even barely Win/Lose tolerable,
justice.
GoldenRule therapeutic opportunities
risk considerable co-investment
in deep learning time
for transfer into transporting roleplay
inviting vulnerable transparency
however non-violently inconvenient
while trying to chop and shop off my well-prepared lists,
Shadows suggesting a silent breath for ego-eco re-acclimation
to reconstruct mutual opportunity space
only half inhabited by sinister shadowed
LoseLose risk--
Bully judge others
before they eat you--
Now emerging wealthy WinLose transference
merging with GoldenRule
Shadow WinWin opportunity
for LeftEgo/RightEco co-acclimation:
Play nice,
or this IDIOT
will cook you,
then eat you,
with salt and pepper,
and some spicy catsup.
Yang transferring health power
of GoldenRule breath coming in-
jesting stark terror,
While yin projecting resonant tone
and co-empathic rhythm flows
more nonviolently inviting out
GoldenRuled opportunity again
to prepare our Idiotic dinner
together.
