Snail Trails and Rat Tails

To and for, and possibly from, Bucky Fuller's synergetic Zeroism.
My transportive
awesome Muse
speaks of a hiking trail
for an aging snail.
My communicative
wondrous music
is dancing choreography
for an ageless bee
coming.
I ask if I might speak
with the Editor in Chief
of my town's daily GoodNews Bulletin...
No.
I do not have an appointment...
Yes.
It is regarding GoodNews
for his local variety show
he hopes to continue WinWin Gaming
hereabout
and OtherWise.
Golden Rules
and governing Ratios of trust
over active distrust,
investing in PositivEnergy
over
Negative BadNews...
Once inside this CEO's office,
I thank him for his patriarchal time
and then spin a matriarchal web
yarn.
I ask him if he is interested
in partnering with our EcoSchool Academy
to harvest youth-led Green investigative
journal telling stories
about public health v RedHot pathology.
He asks me,
Why and how do you see
Public, or even Private, Health
sufficiently and necessarily Green?
It seems to me,
he circuitously continues,
our circulatory nutrition systems
are red going in
and mysteriously blue respiration
breathing bilaterally out
Left and Right synergetic
Elder Right with Younger Left dynamic
old spiritual and new natural EarthTribes
of RNA then DNA extended family enscriptions
for Earth CoRevolutionary Survivors
rock rolling
MotherEarth Matriarchal SpaceTime,
4D RealTime
WinWin GoodNews Bulletins.
This sounds EgoSelf-serving,
now that I rewind and wind and wind,
and perhaps too eco-centrically webbed
for LeftBrain dominants
to fractally follow
patriarchally along,
but that might explain
the Editor in Chief's
GoodNews circulatory problems,
pathological trends
too Red for resilient Right with Left Wings,
and actively cooperating feet.
Predictably,
Chief Editor
asks about who is paying for all this
and how will these stories
grow ad revenue.
So I use an example
of a real world,
not fake news,
journalistic activism scenario--
a Thought Experiment
for cooperative dialectal two.
Students, in secure pairs,
could survey Cliff St. neighbors
to find out how many renters
and homeowners
have had rodent issues this winter.
Why is that a reasonable question to ask?
My oldest son lives there
with hungry river rats
eating his refrigerator
and his stove
wiring.
He has noticed
extermination winter service trucks
and growing trends
frequently about accumulating private health investment,
and steel over concrete
double-barriers non-absorbing,
more appropriate to resist
our four-legged too friendly pests.
I see Public Health
but I still don't see Green Activism.
The rats
and their terrorized roommates
probably see this as a Green cooperative ownership concern,
health-supporters avoiding way too much BadNews bloodshed issues,
competing and losing investments and assets,
nests and tails and pet paws
with their side-by-side neighbors,
hoping to spend less of little competitively-gained green goodnews
they have left for food,
now rodent-devoured,
and new wind-poured refrigerators
and new solar-fueled stoves
autonomously,
because of an unspoken
and, to date,
not noticed Public Pathology expense
of anti-cooperatively owned
WinWin Green
seen as too Red RightWing economic
and political
LeftBrain dominant
WinLose issues.
Which sells BedNews and GoodNews papers
and larger circulations
increase values for local ad co-investors,
Especially from exterminator for-profits
and neighborhood revitalization non-profits,
and public and private health services.
And possibly Green STEM EcoSchools
and PositivEnergy Cooperative Corporations
and CoHousing Developers,
and Rodent Rights Advocates,
and Tenant Organizers,
and Attorneys
and Domestic Cleaning Services
and appliance recyclers
and Environmental Protection Agencies...
You had me with BadNews exterminators.
So what's in this for you?
My oldest son and I
co-own his home.
While he has no frig
or stove
he comes to my place to eat and eat.
That young man
and his girl
can EAT!
And, I'm paying for half
of our exterminator contract
with my Social Security income.
Why do you ask?
Because if you have no skin in this WinWin Game,
then I don't know if I can trust
your lack of ego-investment.
For me,
to be a Green 2020 Health Revolutionary
is awesomely resonant wealth
of Earth's Bilateral Resilience,
sung through my-our DNA's past co-investments
regenerating Earth's EcoSchool History.
My reincarnating
awesome DNA-RNA Muse
unfolds hiking snails
merging ancient four-seasoned trails.
My inside music
wondrous bilateral communication
dances bee language
of ageless choreography
becoming co-operators.
