"Do nothing
and everything is done."
LaoTse
Do no spiritual thing
and every natural climate is finished.
Become no merely natural being
and every spiritual becoming
has already been merrily fulfilled.
Play no win/win nature
and every lose/lose spirit is working out
resolution
integrity
confluence
synergy.
Play only win/win nature
and all lose/lose spirits
zealous
competing
totalitarian
dualistic
bigoted
supremacist
patriarchal
violent
violating
racist
sexist
ageist
xenophobic
homophobic
narcissistic
egocentric
anthro-testosteroned
become way too much ultra nonviolet work
for even the most left-hemisphere dominant
StraightWhiteWesternMale
to become deductively distracted
from inductively healthy
playful
good humored
full moon light for
multiculturing extended family life.
Do no win/lose capitalistic work
and every win/win playful communion is done.
Or, like he said,
Do No future-planning Thing
and Every past Thing is Done.
There remains
only integrity
of this Moment's
health-wealthiest play potential.

SENIORS OLYMPICS
Images of fearsomely fit youth everywhere,
healthy people, all bronzed, featured
by the second, on screens and public spaces :
fit and flash, but always young, Olympians.
I protest, for we seniors are just as sporty;
we recycle daily, suffer running noses;
fallen archery’s no problem at all - well, it is -
as we routinely wrestle with living.
Best not to even mention water sports.
Weightlifting self out of armchair is hourly,
when diving for the loo, as is rowing back
from much too easily expressed criticism.
We ping pong daily with potions and pills.
Sailing close to the wind, shooting mouth off,
leads to embarrassed synchronized grinning.
Annoy us and you will get a right kayaking.
Much of our lives consists of sundry hurdles;
shops are like a cross-country marathon,
or a steeplechase broken into relays,
bench to leaned-on wall, to bench again.
And, we’ve all done pent- and heptathlon,
with the dec- coming in to (or out of) focus,
we need not discus these ageist Olympics,
I have hammered my point enough ....

don't listen to the voices
nine out of ten times
they tell the truth
foretelling the future
in a dream they say
it's gods prophecy
a possible tomorrow
reveling the snake
the black night is turned
his rage doomed him
in the battle ageist the king
with a rainbow crown
i ask why dose the snake
look to me for approval
an uncountable amount
or good deeds without
one selfless act
