Best Bilateral Poems

Last half of Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking Summary, pp. 298-300, with bicameral ecological supplements [informed by Gregory Bateson] in brackets:

In ordinary traditional thinking we have developed no methods for going beyond the [suboptimally reasonable] adequate. As soon as something is [feels] satisfactory our [LeftBrain]...

There's a mole in the middle of my belly
That gives me bilateral symmetry

For a belly dancer it might prove entertaining
Though that’s not my thing, I’m not complaining

Not a “new age” mole, this one’s a lifer
And it’s purpose I’ve tried to decipher

You see, mom had one...

stroke, roll,
stroke, roll,

climbing along the water's surface,
body turning on a skewer,
breathing bubbles,
exhaling fully,
metronomic to a viewer

fingertips, wrist and elbow angled
each below the other in turn
break the surface
then pushing forward
spinning the torso in return

Sociology and Psychology

What I had majored in college was sociology,
And followed up with a minor in psychology;
Wife went ballistics;
Also took statistics;
Now am extremely interested in epidemiology.

Public health appears to be a central issue
and tendency now. What causes chaos and
terrorism is also astounding. Terrorism is
not a...

Taoist Elders have spoken--
and who could natural spirits be
to rewrite cooperative history--
outside nature, unlike inside spirits, 
does not favor kindness.

Identifying as a Taoist-Christian hybrid,
a polypath feasting on root systems
of East meets West
Right greets Left
Yin embraces Yang
does not make me a good Christian
or a healthy Taoist.

However, these bilateral designs
on polyculturing 
polypathic neuro-sensory healthy outcomes
do seem to help me become the best

EarthMother grows impatient,
despite her curiosity driven
cooperative inviting polyculture
reconnection with SunFather's Great White
monotheistic climate
of Patriarchal-Capitalist classroom activity
RightHand saluting
salutary competitions.

Your historic move,
S/He dissonantly
defiantly intones,
from sacred polytheistic peak experiences,
inherently dipolar co-arising,
not monotheistic judgments
punishing bipolar sick people
for manic/depressive original sinning

Missing win/win marks
is also a monoculturing move
away from sacred arts...

Gay Rights are not Civil Rights

fast-paced news rhyme

Civil Rights are not just Gay Rights

It might become too ironically

What do healthy systems,
naturally spirited,
ecologically enlightened
and ego-politically empowered swell

Wellness
anthro-economic networks
wonder,
often wander around
what do wealthy mindbody systems do
when the Body squarely says
"I'm doing all I can comfortably do"

And the unsatisfied Mind asks
"Why is my need for healthy integrity
neglected
deflected
ignored
unrestored?"
at least half

Minds can draw dividing lines
in different natural spaces
sacred special uniting places

Nature makes poles

Which spirited minds refine
and natural bodies define
but integrity is not image confined
by these cooperatively determined lines
