Best Developmentally Poems

           Your past, your romantic past, is a shadow. Like all towns, Port Angeles was a combination of rain and clouds, sun and mist, with a chamber of commerce, barrooms and boards of directors, the known and unknown. No one of course is completely unknown. I...

Once upon this time
I was listening to the Christian Fathers
retell traditional stories
of God's election and predestination.

Predestination
is like being born into royalty,
power,
privileges of humane Earth's regenerative grace.

Election is more democratic.
Selection based on God's vote for mercy,
apparently,
because one of these stories
is God's preferential option for the poor,

If i could change the world, I’d eradicate poverty, 
By doing away with the lower tax band heavy,
And implementing an increase in the others, 
By a very large amount for our richer brothers.  

I’d inaugurate a green tax, specifically to all, 
Just like income...

Probably few of us
have capacity
to see ourselves
as both Angel
and Demon.

Many of us
have had the experience
of demonizing
and punishing ourselves
for sins of the past
extending into our present
festering
unresolved trauma.

Hopefully many of us
have also had the experience
of forgiveness
and saving ourselves
from sins of dis-integrity's future
because someone shared with us,

Sitting there with 
Rosie   Palms.
Heard a tape recently of when only nineteen; the likes in my speech gone  but still just obscene .

i relate when i sedate when i have a happy plate-
my remorse is discoursed thoroughly,

Dazzled by something worth comparing; our friendships common majesty 
Offers without warning while in unfamiliar waters; we may both be 
Lost in foggy noise; we are individuals; of sound triviality
Passing millions of years since our divergency
Horrific is our view; it is found of your arrogancy
Inside...

Remembering the frantic little boy with strawberry blond hair who didn't say boo

Nonverbal (though he could talk)
most of his responses
happened to be witnessed
as his characteristic
and courtesy enigmatic
trademark shoulder shrug.

If born free and clear today
skilled professional diagnosticians
employed within the mental health field,
would probably unanimously agree
he met...
