Best Incommensurable Poems
Green Democratic EmpathyI don't think it's just me.
I find myself challenged to change LeftBrain cognitive beliefs,
languaged abstractions of personal feelings,
perhaps because it is not possible to change Right Brain's
Elder feelings of co-passionate trust
where dipolar co-arising positive pleasure
is not dissonant noisy pathology.
I discover this issue as more of...

''Quantum Mechanical'': An Exercise in the LyricalSo, so lyrical,
yet logical,
it's certainly atypical;
and not proverbial,
but integral
and oh, most controversial!
But is it topical,
optical,
even for the intellectual
to see the actual
pragmatical
to its theoretical?
So casual, gradual,
and implausible,
it’s almost incomprehensible
were it not for the owner’s manual.
It, too, appears eternal,—
not temporal.
Never mind paradoxical.
Damn! it’s infernal...
Alas, it'll...

Darwin's Double-Dark DilemmaElder Darwin swims in ethology.
He rolls in his deep grave ecology.
He itches and scratches his dissonance
that survival of most fitted and dense
implies manifest destiny for those YangStrong
while Darwin's Cross and his own eyes
clearly disguised
camouflaged ectosymbiotic thrival
of deepest flexible fit-in-edness.
Fullerian synergy,
both within and between polycultured...

On Being Here NowOur body is only a cloak,
seek the one who has dressed you,
heed not the dress.
Rumi
My form dresses our shared purpose,
I seek this SuperEco who has formed our cooperative
and synergetic vocational meaning,
not my ego's magically imagined purpose.
Yet I remain distracted and confused
by this illusion of constancy...

Advent of Healthier EconomicsIt's not only
our cultural value conditioning
that presents a health communication problem
about transitions of climate
without our Interior
and within our Exterior
Landscapes.
It's also about internally incommensurable
cultural values,
norms enjoined throughout Earth's domesticated human race
toward humane evolution's economic journey
Whether transportive progress
be calculated one breath
one day
one season at a time
or using...

Bucky Fuller's ReVival GhostLet’s say the number 1
iconically speaks in Left-Yang Universal Language,
root of ecosystemetrics,
while PlaceHolder (0)
bicamerally dreams in Right-YinDiPolar ReGenerative PolyCultural Action,
health-flow of autonomic, enthymematic thought and awareness
influenced by feelings of EarthCentric BiCameral Consciousness
as Plan A,
so number 1 is actually each Ego’s Plan B holon of...

Riding Time's Political FlowWe might do well
to worry less
about including the grizzly bear population
in our cooperatively encultured Golden Rule,
after all,
we already would kill and eat them,
if hungry enough,
as they would like to treat us.
We could do well
to become happier
about including the trees and bushes and grass populations
in our...

A Philosophical PredicamentPhilosophers, down the ages,
Have strenuously tried
To figure out language:
Their numerous narratives polarize
Into two Grand narratives, a binary:
Language is referential / differential.
This binary has yielded numerous derivatives.
On the referential side, for instance,
There’s the view that language is an instrument,
As advanced notably...

Perennial ProblemsI suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend's,
and especially Thomas Kuhn's Problem of Incommensurabiity.
Oh, not at all.
I have not looked at science or culture
or language
or even your attempts at communication
quite the same since I ran across their big dilemma.
Interestingly,
it shares some dynamics with...

Prophets and MessiahsThe difference between
bad-old-boy
competitively evolving
egg white privilege
And good-girl
cooperatively revolutionary
just-us-yolks
Foreshadows a symbiotic contrast
between prophetic performance
and messianic practice,
said Professor Glory
in her Gospel of Permaculture class,
one Friday morning
while sitting on her crass
desk of Primal Relationship Theory.
What could this dipolarity possibly mean?
between patriarchal prophets...

Kind Mind BlastOur topic for this morning
said Professor Glory
to her sleepy class of bicameral scholars,
is "Attraction v. Addiction to Peak Experiences."
Addictions are wanting more than attraction therapeutically invites.
Addictions suboptimize the Peak outcomes they promise.
Unlike the continuous resonance of attraction,
addiction alternately satiates and subsides
as felt "need" grows increasingly...

Grief a New Best FriendGrief is so unimaginable painful it cant be explained,
To lose someone you love so much is unfeigned,
Once grief comes knocking at your front door,
Entering your life, It doesn't plan to stay as a guest
In fact grief intends on staying until you reach your eternal...

RooflessROOFLESS
Incommensurable conditions
without shelter nor food,
winter storm clouds overhead
frigid chill deep within my bones,
a haphazard zipperless parka
down feathers withered ages ago,
trembling in the frost sans fire
hoping in the very least for
the kindness of a stranger
offering me a steaming
hot cup of coffee,
sole thing affordable...

Let's Be KinderIn his essay "Let's Be Reasonable"
Rev. Todd Eklof [The Gadfly Papers]
reduces reasonable to logical;
This is a common left-brain dominant error,
confusion between deductive premises
and coldly reductive conclusions
calculated assuming cause v effect linear formulas
more than feedback loops
of complex neurological relationships,
ecological analogical
experiential math
not reducible to algebraic...
