Best Procedural Poems

I’m sitting at my desk typing on my computer. 
My head is a satellite broadcasting a disrupted signal. 
I can’t get a clear picture of what I want to write. 
The channel keeps changing as I switch between memories and then it happens. 

A message...

Butterfly wing door vestibule builds anticipation  
Shuffled, carpet muffled greetings, familiar embraces                     
Piloted by Holy Spirit, seated hushed congregation 
Ritual of ornate cathedral thanks...

In the Work That Reconnects,
we have a dialogue exercise
in which Person A asks Person B
"Who are you?"
several times over a few minutes,
as it feels right to reprime this exploratory pump;
then person B does the same for person A.

The person hosting, facilitating, enabling
this reiterative question's redundant...

A Poodle and Apple Strudel

To popular belief, it all had been according
And wondered if we really could be affording
To buy what some called the John B. Sloop
Bottom of sails looked like a hula hoop

While walking around we also just found
That when being on John B....

Torture’s Toxic Contagion
                  by Odin Roark

From where comes these perpetrators,
These conscienceless mortals
Whose senses are quashed by orders,
By fear of demotion,
By allegiance to evil?

Who demands the allegiance
To insulated Washington...

WAITING TO EXHALE

Now that I have successfully alienated everyone else,
the time has come to liberate myself, having played  
this out in my mind…so many times I guess I have
finally acted on it—as you try to comprehend.
This “fault”—this “defect” in my head--an
incessant obsession and desire...

On Religion:
God is great as notnot God,
otherwise anthrocentrically distorted sense of thermodynamic balance norms
within Earth's EcoSystemic Logic and Language WinWin Network
of historical enculturation.

On Science:
Deductive syllogistic structural methods for learning positive 
and negative correlations between nondual co-arising events
with optimal outcomes as notnot inductive
analogically felt trust
of deep...

Social Justice

Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. 
I am an American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
A measured explicit and tacit terms 
for the distribution of wealth, opportunities 
for personal activity...

In 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...

At the age of 13 he experienced the great depression,
and that event helped shape his social conscience.
Even as a child he could clearly see all of the resources were still available,
but people didn't have money, purchasing power to put food on their table.
All of that...

Public policies are program designs 
with regenerative health and safety vetted practices,
rooted in evidence of positive outcomes
and usually supported by some form of systematic theory
about why they appear to do more good than harm,
and at what cost compared to alternative strategies.

Producing executive orders
that are primarily...

Again these men comes to mind,
Paid to say yes and nay,
Lame duck,

Canker, ***** rapscallion minds
Incorrigible,
Political impostors detached from the humdrum of street cries
Maggots in honor
Damp squib temples of legislators
Dishonorable honorable,
Rotund circles of rascals
Fellows fit for the gallows
Clamping on huge figures,
While masses groan in penury and...

Economic science talks about wealth and money
but ancient green ecology peace warriors
walked toward cooperative health and species nutrition
rather than poverty 
lack of sufficient mutual investment
in health-wealth trends.

Old cooperative economic leaders
and followers
measuring comparative values together
counted in nutritional value
accumulated by Yang dominating predators
and counter-counted
back in reverse time
remembering...

Once within our time
we birthed a CEO
who would be Pope,
but might settle for Grand Wizard.

He was selected by a near majority vote
of a highly confused Board
anxious for economic and political climate survival,
terrified of degenerating anti-ecological prospects
especially during their own exclusive lifetime ego-claustrophobic watch--
fake divinely authorized...

we have a dialogue exercise

then person B does the same for person A.

The person hosting,
listening,
facilitating,
enabling this reiterative question's redundant possibilities
