Bottom Up Poems

a house with the bottom up
thrown clothes, clutter, books everywhere
manuscripts, invoices
pencils, drawing boards

no guests
no holiday tables
just a shadow of last year

I went out and watched the fireworks
the most beautiful fireworks in my life
they were ordered in writing games
new games
in dazzling...Read More

I have always wanted to see the world 
From the bottom up
So when I die 
don't cry
Throw my ashes down the toilet
And flush with vigor
while shaking the handle
here is  looking up at you

Give me something round
Edges to life should be circular
Beware of the elliptic mystery
Rotate your marbles frequently

Give me something spherical
Two hemispheres in harmony
Held together with super glue
Solid to the core and spiraling

Give me something not Michigan
(Round objects are illegal in Michigan)
Balls...Read More

I am utterly useless and without hope.
And no one will ever tell me that
I should never quit trying. 
And now I finally understand that 
This is what fate has in store for me,
I am worth nothing at all.
And it would...Read More

Early Summer

Birds awake with the dawn
Their twitters break the last defending line of spring

 Air becomes light
Like a vegetable soup that I can bottom up at once

The mist and rain no longer tangle with my eyes
The deepest blue in the...Read More

~God Is Lord~
 (Jay's Way)


 God is Lord
 With Him I can do it all
 Sees me thru everything and each time I fall
 With God by side there's none I should fear
 He always lends ear
 God loves me

I am very ugly
so don't try to convince me that
I am a very beautiful person
because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
and I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
there is beauty inside of...Read More

Brain scans

A brain scan is viewed
and seems to record
the busyness of a brain
most independent and active.. 
A brain viewed as  creator
with the scan recording the 
colors and shapes..as this
electrical flesh originates our
minds and our lives..

However..we are invited to pause
and...Read More

The perfect form,
Built from a seed,
From bottom to top,
Not any other built like me,
Converted into a small mind,
Taught to be obedient,
Can't seem to live life to the fullest,
Nothing letting you become free,
A statue still,
Solid and tight,
Build your foundation,
Before you stand...Read More

Once within recycling time
lived brother Paraclete
as sister Sophia,
and vice versa.

Written across each bicameral heart and mindbody
these two live on
as controlling Yang
with nurturing Yin,
somewhat before their Western cousins,
Paraclete, God's Justice Advocate
as Sophia,
Wisdom's Holonic CoOperative Spirit.

These dipolar loving twins
grow famous in design...Read More

Families
and communities,
hopefully becoming like extending families,
and that would make them some form of faith communities,
relying exclusively on top-down authorities
to empower today
and tomorrow's cooperative faithfulness
to ourselves
to each other
to Earth
to the Universe, perhaps,
are also families and communities
under-invested
suboptimizing
bottom-up maturing co-empathic responsibilities
to learn nutritional...Read More

Polypathic conversation with David Holmgren:

Today it is common to hear the suggestion
[cooperative] education and [therapeutic] training
is the [mindful] key to allowing people to contribute
to a more sustainable [ecopolitical] future.

Although I recognize the value of formal education and training
and [especially cooperatively-owned...Read More

Health issues and ecopolitical promise speak in dialectal fractals:
1. Notice hope
2. Understand positive faith
3. Believe with diastatic love regeneration
4. Polypath creolic integration is also notnot decomposing release,
wu wei double-binding midway image
Tipping Point discernment
toward further revolutionary adventures.

This full open-systemic octave
resonates 1-4...Read More

Anesthetics
Make us pathetic
We were numb from the bottom up
Imbedded to start habits we can't finish
What I mean is
Wrecked from substance
One more time would've done it
Lungs of smoke 
Intentions are a joke.
Choke! or fall apart like a yolk.
This is your brain...Read More

My greatest fear  
Not knowing the unknown unable to see the visible UN-capable  
To trust on instinct to depend  on mix emotions to lose sight and let 
My guard down to be a prisoner of my own...Read More

Sometimes, as individuals
and as a learning species,
we jump too quickly,
eagerly,
enthusiastically on empathic trust feelings of familiarity,
forgetting these may include both health with pathological tensions
residing within this intuitive moment,
this feeling of happiness toward potential true and good futures
yet I really do...Read More

Laying in fingers across the horizon
Waiting for an unsuspecting tree or rock to drift up
Within reach
Tranquil, imitating sleep
Believing in nothing but itself
It curls around all ascending matter
Leaf, twig, trunk, 
Rock, stone, pebble
And bits of earth
Moisture trickles and joins the haze
Scrutiny...Read More

This poem is really written by the student VK/11 yrs. Read top down and then bottom up

Death destruction and despair
Destroying
Families and friends
Vanquish hope
Never
Say I love you
Always
Be sad
Do not
Be free
Hopelessness and poverty
Take over
The world
You will rule
Nothing
Dissipate the word
Happiness

 Along your own family line. Not working out as you...Read More

To drink from the bottom up
Down at the farthest reaches

Go now, turn the photo albums pages.
You often smile at happy memories.
Let the images rekindle the stages,
Never lost, love..within my heart's reverie.

Would that we could return to bygone days.
I would do anything to turn that page.
Love know, my thoughts of...Read More
