Four valved compartments
Quadruply lock you up from the devils
Push you nearer to God
With no bargains for confinements and short - cuts
No bargains for freedom but the rules
No bargains for dignity but the truths
No bargains for sentiments but only logics
Just for a normal blood circulation
And a positive way of life
when gases abound
spatial scales classified
bulk movement declares
the isolated
spiraling in a whirl of cabin fever
buried in the forest, in the hills,
out of sight & out of
what is said to be the mind of the
culturally present---
in hiding,
finding one’s way in the dark
seeing without neon light
hearing without amplification &
speaking
face to face
without smartphones or
ipads or
skype---
what is said to be the
“old fashioned way.”
so out into the open come the once
locked up &
with this new unlimited ability to
express themselves
comes the overflowing
possibilities &
the circulation
of new personalities at the
convention.
with each newly added person
with each newly spoken voice
comes a betterment for all of us
a new light shed on a darkening whole &
a new way of seeing
that was unheard of before---
with more voices comes progress &
with progress comes solutions &
with solutions comes health &
with health comes happiness &
with happiness comes
the lack of a need to kill each other &
with that,
our planet & species might not disappear so
quickly---
all begins with circulation.
you crawl up under someone's skin
'cause you like to swim in those
warm, soft, cozy spaces
where life pulses
arterial cushiness
eventually
tho
the heartbeat that wooed
gonna throb you to the capillaries
and osmosis you to some nasty happenin's
in the colon
kidneys
liver
gall bladder...
not to mention the hard places
like the marrow of the knuckles
where calcification is more likely
than not.
long way to the veins from there
(23 feet in the intestines alone)
takes some backbone
and a hit or two of kundalini
to navigate the trip
and return to the heart.
