Have you ever been high on anxiety?
A sensation which crushes your very will
and buries you six feet underground,
or so it leaves you wishing,
from sentences, not of death,
but of immobilization of both body and tongue,
while run-on sentences run loose in thought,
begging for an audience,
bearing embodiments of lies,
of bottomless ominous consequence,
of Godlessness,
beyond hopelessness,
hoping for nothing but nothing,
and maybe these run-on sentences can stop running
if the anxiety would stop chasing
the very body it binds

There's a word for it;
One of my favorite words;
It often crosses my mind
as is the case presently.
But it always evades me.
Its meaning seems to always
find space in my life's spear,
and I'd be pleased if I could
retain it for good usage.
But it always evades me.
It often walks onto the doorsteps
of my mind and camps out at
the doorway of my heart.
But it always evades me.
It is a physics kind of word
that speaks of time and space,
of being in a state of indecision
or immobilization, only to be mobilized
or influenced by an outside force.
But it always evades me.
If I shall ever recall it again,
I must document and shelter it in a
special place so that I can utilize
it at will. That word fits my life and
circumstances like a customized garment.
But it always evades me.

My sanctuary
includes an anti-racism team.
Our closest synagogue ally
has an anti-defamation league.
Both my Team
and our League
are against contempt for Earth
and all Her natural/spiritual Tribes and Systems,
Networks and PassionStories.
We are composed of anti-patriarchal feminists
not against non-violent actions,
and against non-verbal
and verbal
and pre-verbal
and reverberating
not-healthy communications.
For shared agendas
that feel so robustly positive
by discovering mutual resonance
hoping for immediate
through long-term resilience,
cherishing an experience of healthy
cooperative
interfaith family,
It feels surprising how our culture,
verbal and non-verbal language
grow so replete with double-negatives,
double-binds,
not not positives
stuck in fight or flight immobilization
Looking for more robust defining ways
to claim cooperative economies,
compassionate ecofeminist politics,
integral win/win healthy democratic strategies
for ego and eco-systemic
polypathic
polyphonic
therapeutic wealth.

ROBERT FROST WAS NO HELP TO ME
Three roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel all three
And be one traveler, long I stood
And gazed down each; but take none I could,
For in this trilemma, there was no Frost poem to guide me.
By taking one I was missing a double.
Oh why did he not write a helping hint for me?
Maybe I’m stirring up a lot of trouble,
Just inflating a big hot-air bubble,
But those other two could have set me free.
By taking none, the immobilization of me
And my dithering reconnoitering,
Especially in a dark wood where no one can see,
Brought in the police and judiciary:
And I was locked up for suspicious loitering.
I shall be telling this with immense frustration
Sometime hence no matter what I’m doin’.
The three roads led to utter consternation
And ultimately to penitentiary isolation -
And that has been my ruin.
