Martha Rogers
brought dynamic nursing relationships
of co-acclimating healthy minds
and Earth's well-being subclimates,

While Carl Rogers
brought empowering therapeutic relationships
of cooperative needs
for nature/nurture
organic bilateral interdependence.

As Gregory Bateson

Cumulus clouds full of debris from the local avenues 
Deeper...

His eyes cloudy, filled with a haunting vacancy
His voice weak , shallow

together into Reception
Nothing could stop us and 
together we were three
James and I LARP-ed Doctor 
Who for fun
We talked and laughed for 
hours
Because no stress was in our

Let me tell you ‘bout this cosmic cat,
somebody you really oughta know
Got the coolest walk,
the hippest talk
When he enters the danger zone,
his heartbeat slows ...
Giving casual yawns,
while everyone is running for their life
He’s mellow maxing...

The Witch of Winslow Street

In West Saint John, no fortune sprang.
But greatness graced the Blue Rock Gang.
As Carleton rascals, David Goss
And Bobby Alexander launched
A secret goal that made them itch,
To see which woman was a...

Doing absolutely nothing but nowt,
Just loving and dreaming the day away.

My love and I have such a home,
Where on such days we...

It’s confusing
All of the voices in my head
It’s like I don’t know who I am anymore
I’m not me
And I’m defiantly not the people in here
I’ve disappeared
Yet… I haven’t

someone else’s...
