where also lives a monochromatically utilitarian narcissist,
sucking on attachment to fame and power
for bought and sold ZeroSum accounting Souls.

If the perfectly powerful pure patriarchal patriot
were your...

Yang, dear.

Yes, my lovely Yin.

Why do you map Game Theory
onto EcoFeminist Political Theory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,

Really!
How sexist?

Well you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum WinLose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending...

Winter awakens all my care
as leafless trees grow bare.
For now my sighs are fraught
whenever it enters my thought:

In a surprise announcement today,
President Plan B Sandman's
EcoMinister of CoOperative Economics
translated bipartisan balanced ecologic

rather than presenting theoretical support,
he seems to offer analogical evidence
for his ecological thesis
about logic,
or logos,
or neurosystemic linguistics,

Music ministry
as inviting to blues and jazz,
embracing soulful gospel

up-bearing 
paid-forward into what more recent...

Retribution and restoration
share a concern for justice as balance
of responsibility with authority.
But retribution is coercive
while restoration democratizes therapeutic cooperation,
invites grace and love and mercy
for oneself
as for others.

Retributive justice
pretends a violation of our multicultural Golden Rule

Paranoia feeds on dark roots.
In full bloom, everything and everyone that happens against me
happens for a sinister conspiratorial reason.
This is my felt conjecture,
to which I respond
by struggling against trust
in Other's monopolistic monocultural Wins,
so I might...

I have forfeited every inch
Of your bitter blow
And you have reaped the profit.
You took my discretion for granted
And placed me inside a cage.

Eating at the sky
