Long Disruptions Poems

A shaman has two vocations,
inter-related, 
wise teacher
and robust healer

With emphasis on noticing healthy natural systems
shared values

without untimely degenerative treasons
to reason

Healers of motherland
and Her EarthTribes.

My favorite teachers

I grew up and out on a four family-owned,
and cooperatively-organized,
extended matriarchal farm.

Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,

We've had fourteen in the past year
They leave here mighty fast

Some can't stand the pressure
Others end up in boot hill

Ended up with these three Mikes
Meant to be,

Who I do know everyone likes.

Who I do have a Hoopy Do Review.

Yuval Noah Harari
suggests that Nationalism's
Big Three Nemeses are fear of

We're senior delinquents

modeling our lives after those times when they were so new
and all the rules were irrelevant disruptions

Our hearts are like the ocean..
With depths some just can't reach.
They gaze upon the surface..
And stand upon its beach.

They take in the horizon..
Where the water meets the air..
And ponder on its vastness..
As the wind blows...

Creating music in the wind song

Our stupid silence
Sends screams and screams
And unheeded sounds called cries
Who will ever listen to our silence?

Salty sea breeze
Somnolence comes;
Afternoon nap

New dessert shoppe
Bees to honey;
Ice cream delights

Tired with fatigue;
Try again tomorrow

Morning tryst
Verse scripts hurl;
Kite in the wind

A good night's sleep
Late morning rising:
Pleasant dreams ease

Stray solemn...
