Unidentified Flying Object Abducted Yours Truly,
Unidentified flying object abducted yours truly,...

to escape untenable married life.

Upon falling into a deep slumber,

Premium Member My Democratic Party Town
In my New England town
our local Democratic Party runs everything.

Some would argue these local celebrities
and self-promoting treasures
to posterity
rather over-run everything,
and surely we could find some truth
in this way of seeing,
but we are learning a spirit...

Premium Member Illogical Conclusions
And Logical 2020 ReIntroductions

The politicization of health care
stems from capital's socialization of value,
from roots valuing wealth-through-extraction
rather than health-through-inclusion.

What must become win/win 
WholeEarth patriotic strategies
are now sadly reduced to win/lose nationalistic 
straight white male
left-brain dominant
stingy propaganda

Premium Member Hanging On To Trauma
There is this hypothesis

and perhaps traumatically
just made hard and patriarchally up

and retentatively not out
soon enough for healthy comings 
and goings

A ridiculous theory
that straight homophobic preachers
and teachers,
prophets
and kings,
pharaohs
and rabbis,
old crows
and magpies

Premium Member Dear Nationalist Republicans
I'm worried

DisInformation's strategic value

Premium Member Straining Toward Sanity
I see, and fear, a trumpian landscape,
usually, and more casually, outside any safe inside sanctuary.

Infrequent glances inside windstorms
and rivers of underground currents
surreptitiously culture shape
mold
transform vertically visual landscapes,
motherlands of ecotherapy above, outside
forests and deserts,
Earth's inside

Dear journalists,
investigative reporters,

of strong and free
democracy,

When elective office candidates,

far more than all other candidates
competitively left non-elite behind,

Please ask,
Freedom in which direction?
Freedom to heal

I choose elective surgery.
Yes, that will do the trick.
Make my inside match my outside

Pain dragging me down into despair and depression.
Knowing there is a solution but being made to wait.
Impatience at a system that doesn't care that your in pain.
