Long Exceptionalism Poems

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or 
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile 
souled and soiled
recycling night.

So too

and political
and economic

I feel like a high school civics class dropout.

So much confuses me,
to this day, you see,
about democratic constitutional legal equity,
which feels like it should have WinWin original empowerment intent,
about public and private rights, unbent

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask
when I was younger
and more disabled
and WhiteMale monotheistic

How might even Republican Red MotherTrees
avoid secularized Self-serving

Strong suspicion a 2024 presidential win...

for the trumpeting don

I rediscover organic errors
hidden in co-gravitating
love language.

Gravity is easily noticed
as Apple falling toward Earth;
less visibly co-scienced,
experientially remembered,
as co-gravitational
co-relational intent

As Apple's ego-gravity core
falls drawn toward sacred Earth's
Mothering womb
smothering tomb
once more
returning toward deeply divine
anthrosupremely verbal
overpowering EarthTribe's co-operating...

About a year ago,
as the COVID pandemic
seemed to subside,
then swell,
happily ebb
and yet impatiently flow

Again,
about a year ago
I was noticing cold autumn nights
bringing first frost
to my metal windowframes
and skeletal post-surgery-tired back
and neglected aging heart.

Outside corner unit...

In the twilight of thoughts, where shadows whisper the secrets of ideologies,
I stand, a prism refracting the multitude of hues of the "isms,"
Each beam a story of belief, a spectrum of convictions.
Socialism, communism, fascism, despotism—
Colors...

Psyche soaking wet with devout atheism,

I remember only eight years in the past
A once beloved icon shocked a nation
Instantly he became an outcast
disrupting the flow, the Cheeto now hated

A business tycoon with many failures turned successes
Strong, bombastic and not the...

Introversion, like strengthening integrity,
explores fusing with the Whole
which I associate with ego-death
whether by colonizing encroachments of Other
more powerful,
arrogantly unenlightened,
predators

Or by ego-transmutation
creolization
rebirth
synergetic sacraments
of wedding
bedding
feeding
breeding
loving
win/win compassion

And probably some positive
and negative,
impressive
and repressive,
flavors
and savors
of both varieties
anxiously anticipating ego-degeneration,

Self-emptying
under duress

From the word 'born', she was made to be a queen.
From the weight numbers 7.7 lbs., she was born to be queen.
She was daddy's girl and mother's pearl, a gift to the world.

In a world of endless choices, so often do we roam, 
Guided not by sound reason, but the latest iPhones, 
Predictable irrationality, our minds do plainly sway, 
Making crucial life decisions, marred by truth decay.

"Expect great things; do great things" is a quote I once heard.

X, the 24th letter of the alphabet, is often used to designate a person.

Commitment, dedication, endurance are required to achieve the exception.

Friends,
Trumpians,
EcoFeminists

We gather here
to no longer hear divisions
across a win/lose 
zero-sum aisle
so we can see revisions
within a win/win

future free of buried guile.

Green flowing fullness
no longer mourned
for lost love of deep theistic
preculturing wealth
buried in steep

Each species has its tools
to do what it can to ensure
its own survival.
We, try our best to 
separate,
and say we are not
the same.
We pick a trait to denote
our exclusivity.
Other species prove
their relativity.

Once it was tools

My country's tears are falling like rain.
She is hurting, and great is her pain.

Deep in the portals of her heart,
Desperately, she is crying.

She is going BLIND
And has listened to lying.

She is losing her ability to...

True Grace specifies no special face to extend God's Grace.

Religion at its finest could never define the True God of the Bible.

Understanding and loving God demand that we do likewise with others.

Soothing and serene like a sacred song

Energizing me like no other season can

Pausing my pace that I may endure the race
