Epigrams by Michael R. Burch
If brevity is the soul of wit
then brevity and levity
are the whole of it.
—Michael R. Burch
To write an epigram, cram.
If you lack wit, scram!
—Michael R. Burch
Conformists of a feather
flock together.

Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant polyculturing health
Care given
as kind received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Problems of Success
Old misunderstandings of how Earth
and Her species
evolve,
regeneratively and degeneratively change,
sometimes in revolutionary expansive/implosive quick and great transitions,
but more traditionally in slow-grow emergent spacetime development,
are often summarized in secular capitalism's
Might Makes Fertile Right.

Inside Outside Delight
A shaman has two vocations,
inter-related,

With emphasis on noticing healthy natural systems

Healers of motherland

Domestic Help
Let us,
for a heuristic historical moment,
pause...
create mental feeling embodied space,
for domestication as value neutral,
neither inherently good nor bad,
but more of a gradual evolutionary process
increasing mutual accessibility,
and therefore care-giving
and care-receiving vulnerability
to active daily trust and mistrust,

Why Capitalism Failed
I'm reading a publication of Yale Press,
a "centrist" polemic against the LeftBrain's libertarian excesses,
and against RightBrain's sinister shadow
of totalitarian uniformity
playing nihilistic lose/lose
on a global interpersonal
public sector stage three
of nationalistic climate annihilation,
Where RightBrain's win/win golden shadow

Father’s Voice
Your ungainly question,
What is the meaning of Life?

What is purpose to Beauty?
which reminds of,
What is meaning and purpose for Grace?
and Karma?
Not ugly, empty, meaningless death, perhaps?
Life, like beauty, evolves appositional responses
of meaning,...

Racing With the Sun
Identifying as a Taoist-Christian hybrid,
a polypath feasting on root systems
of East meets West
Right greets Left
Yin embraces Yang
does not make me a good Christian
or a healthy Taoist.
However, these bilateral designs
on polyculturing
polypathic neuro-sensory healthy outcomes
do seem...

Grazing the Garden
I retired a couple years ago
and decided to take a gardening class
because otherwise I probably would starve
even with food stamps,
given my retirement plan
was mainly to live off my still-freeloading adult perpetual-children.

The World Around Us
Awaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

Criminals and Victims
We all have emerged from one nutritiously polyculturing earth,
one sun enlightening
one DNA patterned and structuring rhythm compliance
with fractally resonant RNA.
Predestined to remain within harmonic restraint limits,
yet free within these interdependent limits

Leftbrain Avatar
LeftBrain thinking,
not an avatar
of compassionately feeling
emergent healing systems,
Chilly baptismal waters
of equanimity
do not typically suggest a warm bath
in multicultural
and global
democracy.
Is it possible,
reasonable,
healthy,
therapeutic
to carry gifts of resonant love
and extend them to those
evoking a long history
of patriarchal anger

Great New and Old Years
Terrorism,
threat of terrorizing shelters

and wombs,
seeds and trees,
mountains and valleys,
forests and deserts and oceans,
fear and anger conjuring and mongering and marketing
do not work long-term
because co-passions of love do work
more cooperatively and therapeutically.

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Ii
Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...
