Long Frameworks Poems

Polypathic conversation with David Holmgren:

[cooperative] education and [therapeutic] training
is the [mindful] key to allowing people to contribute
to a more sustainable [ecopolitical] future.

Although I recognize the value of formal...

I began reading Jane Anna Gordon's "Creolizing Political Theory"
from the back toward the front,
as usual,
because if I appreciate where this narrative journey will end,
then I probably will find we start off with similar questions

claiming his First Amendment rights have been infringed
to speak his mind
about the degenerative nature of same-sex marriage
when the nearby East Lansing operated Farmer's Market
determined his farming operation
was not...

What is Real? I ask myself
Is it only that which you can taste, touch or feel?

Or is it not the obvious but only the quiet poundings of one's heart
Those of sensibility, those which all of...

Ooh a triangular prism made out of eighteen purple sashed curtains. Wow. Movement. Vortex of a synopsis and a synchronised swirling pattern. When a pea jumps into a swimming pool and performs the backflip it...

Yo poets, preachers, and prophets,
Here this game, cause there are two prophets,
That inspire me, to keep raging against machines of injustice,
One white, one black, one academic, the other spits music,
Two preachers, two prophets of corporate...

The Cinematic Film Treatment as a stand alone element 
in the aesthetic revolution we are now not witnessing

Unforgotten Lacerations 

A pataphysical circus of visual elements, possibly comprehensible depending upon one's ideological orientation or level of...

The Planet appeared behind the upholstery. 
Layers of ambiguous crises lie behind. 
Attractive slurs were mixed in with flowing clarity. 
A new dawn has been anticipated by humankind.

Dawn files gather here
Meeting notes and plans unfold
Like spring's first petals

Through corridors decisions
Flow swiftly as mountain streams flow

CSR dreams take shape
Schools transform day after day
Future's seeds now bloom

Virtual bridges span distances
While screens light paths forward...

In this epoch of shadows where whispers intertwine,
Madmen's visions, like stars, paths define,
Through the common veil of entwined senses,
Unspoken truths in the corridors of blended minds.
Chains of data bind the minds deemed sane,
Blind to specters...

Infantile ignorance takes a barge and a ship then sets sail. Passing one jellyfish stop and wave. But passing over nineteen thousand jellyfish stop and shoot. Shoot till all gone in a gloopy mess tangling...

When I'm pining for the power to yield
Breaking all the branches I seize
Acres for the taking in a forest of mistakes
I can't see for the trees

I level
With the shallow playing field
Dreaming up a blueprint to...

Christians, fundamentalist and evangelical,
Have their own music, which is loud and clear,
But although it’s repeated monotonously every week, 
It always excites them so, when they draw near. 

Their music stimulates them unfailingly, 
I mean, the...

What would you expect to accomplish here?
In this house these people are incapable of feeling.
Indulging in eternity inside their frozen frameworks.
They began to grow suspicious as our mouths burn like acid with 
Every word we...

Implicit restricting through

So easily my brain ceases to be
Lacked in comfort how hectic it could be 
Brain cells wrapped around membranes like tree stems

Within the frameworks of the Universe
Brain cells have more mass than stars that compass
So...
