In Regenerative Design,
dialectical cooperative contrasts
need not also mean
suspiciously diabolical 
competitive win/lose opposition

hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation

bought on clearance,

Pain so deep no words could be spoken
Buried within me scars like tokens

following my dreams,
praying in church
