Rebuilding Paradise
Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt

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

Out For a Spin
I take a four-fold spin
through Bill Plotkin's wheel
of bilateral identities,
iconic developmental faces,
ironic personalities.
FIRST comes Eastern-born
dawn of human infancy,
Innocent Sage infants
so WiseElder
in our LeftBrain emergent
wrinkling unfolding
sacred RightBrain ways.
Searching for care giving eyes
to be sure we...

Barking Up the Wrong Tree
“Barking Up the Wrong Tree”
ghost gums
shed their bark
the min-min
makes good use of it
papyrus, soft enough to
imprint and write
thoughts, like the
ripening welts of
green ants
small bites sting
subcutaneous and
meridional,

Capital Investment Problems
A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

I Know Not
I know not
what produces and consumes regenerative design
any more than wherein lies recreative imagination
or even empathic and trusting intelligence,
yet I do know this cooperative designer is not me,
and yet I am part thereof,
as are you.

Fashion In My Family
My grandparents lived on farms – both sides of my family.
My mother’s parents and my father’s parents.
Overalls and button down shirts with pockets
Work boots for grandpas
Except my single grandpa did get dressed up fancy
For Saturday...

Being Human Beings
BEING HUMAN BEINGS
Some people are evil.
Maliciously.
Some people create drama. Monstrosities..
Some people have ulterior motives. Intentionally.
Some people have remorse.
An apology.
Some people have profound words. Poetically.
Some people are tree huggers.
Organically.
Some people have no common sense....

Liberty
LIBERTY
All humans are free
The tree huggers claim
How lofty and pleasing are their aims
But I often wonder if they are insane?
Man cannot and will never be free
Not when there are limits on his
God given...

But in reality it is not so
We are always watched and controlled
By persons of whom we do not know
All humans are free
The tree huggers claim
How lofty and pleasing are...

Moonlight Serenade
Blindfolded, he takes me from the car through the humid air of August. He holds my hand, and then surrounds me with his arms, when small obstacles appear. He brushes the hair from my forehead,...

Tory Envy
I wish I was a Tory,
It would be another story,
So much simpler not to care
Or have to be aware
Of how other folks must strive
To make a crust to stay alive.
I could keep my privileged indifference
Surrounded...

Lemmings Never Pay the Phone Company
"Tree huggers” use AT&T
The human cost catastrophe
On the horizon
Like text from Verizon
Is sent with the speed of 4G
Pollution's still booked at no
cost
And Earth’s expenses neatly tossed
Off the balance sheet
With a "Sprint" so complete

Bah I Say Not Meaning It
Tree huggers bah I say,
not meaning it.
Asking forgiveness from the oak I hug daily.
But this is the Midwest
Where people make fun of nature lovers
Calling them fruits and nuts
Give me fruits and nuts any day
Let...

My 1970's Experience
Wearing whirls, swirls, paisley too.
A jazzy, snazzy, bell bottomed you.
Slinky hip huggers with large chunky belts in style.
White Go Go boots that never walk a country mile.
Faux fringed jackets, fake fur vests, tall high boots...

1969
Lost in my youth coming from this old vinyl
groovin the grooves and riding the vibes

Searching For the Outhouse
Travelling through the outback
with a tour group,
my stomach started rumblin'
I had to go poop.
I ran underneath
a eucalyptus tree,
but a dang dingo
kept following me.
I had to go

Tree Huggers See the Soul of Trees
In vermillion light an ancient, arthritic sentinel
cast its shadow upon my unsuspecting psyche;
I heard its voice whispering in the leaves,
and felt its heft and delight at
my admiration for its great age
as this being sat...

Song of The Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth No 9: ABBA
It's back to the wilds, for the unexplored
Panama's island, Pygmy Three-Toed Sloths.
Tree huggers, twenty hours daily, course, lots
of trees. Four of a kind, their fifth, record
as the smallest. Clocked slow, a leaf lasts one

Things Not To Like
[A short List]
Weeds,
with roots reaching for China.
Poison Ivy,
hidden among the blossoms.
Wasps,
perching above, to dive bomb
as you walk through a door.
Mole runs,
zigzagging across the lawn.
Socks,
working their way downward,

"mr. Dick?...Please Stop!"
"Mr. Dick?...Please Stop!"
telling lies, saying girls spun to perfume humor
while daunting pearl lips

it makes wooden virtues halt
"Mr. Dick?...Please Stop!"
laughing along with burly
turkeys that gobble in vain
"Mr. Dick?...Please Stop!"
spanking babies bottoms
