Long Imbalances Poems

How was school today?

Fine.

Did you learn anything important?

Maybe. I'm not sure yet.

Really? What are you considering?

We talked about Howard Odum's natural trinity

said Professor Glory
to her sleepy class of bicameral scholars,
is "Attraction v. Addiction to Peak Experiences."

Addictions are wanting more than attraction therapeutically invites.
Addictions suboptimize the Peak outcomes they promise.
Unlike the continuous resonance...

imagine if all your heroes,
all your idols, all your

have supposedly written books
(or had books written for them/
by them), whose “lives” have
been depicted as such by those
who never lived when they lived,
who never...

The human being
(also referred throughout history
as 'long pig' and 'hairless goat'

Under your collar don’t blow hot
Making rivers and rodents sad, carving 

Space and time you don’t own
Encroaching on privileges animals and plants possess
In their comfort and...

It happens like no man's dream 
Planned or unplanned 
Forseen and unforseen 
Imagined and unimagined
Happens like no man's thoughts 
Irregardless destined or not
Predicted and...

Clearly shown in her sense of adventure
