Father Time,
if you would share this space
it would mean everything to me
to us, so kind,
which forms of integrative diversity
incarnate your highest priority,
most comprehensive,
social-political-economic-cultural issues:

monopolistic competing toward total self-consuming

When the Argonauts, came across 
the abandoned Starship, they 
found within the wrecked 
command console, a DNA code
with encrypted message.

Norwegian bachelor farmer days I never lived

Woebegone and egg foo young on you
meaning me of course
sidestepping a crucial positive

pacing around the room;
so all...

If we don't know where we are going
this morning
this day
tomorrow
this week
this month
this winter
promising spring

Then we will continue to feel stuck
repressed
depressed
not impressed
with monocultural threats
and monopolistic climate traumas
of random stressful win/lose

loss of agency to choose...
