FlintFlint
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land

Earthy EmpathyYou've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

After School Jam SessionHow 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
of altruism.
Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken...

Today Is DifferentToday is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.
Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular "Amen!"
Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!"

Hymn To FarewellWhy does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?
Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?
Even resonance

In This Taoist's ViewCould we be doing our best

While you sell our most competitive killing machines

Supremely Courted Systemic FeelingsI believe it was Alfred North Whitehead,
an early developer of cognitive systems thinking,
who observed frequent miscommunication
and confusion
and chaos
over bilateral complexities
of Set v isolated Individual issues
within a systemic set
of inter-related issues.
This comes to mind
as I listen...

Inconvenient WisdomInstant individual redemption
from predative enculturation
is overly spiritualized,
under naturalized,
rightwing evangelical dogma
more likely found in empire-building
strong business-loyalty development texts
than multi-enculturing
re-connecting
re-ligioning nature/spirit scriptures.
If spiritual
and capital redemption from baseline natural evils
is good news for individuals,
yet inapplicable to global...

Hero WorshipI want to respond
to the retired Marine

disappointed at how their patriotism,

A question.

For now.
Subject to chain-reaction change.
As long as we're clear
