“The Scorpion’s Touch”

Under glass
the sound cuts out sharp
just like under water
and we run out of breath 
like insects running around 
frantically out of time
we are magnified 
in our tight enclosures

internally observed
the external turns away

Premium Member Snail Trails and Rat Tails
My transportive 
awesome Muse
speaks of a hiking trail
for an aging snail.

My communicative
wondrous music
is dancing choreography
for an ageless bee
coming.

with the Editor in Chief
of my town's daily GoodNews Bulletin...

No.

When I was about twelve
I began to see my future

overpoweringly sublime advocate for justice 
as global peace outcomed and measured,
As a courtroom drama officer

A flaring hot attorney

Premium Member Great Shakespearean Stage
It has been said
by Shakespearean wit
All the world's a stage.

And so it is, I actively and fluidly suppose,
One Great Transitioning Stage

and eons of becoming cooperatively larger
and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too...

Premium Member Healing Projects
I had two big projects
from 1970 to 1975,
The first,
to earn a usually white Bachelor dual-major degree
(which sounds at least sexist
as a usually black, brown, red, yellow Mistress nondegree)
of deep learning about yin/yang,
right/left,
east/west interconnections

Premium Member Small Powers Everywhere
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

Wide and longing
for committed dialogue
not surrounded
by elitist debate,

Win/lose games,
Zero-sum asinine assumptions
requiring ego-infested shadows

Resisting win/win opportunities
of healthy
democratic dialogue

Between constituencies,
residents sufficiently humble
to become students together
and unschooled 
unprofessional parents
and not...

When asked what skill sets
I hoped to bring
Her local ecology of justice

I was not prepared.

But,

still in process,
I'm ego-working on,
eco-role playing with,
is non-violent communication,
so I mentioned this
