the CoOp goes back to when I was eight,
and I thought,
assumed really,
everyone indulged in Thought Experiments
about what would my optimal Eden Paradise.

It's hard to say where and when our town's People of Faith Cooperative started.

After all,
we have all emerged together,
and are still emerging

This story remains unfinished
as do all the best tales told.
Yet I must warn you
it has a happy healthy ending,
not dystopian,
although not a finished
political wealth utopia, 
Ever After LoveLife;
warm accompaniment
trusted energy of democracy

Where this power story...

of cooperative care-giving,
healthy nurturing behavior,
Golden Rule economic...

We are surrounded,
sometimes aversively beset,
upset, 
by diverse warm and colder felt attributes of love.

We have each known and felt candidates for resonance,
waiting for our more stringent,

Those remaining who believe unfettering capitalism

 Too much testosterone in our Bologna

too much testosterone-e in our baloney

and mercy 
and therapy for all your most fragile...

is pushed from top to bottom - to entice
with policies immoral, stupid, reckless,
for which the population pays the price.
