The Wonder Boys

Greatest Story Never ToldThis 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...

From Grime To ShineMy heart is glimmering glass,

Weapons Down AngerAnger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.
I have seldom noticed
when my own hot-burning issues
cold turn into
a Self and Other harsh
punishing vengeance weapon.
When left unnoticed,

unmeditated
by forgiving lack of ego-supremacist
humility
By explicit co-invested intentions

afraid bad weather would smother
all hope of restoring future peace
who first...

Effective FeedbackWho would want a thermostat
unable to effectively regulate talking to itself?
We all long for recreative environmental response systems
of mutual listening wonder,
sacredly transcending mere domination of will-power
without bilaterally cooperative holistic prominence
of systemic identity ourselves.
