by my nephew
for an essential reading list
for PermaCultural Therapeutic Design,
my Taoist thoughts went back
to Unitarian-Universalist

Dr. Thomas Starr King (1824-1864)

She knows what it means,
and must never not mean,
to work with newborn win/win children
perverted by wounding RightWing patriarchal punishments
overpowering LeftWing ecofeminist invitations
to liberality of loyal transparency 
and lovely vulnerability.

When she asserted her sociological conclusion:

Every time you walk into my space, 
Everything that’s real about me,
Gets erased.
Somehow, it always ends up
My mistake—
Comatose I am,

Can I fix this ever,
 If not now?
Every...

July 20, 1969, this day in history

Have You looked at us lately?
We're so far away
And so full of hate, for each other.
Father?
Have You listened much lately?
The things that we say
Make my head hang in shame and disgrace.
Father?
Are You reading the papers?

America was born in protest violence,
but Lady Liberty now has

He commemorates it by sniffing iron fillings,
Masticating rusty nuts and bolts and hooks
Which he then washes down
With a pint of crude oil!
