are entertainers, which is why actors and athletes
are paid so much. Thanks for the summaries.

It appears that Feyerabend presents a more accurate normative gestalt
for RightBrain epistemology,
how RightBrain solves chaotic puzzles,
while Popper is better for LeftBrain deduction,
diastolic evolving unfolding

Together evolving toward a dipolar truth
of balancing flexibiity
trending toward regenerative...

Sunrise, late winter
skunk smell
turkey flock
playful otter, too.

The white heron
a great blue,
white phase,
in the abandoned beaver pond.

Purple clematis
its long-awned achenes
in globose heads
spidery, fiery, extravagant fruit!

To identify or classify
birds by
the complexity or beauty
of their songs.

And so

Should we invite the neighbors over for dinner?
Their politics so different from ours.
All the more reason. Combat anomie!
He's worried the town's losing population
but opposes immigration. I like immigrants
but hate passing people on my morning walk.

Black lives matter. Me too.
Not my president. Give peace a chance.
Luck runs out. I like immigrants. 
Power must be challenged by power. 

Equal and opposite reactions.
God is the answer. Love is the answer.
Walk on the...

She's a pack-up and lander,
Like the geese and the gander,
She's a Roma,
On her own-a,
In a two wheeled house,
Involved with no weak willed spouse,
O honey! I've no money but I would be your mouse!

whenever china’s economy exceeds that of the united states
(the year disputed circa. 2016)

who will be calling the shots in the world

I loved those trees, 
limbs draped in plump wild grapes, 
bursting with flavor on my tongue, 
while juice stained my fingers.
	
Tall cottonwoods shadowed 
the creek where we splashed—Sis,
brother, and I—and a giant sycamore 
shaded Granddad's...

Like when mom and pop flushed the gold fish Sam

Directions of Folding
I saw a horrible accident
Ocean blue papered Holiday dry cleaning
Bundled tight

Not her place to cross
Not between the lines
Ignored directions

She flew
High
Confetti tossed skyward
Red, green, blue, skin
A holiday popper
So odd to see a body fly
Twist,...

Lightening bugs flash, 
like the worn celluloid images of old movies,
I sit beneath a great Greta Garbo moon.
I am the heroine of this short.
The dew point drops,
Mists rise.
Crickets chirp.
Muskwats buzz.
Loons ululate and wail.

My dialogue,
The click...

All of my effort that I once did need

Sitting alone by the fire
Warming my newly bared toes,
I remember the days
When by fireplace and blaze
We’d gather and cuddle so close.

We poured corn in the long-handled popper,
Sometimes roasted marshmallows too.
We’d play silly games
Sitting there by...

Spring is finally here; it's warm outside,
meaning the fair will be arriving soon.
In my youth, I'd watch them set up the rides 
while the popcorn popper whistled a tune.

I loved to ride on the merry-go-round,
