Prescribing Rebirth To Dt2DT2 came to me, unwillingly and clandestinely,

who was concerned that he was growing up and out
to become an ego-terrorist,
and she had heard of my feminist work as ecotherapist--

A Free-Verse EpicThus it begins—
A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and,
Often a pessimist
Conjoined in arbitrary glory

Of one overly-worked mind—
Charismatic and, of course,
On the pushover, pitiful
And usually...

Enabled EmpathyIt's weird
and sometimes wild
living with a non-LeftBrain verbal dominant
aspiring child,
now young adult
I find myself waiting for him
to nonverbally connect
and correct me
about my patriarchal domineering
economic and political ableist sins
of felt omission from commercial value
and, perhaps worse,

not dystopian,
although not a finished
political wealth utopia,

suspiciously diabolical
competitive win/lose opposition

Organic Empowerment SystemsIt seems we might find
currently undervalued economic
and political health benefits
by applying organic principles
of our healthy PolyVagal NeuroSystem,
at least polyhonically shared
by all God's devilish
and angelic creations.
This NeuroSystemic structure
is fundamentally bilateral
and constantly changing
co-acclimating current experience
with past integrally...
