Polypathic Political Scientists
I have had a highly redundant,
one might even choose polypathic,
graduate studies experience
spanning my adult life to date.
This began with a semester of Philosophy.
Just enough to learn I wanted something more experiential,
a more embodied communication environment...

Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant polyculturing health
Care given
as kind received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth
Maybe...

Healthy Caring Systems
Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more
Both Father Sun's timeless
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms
regenerating rich
empowering
soulful soil
and surfing seas
And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

Employment Trauma
My protagonist today,
a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples
Is off this morning

regular custodial collared routine,

UnWatering Trumpian Terror
I'm so confused,
raised to believe cooperative love powers
over competing fears
about scarcity of healthy time,
and other resources
for evacuating anger
about past over- and under-valuing of myself
as a regenerate wealth source
CoPresent ReTort,
raised to believe the Golden...

Education As If All Deaths Matter

Community Health Assurance
Transparently robust private/public healers,

investigate, with appreciation,
cooperative health insurance

healthy homes,
resilient transportation,

Urbane History Lessons
I have a hardbound copy of
"The City of Hartford 1784-1984"
although most of this coffee table story
of unfortunate events
takes place between 1850 and 1950s,
before and after the UnCivil War,
and,
like the U.S. Catholic Church
and many MainLine Protestant...

Earthy Empathy
You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

Our Earthcafe Coop
In one sense,
the Cafe CoOp
started as my therapeutic retirement dream.
But,
in quite another
the CoOp goes back to when I was eight,
and I thought,

everyone indulged in Thought Experiments
about what would my optimal Eden Paradise.

Mathgeek Passions
Healthy nutrition research
starts with wealth producing past searches,
individual through community co-investments
in good and fragrant meals,
or even harmonic and graceful music with dance performances.
Ingesting healthy passions
consumes PositivEnergy wealth
for future co-productive system projections.

Ecclesia
An old Greek word, ecclesia,
is often translated as church,
but could also be thought of as a civilization
acting civilly,
as a citizenry
acting as responsible citizens.
The noun side of Ecclesia
casts residents as consumers
of democratic and economic cooperative systems,
while...

Superior Courts of Ecological Justice
What evidence do we have that businesses receive financial as well as other nutritionally healthy benefits,
by co-investing cooperatively within health-developing community cultures?

Games We Play
Yang, dear.
Yes, my lovely Yin.
Why do you map Game Theory
onto EcoFeminist Political Theory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.
Really!
How sexist?
Well you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum WinLose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending...

Today Is Different
Today is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.
Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular "Amen!"
Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!"

Let Us Speak Clearly
Let me speak clearly with you
dear religious and atheist Trumpians,
A fool in executive office
is a leader
only in foolish directions.
A rich thief
is the worst thief
as survival motives
are absent,
so self-thrival motives
remain pick your pocket rampant.

Jesus Messiah As Climate Bodhisattva
To my sisters,

as Supreme UnitingWealthyStates
sustainable legal/moral Savior
I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.

Faith In History Lessons
Patterns of phylogenic history
retell our creative creation story
as bicameral restoration
of Earth's nature-spirit ecology,
both Eastern karma
and Western co-redemptive grace.
Spiritual memory experience
of RNA
and later DNA developments
and traumatic extinctions,
positive great transitions
and double-negative traumas;
are exegetical rhythms
and sacred seasoned pattern...

Hymn To Farewell
Why does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?
Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?
Even resonance

Once Upon A Christian Time
Once upon a Roman Empire building time

to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,

Couples Counseling
My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son

like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.

is an ADHD Latina,
