Father Time's InterviewHi.
We don't have a lot of time,

to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;
An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,

than more pathological dissonance.
But, I found...

Bipartisan DissonanceWhen oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,

Some PoemsA Stolen Memory
A Mirthful Chorus

Asked to let go.

toward humane evolution's progress,

An Anxiously Anticipated EventDear John,
All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;
Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
