Long Sum total Poems

Our cognitive and emotional struggles against dissonance of all varieties,
and struggles for more love and consciousness and health
work better as decompositions laid out between Ego and Eco,
as cooperative nondual co-arising partners,
Left and Right MindBody

Compassion,
rooted in economic capacity and political experience 
within a co-empathic nutritional environment;
like before you came out of Mom.

Nutrition,
rooted in deep listening, learning, and, giving-and-taking, 
absorbing and investing
consuming and producing,
competing and cooperating
double-negatives as positive double-bind dipolar
regenerating...

That which is neutral,
no big deal,
normal,
not noticed,
enjoys an intimate mirror effect,

with day's completion duskly hoping
for red skies at night.

Dregs and tumors of decay
co-arise therapies

bipedal-planted, do stand resiliently firm.

Those who strain their leftbrain stride 
do not walk...

Because I consider it 
To be a cold and illusory 
Means of communication. 
I will only send someone a letter 
If I'm certain it's going to serve 
A definite...

Straight lines, sepia

The suppression of unwanted thoughts

Like time spent in sensory deprivation
Time spent in a droning room
Under sterile light hums, practically drooling

The vacuum of most moments
As standard as cinder blocks
Punctuated by things so washed out,...

Who We Are
By: Tom Wright
7/26/99

We stand today,
products of our lives thus far.
Byproducts of environment, thoughts and acts that we cannot escape.
Each thing we've done in life has made us
the sum total of who we are...

Global warming is on the rise;
hear the hateful voices,
see the angry eyes
Earth temperature is flaring to the moon,
	nuclear hate
gon bring an apocalyptic kaboom
Hostile tweet emotions
		press send to our doom
Then sorrowful hearts
	will be melting soon
Unless we...

Most of us were born with eyes;
But yet, too many of us are blind.
It's not that we are blind physically,
but unfortunately, we cannot see clearly.
There are five senses gifted to us humans   ...

it seems in just the twinkling of an eye
life passes by
and one's left at the brink
with time to think
before the fall 
into the great abyss
where did time go?

For some, life is short
for others, long
But the...
