Long Uncooperative Poems

Dear neighbors,

I realize we have not met,
other than the guy next door
but that doesn't really count
cause that was just to put up a fence between us,
and I have met Marvelously Mad Max,
behind me, on the...

I remember my cherished Wolf Cub pack, 
How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings, 
The solemnity...

It is a strange dream
in which an animal rights advocate
is swamped with questions
from Chief Justice Roberts.

A vicious dog,
trained to attack humans 
with politically incorrect audacity
to trespass against his white supremacist Master,
has been imprisoned
and sentenced to...

An Eastern term, karma
for Western causes
leading to subsequent events,
one bilateral lined dimension
temporally expressed,
explicated,
delineated,
articulated
co-arising dipolarity
correlational
co-relational,
negative and/or positive

Energy
empowerment/disempowerment
enlightenment/disenlightenment

Pathological benightedness
dualdark bilateral
East v West dissociative energy
potential power
shadowed unfore-giving lacking light

Repeatedly,
redundantly enough
that we create "pathology" language
to describe constant,
or nearly constant,
win/lose...

My own patriotic U.S. extended family,
historically,
and currently
remains StraightWhiteMale privileged
in our collective memories,
if not imaginations,
of spiritual communion
with all the more privileged saints
present,
past,
and future

But, we have also suffered
from rather too much faith in capitalism,
which, like democracy,
is frequently...

Thinking back on my all White
but One,
all Right
but One,
classroom learning experience,

I can see why
many of my straight white male classmates,
especially those with early varsity team excellence
and above average grade point systems
tipping toward future capital-valued employment
might...

I'm worried
you have over valued
your favorite deceptively entertaining 
disformed
dis-eased commodity,

DisInformation's strategic value
and disvalue
and misvalue
depreciatively revaluated
against long-term resonant
and resilient democratic constitutional
win/win eco-political wealth
of USA patriotic empowerment
for resilient health and safety ecosystems

Not Nationalist Republican

or acutely
or ecologically
or therapeutically...

Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA is 114 miles from my home in San Francisco. It's home to my friend Jane (a former fellow worker) she now finds California's central coastline to be the next best place to live.

She's...

Long long ago there once lived a King
who wished that a child the stork would bring.
He and his Queen were very sad
at the thought of an heir that they never had.

The Queen walked beside the...

Where do bully pulpits go
when the only audience
right or left
is silence?

How would a narcotic Bully speak
after wonder and awed silence
return to anxious quiet
within a healing ecological culture
of intentional BadNews shunning?

How could these heated wounds
of belated...

Great transitions became part of human experience
after we gave up on daily nomad lifestyle,
perhaps too bohemian
to have ever actually existed
out of nutritional nurturing choice

As contrasted with necessity
of drought,
floods,
pestilence,
famine,
chronic wars,
climatic absence of healthy peace.

Great transitions
are choices,
positive...

Once upon a time, a possi or sparkle of beetles lived in an abandoned tract.  The group was cloistered for being so uncooperative with hardworking beetles and for being selfish.  There are adult...

When rollerblading I threw out my back. 
A sidewalk bump sent me off the track. 
On the way home I had felt out of whack. 
Did extra stretches to create motion slack. 

But the lumbar...

I'll be turning 68 this spring
and still looking for a health-wealthy home.

This feels remarkably like a younger traveler's game,
with less capital-acquisition baggage
and toxic furniture
and uncooperative tools.

Embarrassing
for an ecotherapist
to be so Earth-habitat unrooted.

Not to indulge in...

Sinking in sweltering fire 
Angst rooting me to the spot 
This denial-- feeding the liar 
I swim in no emotion...much like a robot

Drunk by the flooded regret 
Many the times you refuse my offer 
All the time you refuse it,...

The Prize 
The bobber floats, but when it dips, my heart skips for hooked lips. The line tightens, the tug is strong, I reel in. The fight is on. It's a tug of war, an...

Fear-based legislation,
more against our diverse pathologies
than for our multiculturing health relationships,

The attempt to govern negative emotions,
outcomes of poor communication,
is always
and everywhere
a corrupt effort,
a suboptimizingly ineffective
unhealthy
impoverishing
unenlightened political
and disempowering economic
uncooperative idea.

The opposite may also be true power
and...

We looked at one another so often,
So deeply and completely,
That the courage it took to stay in abusive relationships
Became more uncooperative than the rain showers
Who fall just at the moment a picnic is starting,
Or the...

The Pope Came to the Congress
By Franklin Price
9/25/2015

The Pope came to the Congress
Both houses gathered there
His excellence had no defense
For their uncooperative share
In the state and the condition
That this nation now is in
Cannot repeat the...

What an oddity
Doing fine
But my mind is being pulled
So many directions

Trying hard to grasp
Focusing
Where I am going

It just keep on running
Hearing you talking
Goes on and off
Feeling my soul floats
Then comes back

Paying attention
Being in the moment
Yet...

Uncooperative 
self reliant
unhelpful or
unwilling to asit
often done to
achieve benevolent
goalies
prioritizing the
well being of others over
the well being of ones self.

Pain litters the once joyful heart
Hurting every day.
Lies pile up constantly.
In the darkness of her bedroom
screams and cries no hears
cause agony and despair.
Her innocence is lost,
Lost like her trust.
Pain captures millions,
to hold on to forever.
His...

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty,
Liberty is nothing,
If a person is n’t aware,
About his enjoyment for living.

What is liberty?
Where a person is corrupt,
Where a person is criminal, 
Where a person is robber.

What is liberty?
If a person is careless,

nothing is perfect
rain does fall sometimes
the weather can be temperamental
the sun can be stubborn
the moon can be uncooperative
in the end, we do the work to work it all out

nothing is perfect
valentines day can be cancelled
