or not me space

And...

My favored Muse
mysteriously asks
muted
kinda sexist
win/lose 
either/or 
complex bilateral questions.

Oppositional

nearly despairing quests
exploring why I have yet to find
Faith
Hope
or delightful Joy
as names for a boy

Who might be...

Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism

Stop pretending
your sexism is natural

Stop pretending
your homophobia 
is healthy heterosexuality

your religious orthodoxy
isn't xenophobia

It seems to me,
declared the preacher
to the distracted music Teacher,
that sacred MonoTheism
smugly explains 
and exalts AnthroOwner Privilege
to ordain,
buy and sell
Earth's health-care rights.

It may sound to...

My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day

She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes

Because,

A problem with breath-focused sitting
eyes hooded
closed down sensory receptor meditation,

and surrounded by self-impressed fools,
like me
or against me.

Too much empowerment
with not enough enightenment
anticipates

Cells work is play
to resiliently thrive
only in organic systems.

Individual yolked cells
each with her own ego-governor

and divide tragically apart

More like symbiotic regenerations
of surfing cantilevers

Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace

Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular

My grandfather
seemed wise with years
walking his rural spiritual path
in a relentlessly white
Christian dualistic church
dividing sinful nature
from sacred spirit.
