including natural
embodied wealth
for all organic
and mineral
and bone
and teeth
and...

Go ahead,
Tell the world what to do
So it’s more like
The world you want.
Forget for a moment
You have only been here
For a moment
While the world

In these troubled times
Let your animal spirit
Be the honey badger
Small but fiercely indomitable 

Stand up, stand tall
As those waves of faux outrage

soon enough for healthy comings 
and goings

A ridiculous...

My cousin and I were dismayed
By the kids who were in her third grade
They had no answers to tell

Who is in the room?
Who owns the room?

When the GreenWoke Tribe

for conquering RedUnWoke DiaTribes

A porky problem
worth resolving

Is our scientifically hoggish evolutionary
survivalist assumption
that all Creatures that Matter

Ageing retainer
losing hearing
