Reproducing Poems

per biology:

am i alive?
what classifies something as alive?

    respiration
i am breathing
but just barely
trying to capture any air i can between sobs
    growth
i am growing 
it becomes increasingly difficult 
recognizing myself in the mirror every day
and believing the next age i'm turning 
    excretion
i am excreting 
i sweat when i do pretty much anything
even though i'm always cold
is there something wrong with me?
or am i just overthinking again?
    reproduction
i am not reproducing 
i can
but i'm not sure i want to 
i wouldn't be a good mom
i'm worried i'd be too much like my own
    metabolism
i am metabolizing 
i always claimed it to be fast but maybe
it's since it doesn't have much to work with
    movement 
i am moving 
my body does it without me knowing
or being conscious 
it just moves
    response to stimuli
i am responding
i respond too much 
too dramatically 
too sensitively 

i fit all the criteria 
so i guess i am alive 
i'm just not living

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Mothers are very unique 
Never to be traded for anything 
The love they give
Comes with no hidden intentions 
A love so real and rare 
Nurturing and culturing their offspring relentlessly.

Women the womb of earth 
Always bestowing blessings on earth 
Steadily reproducing
As they conceive 
Earth receives another legend or hero.

Happy mother's Day 
To all mothers out there
Praying and doing anything 
To see their children win or be at the top 
The love you give is priceless 
Sometimes not reciprocated
But you all never seize your unconditional love 
Mothers our alliance from birth until death.

Mid-age and Crazy

Chiffonade
Basso Continuo Bolero.
The term "procreate" 
refers to the act of reproducing,
 meaning to have children or
 offspring. If you are middle-aged
 and wish to procreate, it means 
you desire to have children later in life,
 which may present some unique 
challenges and considerations. 
While it's possible to have children
 later in life, fertility can naturally
 decline, particularly in women,
 as they get older. 
Here's a more detailed  look:

as well as their l
striking blue color
 The human intellect itself has
 evolved to contribute 
to reproductive success.

SEEING IT! IS BELIEVING

It has been years
Since it has been felt
The movement of the universe 
An ingredient has been formulated 
It has been centuries 
Since it has been utilized 
The movements of planets
An organ reproducing
The wetness of the ground,

The cracking of the ground 
Leaves a rare mark
A sound of it
The cracking of the tombstones
Leaves emptiness in the tombstone
A movement of it
The amusement of it all,

It has been years
Since it has been seen
The movement of the shinning light 
An ingredient has been created 
It has been centuries 
Since it has been shown
The movement of the world 
The wetness of the ground

Premium MemberThe Human Heart

The human heart is an amazing organ
It needs to be treated with the upmost care
It is the one most delicate features
That keeps us alive from birth and death
How could it survive for so many years
It's not magic well some say it is
It's the magic of the human condition
The amazing feat of reproducing itself
In it's own image AMAZING!
The human heart is an amazing organ
Treat it with the upmost care

Premium MemberWhen Resonant

My spiritual vulnerability
to feel persuaded
and powers to persuade
emerge curiously informed
by Others speaking suggestions
and my own inside power digestions
not yet said out loud,
uproarious

Yet co-arising
from life's multi-generational crowd
EarthDay choir
cyber cloud
singing and dancing every day
for Earth's integral potential,
sacramental organic health
reproducing GREEN capitalized wealth,
fabulously non fatuous

inside
as outside
nuturingly nutritious

above 
as below
delightfully delicious

Suggestions that land
sync
resonate
with percussive persuasion,
efficiently efficacious.

Like
"Maybe you need appreciation
for who you are
already?"
non vindictively victorious

Maybe I want
more integrity,
synergy,
positive neurosystemic
organic
healthy
sacred holonic energy?
non glamorously glorious.

Premium MemberCyborgs of the Corn

Tapping into our neurons 
       where only brain cells should go 
       Past dreams mean nothing now 
        unconscious thoughts just flow 

          An abstract realm of reason
         touchpad signals unbeknown 
      Fires up, post-human imagination 
        our intelligence genes regrown 

          And so it's all written in code
          old commandments redrawn
          Binary replaces ancient Latin
          age of replicants has dawned 

         Interfaced with artificial reality
            and engaged to usb clones 
          We marry terabyte processors
          reproducing ten billion drones

       Reprogrammed ancient scriptures 
           floods overwhelm our homes
          Heaven and hell's using robots 
          I-God now accedes the throne

Premium MemberA Tiny Little Thing

A creature no bigger than the size of our finger
Zooms in and out and lingers
Can we comprehend the mechanics of this wonderous creation?
That sets foot on cultivated soil and breeds manifestation
Stealing things from us that we will never get back
Larger than life but tiny enough to attack
An intricate and detailed little vessel
That shoots through the sky like a missile 
Can we create this creature from scratch? 
Mimicking and reproducing we are definitely no match
To the infinite Creator that says “be” and it is
Who fashions us and molds us we bow down in ultimate devotion
And succumb to the flock notoriously that is amidst
To a creature no bigger than our fist

Premium MemberHealing Bodyminds

After Yang's struggle
suffering
seismic seizures

Dawn's Yin's peace
restoration
expansion
without grasping
even life v death

Before Yang's next struggle
suffering
seizure
battling ego's timeless absence

Like Left hemisphere's
embodied dominance,
shadow subject
of objective dreams

Then Right hemisphere's energy prominence,
bilateral compassion;

Yang's ego-natural body
reincarnating Yin's primordial
eco-spirited mind

Where polynomial 1
seizes 0
to make polypathic 1,
and not not reproducing polyphonic 0,
and every revolving 
spiraling
hypersuasive tipping point
in-between

HolyWinded Spirit's Earthly journeys--
Wealthiest introspection
for healthiest extraspection;
atomic images
becoming shivered waves.

Compassionate Teachers

Left hemisphere's cognitive nature of mind
emulates Right hemisphere's inductive spirit
of creation
and destruction,
regeneration
and degeneration,
and all doubly-resonant tipping points 
balancing analogous metaphors in-between.

For these disciples,
polypathic travelers,
perpetual emigrants into spirit
and immigrants from secularized 
mundane 
under-valued nature,
students of ecosystemic resilience,
Earth's yang nature is Master
and yin spirit is Mistress
with unflagging strength of an oak
and complex flowing grace
of a willow,

Both rooted
and further rooting
from original NonZero Sum seeds
of integrity's sacred potential
down,

And reaching
leafing
flowering
compassion climaxing
from ZeroSum DNA origins
up

Through heart and mind
and on down
round again to 
and from 
many regenerations of feet
for reproducing healthy DNA roots
of sacred Earth's rememory.

Premium MemberEggsactly Coarising

Which came first?
An individual ego-centered identity,
or Earth's self-governing ecosystemic awareness?

Is like asking
Which came first?
Egg
or chicken?

Each lies potentially co-arising
within the other,
chicken DNA programming
within the eggshell,
and egg-producing capacity
within the chicken
and not her rooster.

We could have no inside ego centering awareness
without Earth's ecosystemic resonant health
as resiliently wealthy
herstorically reproducing
history and herstory,
egocenters born win/win co-attached
with healthy EarthMothers
reproducing eggs
for individuating egos. 

So,
when correct identity politics
is not also relationally interdependent 
co-empowering economics,
then that would be
unsafe
unhealthy
supremacist 
incorrect 
undemocratic
negative elitist politics

Over-investing in today's wealthy chickens
by under-investing in tomorrow's healthy eggs.

Premium MemberQuaking Terror

Run, run, run from the outbreak of quaking terror, 
but where can you go or hide because it's not done. 
Trapped, in bitter anguish, hands cuffed behind your back, 
it’s taken your pride, you'll remember forever. 

The locust has been released from its amber cage, 
reproducing, scatter millions, killing slowly 
igniting a Molotov cocktail round beings 
with its infected poison sting convulsing rage. 

People are feeling pain from the quaking terror.

Mankind Is Bonkers

How can mankind be so evil,
milleniums of war killing people.
We've enough intelligence to be aware,
survival means we breed so we don't care.

Is there ever meant to be peace on Earth,
when life has been warring since the birth.
Accelerating evolution, propelling our progress,
yet with all these revolutions we fight no less.

After reproducing our natural instinct is murder,
it's the only thing we produce that's occured more.
We fight to win, we fall and reduce, we conquer, 
we're dim fools, it's like, mankind is full on bonkers.

Ave Artificial Life

Hey there Avidian
who do you
think you are?

Some rara avis
eminently gifted?
a New Age prophet
with memory that learns
and yearns to grow?
Ovidian offspring
of eminent domain?

The yeuk to replicate, this
antsiness to clone— were they
preprogrammed hyper-neatly?
How did your being
and becoming
come to be?

Who gave you the right
to call yourself life?
What instilled in
your cerebral traits
an avid urge for more?

Endowed by your Creator
with neural networks
that open evolving paths
to rival what brain
I know as mind…

Characterized
as organisms
genetically coded,
to be or not to be
intelligent in form
and feature—

Though digital we
both you and I be
each in our own
artificial mannerisms—

reproducing
natural shape-shifting
permutations
procreating
mutant innovations
actuating
willful obsolescence

(ay may well
all come to pass
amen)—

Still
the thought of you
gives me the fantods.

(If you don’t see what I mean,
get thee to a glossary.)



~ Harley White
