what we might well do and be

NGO projects supplying alternatives to government services for innovation/research

Political demonstrations that are important to be part of as groups working together on

ongoing projects during transportation and interacting with others at the event to

spread ideas/information

 

 

 

It’s not so much what we love – such a tricky verb

It’s that question we need to explore,

experiments that intrigue us,

that essential project calling for our attentive exercise,

work to improve our lives that feels real,

that gives us shining dreams, appreciation

for who we can be

mythical creatures

like faeries and sprites

call me from bed to adventure

those nights I give leave

 

Impossible possibilities

bubble high through wide sky

Always crying for aid

while there’s no one to listen

Why would I want to trade my wonders

for society’s lies?

Invisible beneath worth of social gaze,

running free neither sin nor disability

 

 

Rights cannot be given --

they are naturally ours as creature of reason.

Rights can be taken away, by violence.

 

 

Solitary

in my codes, beliefs

knowing politics as the science of order.

All human acts are corruptible.

Needs, desires, self-fulfilling fantasies

outrun codes, beliefs.

pre-scripting

Strung to a key so angrily controlled,

unlike my questing music

 

 

Like a movie – record all the emergent images

then edit to tell the story revealed

 

 

Mourning memories steeped in beauty

of deep emotion no other mind will see

 

 

It must be wonderful (even in terrible conditions)

to have camaraderie of community

 

 

Playing into this culture of divisiveness

as if spitting into the face of President Obama’s

often stated hope that we are not Left/Right America

-- we are a people composed of multitudes

 

 

What if our culture of hate is manifestation

of free-floating anxiety in epidemic

and overwhelming degree

 

 

Plenty of suffering to go around

-- it’s not a zero sum game

 

 

divisiveness is a tactic of fascism

 

 

Once noticed we are hated

and hat breaks obstructing rules

Beware

Mercury trine Venus approaching

share and create information
energy balance


Quietly doing what’s right – as best that I

can
Not because it’s right – because that’s

who I am


We need, seek, greater entertainment,
distraction from miseries of every day.
Desperate, we hide.
Traumatic minds escape into play
at fantasy, more engaging worlds.


No need to denigrate listeners with
different experience – teach and learn
what each brings.


No longer interested in competition.
Fleeting energies expand with
surprising synergies.

beautiful dreaming, sliding through drifts

of images
holding/not holding/dissolving
runningLeaping splat into waving fields,

finding the kinds
of meaning when we don't mean, but

accept and create

working it out

we tend to move through the world with blinders and coded boundaries, not seeing what we see, but what we have told ourselves or been told so long questioning is never sought
we, caught in our dramas and regrets and pain, recoil from compassionate connection that is our one true hope for humane community of mutual repair

we cry into our pillows or outward to The Universe of our loneliness, then shun those we see as not who we want to be
we decry inhumanity writ large or small seen on our screens or streets or halls, but softly or to agree -- and just what is humanity?

10 days past

if you are crying due to shoelessnes
most likely your feet feel pain upon unkind pavement
to see on your path a footless man does nothing for your pain
perhaps, rather than cry as you pass by,
sit awhile with this new found neighbor and converse, commiserate, philosophize
no need for feet
to feel and speak together
