Mermaid to Maiden

  

Rights are not inherent.  Rights are granted by
one’s social order and require the responsibility
of one’s co-patriots to honor.  Rights are a
social contract, impossible to own. 
 
 
How much of our current outraged
insanity comes down from Reagan’s
deinstitutionalization without appropriate
treatment options policy?
 
 
 
we hate ourselves, our lives, our children,
so desperately as if hatred were what we
believe we deserve -- how is that humanity,
why?
 
 
 
when I was young and strong,
I used fear as motivation,
figuring the best way to cope with fear
was to jump in
 
 
 
Memories of yesterdreams
 
Mermaid to Maiden
 
Art’s transformational potential
 
Silent recursive self-reflection
(unrelated to the scale from mean
to kind)
 
Aesthetically expressed ruminated
experience
