Working in
aggregate,
coordinating
movement,
a network
of cells
sends
signals;
agitating,
threatening,
overtaking,
oppressing
such that
disorder
overwhelms;
paralyzing
developmental
processes,
limiting
capacity,
as
patterns
reveal
themselves.
However
stuck
we
feel,
the knot
is
not
all
the
system
can
accomodate.
To Be
Continued…
Expecting
More
As obvious
Patterns
Reveal
Templates.
Each example
Replicating
Similar
Actions
Each time
A version
Of itself
Repeated.
Thus
Maintaining
Sustaining
Perpetuating
Exhausting
Yet needing
To Be
Continued…
Losing our
Sense
Of taste
And smell,
Leaving foul
Stench
And bitter
Notes
Lingering,
Polluting,
Enough
To notice
Despite
Partially
Impaired
Functionality.
We can
Still
Smell
Rot
And taste
Resentment,
Spite,
Cruelty;
Evil
Disguised
As
Victimhood.
The unthinkable
Keeps happening
Depriving
Innocents
And innocence.
Conspiracy
Marries
Weaponry
And the
Inexplicable
Becomes
Tolerated,
Having lost
Taste.
Having lost
Sense.
COVID arrived
Officially
On Friday
Afternoon
After
I chaperoned
My better
Half
To the
Eye
Clinic
For surgery.
Masked
And only
Briefly
Present,
Encountering
Only
A couple
Assistants,
My role
As caregiver
Immediately
Disrupted
By
Two
Parallel
Lines.
The frog
In my
Throat
Croaked,
And chills
And aches
And exhaustion
Ensued.
Now
I had
To be
Patient
And avoid
The patient
At all
Costs.
We separated
And sterilized
Our small
Space
Hoping to
Not make
Anything
Worse.
I was
Dreading
Feeling
Worse
As I
Have gotten
Accustomed
To feeling
Dread
Daily
For
Years.
Chronic
Conditions
Seem like
Zombies
Coming and
Going;
Returning,
Not leaving.
Healing
Often
Feels
Unusual.
Intractable
Conditions
Suck
Energy.
Daily
News
Breaks me
Daily.
It feels
As though
It may
Get worse
Knowing
That surely
It can
Get better
If only
People
Aided
Healing.
Meanwhile
I’m healing
From Covid
This week
Faster than
I ever
Remember
Healing
Before.
I was
Boosted.
It worked.
The genius
Human
Body
Works
Despite
Years
Of being
Convinced
Otherwise.
There is
Still
Reality–
Not merely
Experience
Opinion
Or stories.
We may
Feel
As though
We are
On the
Titanic,
But we
Can
Still
Heal
With
Care .
The party
Of Lincoln
Long
Gone,
Seceding
From itself
Like angry
Dangerous teens
With weapons
And platforms
Slamming
Doors
And stealing
The keys
To the
Car (and worse),
Driving
Just
To
Drive,
Enjoying
Owning
Anyone
Else.
Flailing,
And easily
Stoked
And used,
A confederacy
Of evil
Corruption
Cynically
Separating
Devaluing
Threatening
Menacing
Deconstructing
Then
Reconstructing
With hate
And deception
Regardless
Of consequences
Anymore.
The party
Of Lincoln
Was
Assassinated.
Embracing
Violence
Claiming
Freedom
How free
Are we
In the
21st Century?
The anti
Elites
Fund
A “Billionaire”
Reconstruction
Begat
The KKK
After
The 14th
And
15th
Ammendments
Expanded
Citizenship
And voting
Rights–
An expanding
Trajectory
Some seek
To contract.
But really
Now
It’s
Power;
Pure,
Sickening
Power
Of Hate.
We
Cha
Cha
Cha
Thinking
We’re
Stepping
Forward
But
One foot
Is touching
The floor
Then
Side by side
Both step
In place.
Starting
Again,
Feeling
Initiative
Until
Alternating
Stepping
In place.
Dancing
Isn’t
Linear
Movement.
We move
Our stories
Along
Paths
Looking
Backwards
And ahead,
Intending
To explain
Ourselves
And our
Actions
Reacting
With purpose,
Aiming
For success.
Dancing
Isn’t
Seeking
Accomplishment.
Performing,
Expressing
Inspired
Movement
Flowing
Energetically,
Rhythmically,
Socially,
Fast,
Slow,
Partnering,
Solo.
Dancing
Is
Four
Dimensional;
For
All
We do
Is dance.
The headline today:
US losing
Life
Expectancy
Due to
COVID19
The average
Lifespan
Is
One
Year
Less.
Life expectancy
Has generally
Denoted
Progress
Referring to
Extending
Years
Of living.
The goal
Has been
To be
Alive
As
Long
As
Possible.
Now,
Some seek
To define
Life
Extending
Before
Birth
As long
As possible.
(Thus far,
We’ve counted
After birth.)
What to
Expect
When
You’re expecting?
Your
Life
Matters
Less
Than
Potential
Biological
Processes
Not yet
Formed
Or
Counted
On
The scale
Of Life
Expectancy.
My unscientific
Analysis
Suggests that
Most of us
Want to approach
A century
On earth
Outside a womb
Feeling ok
Then passing
Peacefully
In our sleep.
I don’t expect
My life
To end
That way
Or
Unfold
Without
Issues.
What
Do we
Expect
Of life
After
Birth
Before
Death?
That
Deserves
More
Attention
As we
Are losing
All that
Too.
Nada.
Not a chance
In Hell
On earth
By the sea
To lake
Or island
Of Manhattan
Nor
County
Of
The Braves
Where
Claims of
Nothing
Wrong
Defying
Justice
Threatening
Upheaval
Even talk
Of Civil
War
Anew
Will
Stop
This
Crazy
Train
Of
Lies
And thefts
Barnacles
All,
Clinging
To
A Zero
With
Nothing
But shilling
For
Self
For
Power
And money
As
Investigations
Zero In
On
Facts
It
Figures
Are crimes
For which
We are
Paying
The price
Of
Losing
Democracy.
That
Zero
Must be
Indicted.
You’re right
All
The time;
Always
With
Good
Intentions,
Presumably.
And
So
Am I
Also
Right
Knowing
What
Should
Be
Even when
A counter
Is proposed.
Days
Are unclear;
Anything
Can happen.
Anything
Can go
Wrong
It seems,
Despite
Knowing
What needs
To happen.
Good luck
Feels certain
These days.
Unfortunately,
Rational thought,
Assumed
Necessary,
Seems secondary
Or irrelevant,
Never
Mind
Truthiness–
That
Was
So early
Aughts.
Truthiness
Was
Truth
Adjacent.
Sort of
Sounded
Like something
Actual,
But false
In reality
That we
All shared.
As a
Matter
Of fact
No longer
Exists
When
Facts
Don’t matter.
Only
Being
Right
Matters
Even
When
Right
Is wrong.
It’s
Power
And
Oppression,
Micro
And
Macro
Aggressions.
Personal
Is
Political.
Or
Are we
Each
Always
Exerting
Dominance
In the
Name of
Being right?
Too much
Is Wrong
With
The world.
I know,
Right?
What’s left
When what’s
Handed down
Is cruelty?
In the name of
Jesus
Or The
Forefathers,
Decisions
To upend
And reverse
And ignore,
Or pretend that
Conception
Is holy
And immaculate,
21st Century Puritans
Called Originalists
Or just
Christians
(Which is an insult
To Christianity),
Have left
A heinous legacy.
Power,
Greed—
The usual
Culprits
Hand down
To the young
The American
Nightmare.
Fossil fuels
And fossils fuel
A changing climate
Devastating now.
What’s left
After being
Handed
Destruction
Regarded
As victory
For themselves
Only?
The uncivil
War
Or revolution
Is revolting.
I know
It’s
Too
Much
But what
Will you
Leave
Ahead?
The Right
Left lies,
Insurrection,
Gun fetish,
Retraction
Of women’s
Autonomy
And health
Threats to
LGBTQ+,
And
Elections.
There is much
Left
To do
Starting now.
Hate
Needs apathy
As much
As support.
Democracy
Demands
Participation
For all.
In addition
To voting,
It’s in
Your hands.
