if you stop by here

go to "Transition Party USA"

chill globally groove locally

all hail failed cenozoic
bye bye dinosaurs and hello birds
flowers arrived and bloomed
& so did we tree shrews

now another ecological collapse
megafauna hunted down
on all continents just yesterday
dominating and subduing

no fun at all any more
time to reintegrate
with echosystems
niche by niche

transition to resilience

fall fell and leaves of poetree dried up and blew away
now winter snowflakes swirl and spiral thru the skies
bright lights shine into oncoming years of peak @@
each lengthening day brings spring much closer to our door

brass bands will serenade transition towns around the world
dancers will dance those seven great themes the live long day
the Word spreads songs resonate tapdancers clatter
every prophet poet keeps warm in heart what She will say

insufficient carrying capacity

We're going over the cliff of unsustainability
or "insufficient carrying capacity" now
as i "speak" into the "hivemind" of non-community
if we don't ban advertising
ban TV from the lives of children birth to age 7
ban computers iPods other "screens"
ban "technococooning" devices birth to age 18
we will inevitably slide further and further
into a pacifying and cortex-pleasuring dream world
that allows corporations to kill off big chunk of speciation
in the name of "profit" and "free markets"
or simply "business as usual"

resource wars

i remember curious george bush the-what-me-worry? kid from yale
via texas and his big brother tom cheynie, no dick it was, from yale
via wyoming oil men from different western states gave the ticket
variety and a mix of charm and smarm more vivacious than mussolini
neither would look good with an adolf rotsbremse under his nose
fortunately naomi wolf's great aunt could sniff out the rezemblintzes
tell the big girl to make some sense of this and do better than pretzel
mr. pretzel took a nom de plume "sebastian haffner" not the one & only
good german but pretty damn close to it in his day because everyone
not just snevil chamberlain wanted sooooo badly to look the other way
or
jump right in!

it's worse today

half our economy "financials"

the end of an earlier poem a good beginning

deja vu all over again each day
no new news from mogadishu or bombay
on high definition digital array
america armed to the teeth
dare not let its children out to play

it's august eve and i will ask for help
all over again & in an odd way every day
voice from lake wononskopomonk has its say
calling all horns and drummers to come this way
until everyone comes out to play

"financials" all on paper no real production
profiting on profit a great seduction
derivatives derived from penumbral emanations
conduct most unbecoming to great nations
drowning not waving hey! hey! hey!
