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!

refusing taxes
getting more fanatic about peace by the day
because the irrationality of unwinnable wars
becomes ever more glaring as the heat goes up
and the species disappear.
all global military budgets refocussed on problem solving
would help the situation a lot!
AS the MOST over-armed and over-preemptive state
on this particular and very rare planet
we have to lead the way out of this mess & so
let's nominate grandiose childish and very sensitive
instrument players [NOT "musicians"]
to lead the parade out of civilization
and into
the prime
the dromenon
the great transition
the great healing

War Preparers Anonymous by Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut on the @@ scheme
"Compulsive preparers for World War III,
in this country or any other,
are as tragically and, yes, as repulsively
addicted as any stockbroker passed out
with his head in a toilet in Port Authority Bus Terminal.
"For an alcoholic to experience a little joy,
he needs maybe three ounces of grain alcohol.
Alcoholics, when they are close to hitting bottom,
customarily can't hold much alcohol.
"If we know a compulsive gambler who is dead broke,
we can probably make him happy with a dollar to bet
on who can spit further than someone else.
"For us to give a compulsive war-preparer a fleeting moment
of happiness, we may have to buy him three Trident submarines
and a hundred intercontinental ballistic missiles mounted
on choo-choo trains.
"If Western Civilization were a person --
"If Western Civilization, which blankets the world now,
as far as I can tell,
were a person --
"If Western Civilization, which surely now includes the Soviet Union
and China and India and Pakistan and on and on, were a person --
"If Western Civilization were a person,
we would be directing it to the nearest meeting of
War Preparers Anonymous.
We would be telling it to stand up before the meeting and say,
'My name is Western Civilization. I am a compulsive war-preparer.
I have lost everything I ever cared about.
I should have come here long ago.
I first hit bottom in World War 1.'
"Western Civilization cannot be represented by a single person, of course, but a single explanation for the catastrophic course it has followed during this bloody century is possible. We the people, because of our ignorance of the disease, have again and again entrusted power to people we did not know were sickies.
"And let us not mock them now, any more than we would mock someone with syphillis or smallpox or leprosy or yaws or typhoid fever or any of the other diseases to which the flesh is heir. All we have to do is separate them from the levers of power, I think.
"And then what?
"Western Civilization's long, hard trip back to sobriety might begin.

God is GOOD. . . ALL the time!
God is GOOD... ALL the time!
She don't do genocide. She don't do crime.
Path as secular 24/7 12/8 religion
May 23rd Pentacost (Christian and Eastern Orthodox) on my Blake calendar 2010
writing from 4 to 9 is fine, breaks for tuba
since the politics of Path not working get back to liturgy
people play the way people grace the space
wordless and let the spirit move
treat nypathtopeace as a founding document
amazing grace our aspiration
have words for every song unuttered on zurna&dauli principles
find words of surrender and peace in your own language
started the day at 4 a.m. after contemplating sir herbert read's chapters of to hell with culture the night before. good saturday night read. this morning spent better part of two hours with "soteriology in other religions" at wikipedia.
pagan -- a grain god who becomes bread and beer
christian -- following the Oneness tendency from polycrates, polycarp, ignatius thru abelard, servetus, swedenborg, blake, elvis presley (baptised twice in Oneness @9 and @14) so why did elvis and jocko grow ugly, distorted,
allow themselves to be drugged to death?
they got commodified, alienated, turned into monsters, absorbed into
barfield's appearances/idolatry syndrome
discover the pelagians -- vico's humanity in full control
hence responsible for crimes
against humanity, etc. in need of repentence, baptism, receipt of Holy Spirit, a constant quest for grace, 4 ease (edenic equality eternal essential) joy
church of christ, scientist -- only new testament, multiple schisms
fred's dancing Socrates no one spread the word
at one ment atonement a tone meant
so many afirmations of the Path as a path including jesus & socrates & buddha
as teachers of at one ment atonement a tone meant
seek juncture phenomena juxtaposition
Receipt of the Holy Spirit is musicking-for-ecstatic-dancing
Simple
Natural
get better at it do it daily in public spaces and many other places
mobility inclusion funny hats just a start
booth led boldly with his big bass drum. . . . . . .
tuba mira spargens sonum . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
let's live the world we believe is best . . . . . . . . .

a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian right
[20th century corpstate fascism]
a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian left
[20th century statecorpse communism]
both of which have been delusional destructive and deadly
in relation to both humanity and Nature
both statecorpse left and corpstate right
been hell bent on militarism
power control using different delusional ideologies
to achieve the same power-over control domination goals
nowadays militarism war and obsolete megaweapons
no longer assert power control populations achieve goals

have convinced me
time to unite moderate left & moderate right
the liberals & the libertarians
the independents and alienateds
as a conserving consensus to end STATE-ism
(Statist Totalitarian Authoritarian Triumphalist Elitism)
waging unilateral preemptive perpetual wars
on a world that can no longer be controlled by force
as people begin to notice that obama elected is still trapped
in the same failing war economy that we fell into in 1960-61
(hear Ike's speech on military industrial complex 50 years ago!)

don't mess with it
who will explain our non-existence?
some ruminations from a groovological perspective
and a borrowed "ignorance based knowledge" world view.
(thanks to Wes Jackson & Wendell Berry)
dedicated to Sun Ra & "The Immeasurable Equation"
from WAITAWHILE press
We may not be here next week!
what if the final experiment that finally explains
"matter dominance in the universe"
is the experiment that undoes "matter dominance"?
light not reaching the human race in time
and we may take the 300 million year old horseshoe crab with us
plus 8 to 30 million other species
"In a mathematically perfect universe,
we would be less than dead;"
reporter Dennis (overbite) Overbye
isn't this a good reason not to "do the math" perfectly?
or is it dennis Over-bye-bye? can we trust the messenger?
all this striving for perfection
& a unified theory of everything
could obliterate us on the day we get it,
"get it right," "get everything tight"
get to know everything God only knows
wow! outtasight!!
anybody a bit worried about the humor, irony, timing of experiment?
you know, the latest experiment? next experiment? last experiment?
"A collider gives matter a small edge over antimatter"
sez times little headline
tucked away on page A17 after A1
"Why Are We Here? Let's Just Thank Our Lucky Muons We Are"
so just How small is that edge? who has the measuring stick?
could the edge be much smaller than we think?
could we be at the brink?
this could be the biggest apple bite ever?
just a wee bit more knowledge about the edge of the edge?
do any of the famous hedge funds have a hedge against "the edge"?
"This result may provide an important input for explaining
the matter dominance in our universe," Guennadi Borissov. . .
said Friday in a talk at Fermilab, in Batavia, Ill. . . . .
Maria Spiropulu of CERN and the California Institute of Technology
called the results "very impressive and inexplicable."
supposedly it all comes down to Sakharov's "CP violation"
"when the charges and directions of particles are reversed,
they should behave slightly differently"
How slightly is slight?
Are we about to reverse the big bang in a big pooooof?
Is this "slight difference" that may make a "big differernce"
the reason we don't find intelligent life anywhere else
in this very particular big bang'd universe?
Or the reason we do find inexplicable "black holes" or "dark matter"?

Hi Ted,
Much appreciate your running commentary on the "lucky Muons" reporting. I don't believe in "progress" or in "science" always leading us to better technologies, etc. very skeptical and alarmed by bioengineers performing "the next needed experiment." Ditto for "Large Hadron Collider" and whatever CERN stands for.
What do the initials stand for?
Is the "the next right thing to do" for physicists, the next right thing for the rest of us?
Any discussions inside or outside the DZero team about the dangers of "imploding" or "tilting," or causing another "Great Annihilation" or a human caused "poof" that reverses the big bang or puts a "dent" or "hole" in our corner of the expanding Universe?
If the CP violations are "slight" an "edge" a tiny "discrepancy" isn't it dangerous to do more than observe Nature ever more closely and THINK about our quest for the Perfect theory?
What if "God" or "Evolution of life" or "The Universe" hinges on something like "imperfection"/"mutation" or what a MacArthur Fellow friend calls (in relation to the "the participatory discrepancies" of musicking) "the necessary slippage"?
Just for the record, I'm for a moratorium on big collisions in physics for this century, or until the atomic bomb can be "recalled", a 20 year moratorium on releasing any more manmade chemicals into the environment, a permanent moratorium on releasing bioengineered organisms into Nature, etc.
Are you "for" any of this? If not, why not?
Or what about trying to build some kind of fire wall between experimental science and technology? Let observational science catch up and fully evaluate the damage that has already been done.
some ruminations from a groovological perspective
and a borrowed "ignorance based knowledge" world view.

We may not be here next week!
what if the final experiment that finally explains
"matter dominance in the universe"
is the experiment that undoes "matter dominance"?
light not reaching the human race in time
and we may take the 300 million year old horseshoe crab with us
plus 8 to 30 million other species
"In a mathematically perfect universe,
we would be less than dead;"
reporter Dennis (overbite) Overbye
isn't this a good reason not to "do the math" perfectly?
or is it dennis Over-bye-bye? can we trust the messenger?
all this striving for perfection
& a unified theory of everything
could obliterate us on the day we get it,
"get it right," "get everything tight"
get to know everything God only knows
wow! outtasight!!
anybody a bit worried about the humor, irony, timing of experiment?
you know, the latest experiment? next experiment? last experiment?
"A collider gives matter a small edge over antimatter"
sez times little headline
tucked away on page A17 after A1
"Why Are We Here? Let's Just Thank Our Lucky Muons We Are"
so just How small is that edge? who has the measuring stick?
could the edge be much smaller than we think?
could we be at the brink?
this could be the biggest apple bite ever?
just a wee bit more knowledge about the edge of the edge?
do any of the famous hedge funds have a hedge against "the edge"?
"This result may provide an important input for explaining
the matter dominance in our universe," Guennadi Borissov. . .
said Friday in a talk at Fermilab, in Batavia, Ill. . . . .
Maria Spiropulu of CERN and the California Institute of Technology
called the results "very impressive and inexplicable."
supposedly it all comes down to Sakharov's "CP violation"
"when the charges and directions of particles are reversed,
they should behave slightly differently"
How slightly is slight?
Are we about to reverse the big bang in a big pooooof?
Is this "slight difference" that may make a "big differernce"
the reason we don't find intelligent life anywhere else
in this very particular big bang'd universe?
Or the reason we do find inexplicable "black holes" or "dark matter"?
Will it be any consolation that Geneva, Switzerland
may disappear first, a micro second before we do?

libertarians in denial
Dear John Tate,
in reply to Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty May 4, 2010 letter
you guys must do much much better
denial of fascism, denial of corpstate partnership,
denying tight corporate control of both parties
denying that "free market" lobbyists write these laws
denying the money to be made off Cap and Trade
or any other rip off of the taxpayers
you deny your own sanity, your reason,
your awareness of the season
& how the big corpstate operates
denial of climate change as most urgent issue
an even worse make-believe "for Liberty"
free to fry? free to flood? free to slide under the mud?
nuthin in your 6 page letter addresses fascism-as-it-is
nuthin abt military-industrial-complex as last-biz-there-is
nuthin about bringing ALL troops home to plant trees
sequester carbon heal Mother Earth feel fresh breeze

the famous Mother's day call
for a peace process
and the common GOOD (Global Organization Of Democracies)
"In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality
May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And at the earliest period consistent with its objects,
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace."
why don't wise women of the small and tested democracies
send one delegate from each accountable country
to talk peace, justice, ecological balance
for a few hours each day in assembly
365 days a year until we achieve
peace, justice, ecological balance
soon we would know all the ways the UN has failed us
and what is to be done

from a letter by 100 scientists
(i) The planet is warming due to increased concentrations of heat-trapping gases in our atmosphere. A snowy winter in Washington does not alter this fact.
(ii) Most of the increase in the concentration of these gases over the last century is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
(iii) Natural causes always play a role in changing Earth's climate, but are now being overwhelmed by human-induced changes.
(iv) Warming the planet will cause many other climatic patterns to change at speeds unprecedented in modern times, including increasing rates of sea-level rise and alterations in the hydrologic cycle. Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide are making the oceans more acidic.
(v) The combination of these complex climate changes threatens coastal communities and cities, our food and water supplies, marine and freshwater ecosystems, forests, high mountain environments, and far more.

weapons of mass destruction are tiny

ten palin haiku - vote now
17 syllables to deplore
discovery's eye sore
"Red drops on white snow
A thousand howling deaths reaps
A million dollars"
Edited to:
Red blood on white snow
A thousand howling deaths reap
A million dollars
much better
"deaths reaps" is awful
blood stronger than "drops"
the last haiku on the list
as good as the one I voted for
should have used "instant run off voting"
get people used to it
3 haiku better than one
Friends of the Earth
can you get together with 1 Sky and 350
ask people to form a deeply conserving
far right T for Transition Party?
a 7th Generation Party?
a long term future for speciation party?
a deep ecology party calling for
fiscal responsibility
balanced budgets
get rid of Federal Income Tax
super simple 3 flat taxes for rich, not so rich
the poor too can participate
phase out War Dept. 10% a year
phase in a tiny budget super-efficient Peace Dept.
costs 1% of so-called "Defense Budget"
accomplishes much, much, more homeland security
moves us steadily
toward a sustainable
joyous

cosmic humility had eliminated fear
multisyllabic long lines became shorter in short order
peace epic rhythms suffused each song
rains arrived in time for all in sundry
pressures were relieved at all the borders
grand T party for Transition
popped up on many lips at once
live and let live take it easy
"turn the pigeons loose" in all fonts

missing subjects
Dear Ron Paul,
Peace is the subject of my message.
Eco-balance is next on my list.
Great-great-grandchildren unto the 7th generation
should be at the top of your list.
Followed by Peace.
And Eco-balance.
Why is your list
missing the most
important subjects
when you and I think alike
about the Constitution?
I know, "bring ALL the troops home"
is about minding our own business.
But it is also about peace and eco-balance
and a sustainable future for our 7th generation
because those troops abroad need to be brought home today
to plant trees for tomorrow.
Peach trees.
Pear trees.
Quince and apple.
Citrus trees in the gulf coast district.
Permaculture trees appropriate
to each of the 435 districts.
Best wishes and many thanks
for your leadership on many issues.
Wish you had come up with the courage
to join Kucinich in impeaching Bush/Cheynie
for their many crimes against the Constitution
and humanity.

German Easter 1524
reading engels on war, "The Peasant War in Germany"
the peasants form troops and make reasonable demands
the peasants are betrayed by various allies in different ways
the peasants burn castles and monasteries
the princes of secular power slaughter the peasants
page after page of beheadings, roastings and impalings
eat your roasted leaders or die is one ultimatum to a throng
and so it goes thru the early 1500s and on into 17th century
dark ages before darker ages after but marx and engels trudge
the road of unhappy destinies finding a thread of "progress"
"Who profited by the Revolution of 1525? The princes.
Who profited by the Revolution of 1848? The big princes,
Austria and Prussia. Behind the princes of 1525
there stood the lower middle-class of the cities,
held chained by means of taxation.
Behind the big princes of 1850,
there stood the modern big bourgeoisie,
quickly subjugating them by means of the state debt.
Behind the big bourgeoisie stand the proletarians."
who stands by me for peace & eco-balance in 2010?
not the artist formerly known as prince
not the lumpenproles and lumpenbourgies
not the lieutenant class or the sargents at arms
not the intermediate lackey sector
everyone is kept running, running, running

but not too busy to think about taxes and state debt

slow politics of great reskilling
steady urgency of moving to groove
'Art begins where the wee bit begins,'
replied Bryulov, indicating with these words
just what is most characteristic of art.
The remark is true of all the arts,
but its justice is particularly noticeable
in the performance of music. from Tolstoy in What is Art?
In terms of The Great Transition
to sustainable echo-living in localities
the joyous science of Groovology
has many processes to explore
disciplines to integrate
many false tech fixes to deplore
and one important strategic goal to accomplish
helping infants, toddlers, children everywhere
to take such delight in performance
that they can't be pacified
can't be dumbed down into hive mind

how does condensed synchronicity serve?
"Why does it not dawn in Bolivia

"Por que no amanece en Bolivia
desde la noche de Guevara?"
are questions the same as preguntas?
"IS there an ecological unconscious?"
does dirty coal mining in Australia

do poetree queries seek prosaic answers?
why do GOOOHie questions seem so right

can The Great Transition do the right asks?

Open Letter to Kucinich for T Party
Grand T Party (GTP) for Sustainable Economy
Anyone who thinks growth of human population, human technologies, and human pride can go on forever in a finite world is a madman and a specialist.
mc k9's variation on economist Kenneth Boulding's statement that opens The Great Transition book
Dear Dennis Kucinich,
time for still another overview of humanity's situation
time to think boldly about DK and Ron Paul y'all
Ron has more supporters coming on board
so make an alliance for T(ransition) Party arrival this fall
just a few of the 60 or so peace-minded liberals
make many concessions to 5 or 6 reps on libertarian right
in order to UNITE firmly on the need to:
end imperialism
restore the Constitution
keep the federal budget both balanced and shrinking
bring all the troops home
cut the war budget 10 to 15% each year

send single payer health insurance to the 50 states
or reduce medicare payments as we extend minimum medicare

common sense land reforms that make possible
steady increase in number of small family farms

"progressives" can't define, much less create
"progress" since borrowing topsoil from conquered "neighbors"

atomic bombs and atomic energy progress????
DK, i've been asking you for many years now
to give up the "progress" growth development myths

save our species, and many others, from extinction
NOW! Not tomorrow. NOW!!

PS #1
this proposal has the added bonus
splitting the Republican party
& hopefully destroying the fascist portion of it
the Transition Party or "T party", for short,
GTP will replace the GOP gradually or swiftly
in many predominantly rural states
and our foreign policy
will finally shift toward peace making
a grateful world will continue to buy
some of our 'transition to sustainability' bonds
we can solve all our real problems by decentralizing
increasing genuine democracy
PS #2
libertarian socialism has never been tried
must be local can't be national or 'nazi'
anything "too big to fail" will fail eventually
PS #3
ask Ron Paul's office to propose a Peace Department
in 250 words or less
PS #4
propose an Eco-Balance Department in same spirit
250 words or less
Anyone who thinks growth of human population, human technologies, and human pride can go on forever in a finite world is a madman and a specialist.
mc k9's variation on economist Kenneth Boulding's statement that opens The Great Transition book
Dear Dennis Kucinich,
time for still another overview of humanity's situation
time to think boldly about DK and Ron Paul y'all
Ron has more supporters coming on board
so make an alliance for T(ransition) Party arrival this fall
just a few of the 60 or so peace-minded liberals
make many concessions to 5 or 6 reps on libertarian right
in order to UNITE firmly on the need to:
end imperialism
restore the Constitution
keep the federal budget both balanced and shrinking
bring all the troops home
cut the war budget 10 to 15% each year
phase out the military industrial corpstate complex
in all 50 states fairly, steadily, evenly
use the 30 hour week to employ everyone who wants to work
help citizens shape the local eco-businesses of a free market
(the only free market is a local sustainable market

true conservers conserve
True Conservers Conserve in 21st Century
from an anarchist=libertarian=decentralist=ecological perspective
"government that governs least governs best"
the historical political spectrum has always revealed
a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian right (20th century fascism)
a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian left (20th century communism)
both of which have been delusional, destructive and deadly
in relation to both humanity and Nature
both statist left and statist right have been hell bent upon militarism
power, control, using different delusional/ideological frameworks
to achieve the same power-over, control, domination goals
nowadays militarism, war and obsolete megaweapons
no longer assert power, control populations, achieve policy goals
no matter how worthy, or unworthy, they may be
radicle ("rooted") decentralization and conserving consensus
locally and bio-regionally
are the only paths any rational citizen can take
toward peace, the common GOOD, eco-balance
common decency
daddy bush's iraq war
clinton's iraq war
shrub's iraq war
obama's iraq war
a million dead inside iraq
our economy on the rocks
have convinced me
time to unite moderate left & moderate right
the liberals & the libertarians
the independents and alienateds
as a conserving consensus to end STATE-ism
(Statist Totalitarian Authoritarian Triumphalist Elitism)
waging unilateral, preemptive, perpetual wars
on a world that can no longer be controlled by force
as people begin to notice that obama elected is still trapped
in the same failing war economy that we fell into in 1960-61
(Ike's speech on the miilitary industrial complex 50 years ago)
all the rip van winkles will be invited to wake up

super-rich won't save us
here's why we must think hard about war -- think frequently and deeper
force turns men into things and then -- distorts things further
it's not just ignominious death -- face down in mud or sand
it is the threat of paralysis, disfigurement, p t s d, endless skin grafts
the taste of perpetual disgust in every dry mouth & tons of thickness
tons of dispair tons of rotting fish in oceans and rotting flesh on land
smell of 6 billion malnutritioned is why we don't live near each other
the fear of brain damage to children on all five continents infects
clings grieves-us-constantly blites blisters spreads the fungus
war killed so many millions in previous priviliged century of democide
fungacide pesticide weedocide genocide whose side are you on forgotten
"the person" becomes 'thing' indeed -- piece of shit on a corpstate stick
covers full of celebs gaining and losing weight at supermarket checkouts
all those papers meant to keep your mind off war, war dead, war maimed,
war orphans, war whores, ignore war debasing all decent human feelings?
what's all this war for: warren buffet,jimmy buffet,jack buffet,jill buffet
prounounced shmorgasborg of billionaires who turd like the rest of us & r
tired, drooping, shit-faced -- crumpled trump, rupertmurdock, sourpusses

very very post-nuclear-madness
we be so ready for great transition
pray that ralph undertakes the mission

my nose is my no myass is myass
i'm a simple man by Nature (igbo calypso hi-life)
the kings of pop morphed into corpstate & OD'd
whereass james invented genres of generosity
james acknowledged his collaborators constantly
pleaded with them to be taken to the bridge
godfather came out from under the cloak
threw down the microphone & bounced it -- no joke
jb had good hair & teeth & rules

the great Transition needs resequencings and repetitions for USA
the great Reskilling puts the jubilation of our children first - HEY!
the great Localisation means do it now, call a neighbor - SAY. . . ? . . . . . !
the great InterdependAnce local Steps to Echology of Mind - HOORAY!
the great Economic Irrigation means giving berkshares away - TODAY!
the great Revaluing asks U what's the next rite step on ur MIDDLE WAY?
the great Rebalancing finds many delicate scales that really WEIGH!
the great Redistribution of local sociableness delivered by one horse sleigh. . . .

Homo sap sap way too technococooned
groovology as life-affirming joyous science
synthesizes, observes ongoing processes closely
[not dismal, analyzing, taking apart, vivisecting]
& the worldhear of it, the wholistic encompassing
inclusion and expansiveness may put people off
alienate rather than elicit participation
the hole tendency toward poetry may frighten people
will there be 'kool-aide' at the end of mck9's ceremony?
hell no! we're putting joy first flashing absolute bodicheatcha
maybe there are as many grooves as vibes, as discrepancies
any two vibes rubbing against each other may have a groove
could evolution (or mojo's elvislution) be a megagroove?
if all mutating species co-adapting co-evolving r us in synch
but only slightly out of phase kud Humo ludens collaboratus hear it?

let us do lettuce for less
"A one-pound box of prewashed lettuce
contains 80 calories of food energy.
According to Cornell ecologist D. Pimental
growing, chilling, washing, packaging, and
transporting that box of organic salad
to a plate on the East Coast takes more than
4,600 calories of fossil fuel energy
or 57 calories of fossil fuel energy
for every calorie of food."
footnote page xvi in Slow Money by Woody Tasch
borrowed from Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilema
'crawling for congress' gets a laugh
'creeping' seems too creepy
'strolling' has elements of calm and dignity
slow politics encompasses all three
slow money ='s local money
local money for local lettuce
cuts out 4,600 calories of middlemen
and a plastic boxed 'commodity fetish'
contains 80 calories of food energy.

Dr. Bill Keepin 1992
[these are Keepin's words from a speech
rearranged to look like a poem]
renewable technologies for a sustainable energy future
on the context of renewable energy development
Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh has said:
"What we most need to do is to hear within ourselves
the sounds of the earth crying"
it becomes clear
that what we label as a crisis in our environment
is equally as much a crisis within ourselves
a crisis of human consciousness and values
there are several dimensions to this that actually serve
as hidden driving forces for the ecological crisis:
one is the psychological pollution
continual bombardment of corporate advertising
and the consumer culture
another is the dominance by an hegemony
the masculine gender
& related problems of class and racial oppression
a third is the epistemological tyranny of western science
and market economics
finally
the spiritual bankruptcy of secular technological modernism
if we ignore these aspects of our current dilemma
then the solar technologies that I have outlined
could actually serve to hasten ecological collapse
because energy would be removed as a constraint
on a forward stampede
if we embrace these deeper dimensions
accounting for their physical
social
cultural
spiritual implications
then solar energy and renewable sources
can provide abundant energy for all human societies
on earth
and free us once and forever
from the ravages of fossil fuels and nuclear power

local reskilling for interdependance
"The Great Reskilling" (#5 of N=7 Great Transition themes)
seems deadly serious with killing inside but we hear rescue too
& recognition of blake's hands & fingers feeling grains, eternal sands
feeling rebirth of four fold vision seared & obliterated by satanic mills
great themes of Reskilling, Localization, and Interdependence
(#5, #4, & #7) ad up to 16 Buddhist "middle ways" of right action
can be taken up immediately by any small but dedicated group
anywhere people looking for jobs, useful work, well spent 20 hr week
"local reskilling for interdependance" as a slogan here in USA
can be picked up instantly by energetic teapartiers by green anarchists
by formerly enraged resenters, but now engaged Buddhists
by quaker/shaker revivalists quietest for centuries stomping blues again
by saliant ecostarians by ANY little group that wants to place a modest bet
on the joyous sustainable future NOW -- & seven generations out!

why does divinity of animals seem strange to us?

teapartiers resisting d.c.
poet loose in the polis tighter in the potemkin exurbia
wishes to persuade tea partiers to follow paul y'all
bring home all the troops now for reforesting
don't buy chinese chotchkas at the mall
poet lusts for clean energy and clean production
made right here for righteous rightists in u s a
can we make ethanol without using fossil fuels
kicking alien ass in foreign countries is not 'the way'
poet can barely practice some of what he preaches
follows ruskin's 'ban the bomb' & 'let's plant peaches'
this year i hope i can help one peach to grow
more tea partiers resisting d.c. can make peace flow
wishes to persuade tea partiers to follow paul y'all
bring home all the troops now for reforesting
don't buy chinese chotchkas at the mall
poet lusts for clean energy and clean production
made right here for righteous rightists in u s a
can we make ethanol without using fossil fuels
kicking alien ass in foreign countries is not 'the way'
poet can barely practice some of what he preaches
follows ruskin's 'ban the bomb' & 'let's plant peaches'
this year i hope i can help one peach to grow
more tea partiers resisting d.c. can make peace flow

humbling not humiliating
creeping for congress
crawling to redress a few grievances
(like the recumbent ignoring his oath)
bringing up the tempo to a steady stroll
suddenly i'm on a roll on a roll on a roll
may never find my way into copper canyon
with "slow politics #1" or "slower politics #2"
but what's a rhyme & rhythm guy
to do? jam on enjambments just
so, you know?
best political part of cop can catalogue
as reader is where each poet gets a
sentence to say why they bother doing it
"That moment, that heady feeling you get when
you think you've done something good -- even if
it later turns out not to be good. That's what
keeps me writing."

why war in afganistan?
98 to 0 Senate vote
402 to 1 in House
herd mentality
Barbara Lee the only rep
with heart and spine
& a pulsatile brain
wait, about 30 reps absentee?
no need for more terrorism
we follow their plan step by step
they bleed us dry
no need to lift a finger
we kill ourselves on cue
military industrial simplex
is all we know how to do

The Great Transition
Great Return to Family Values

time for the great transition
why we need a great transition
the nef book says:
climate change
peak oil
ecosystem pressure
the trends:
loss of wetlands
loss of mangrove areas
loss of coral reefs
loss of fresh water
loss of forests
loss of fisheries
loss of species
at 100 to 1000 times the normal rate
seven solutions:
the great revaluing
the great redistribution
the great rebalancing
the great localization
the great reskilling
the great economic irrigation
the great interdependence

102 posts
reviewing gandhi's life & malcolm's many failures and mistakes
but satyagraha & ahimsa seem intensely practical after breaks
each crawler for congress each creeper each slow stroller
will discover a convergence in real life and in this hive
bring forth ever greater reverence for species still alive
102 posts along the way there toward the hip mahatma's dream
perhaps it's time to sift labels -- what bears repeating?
humility
Human Nature
peace cost effective
peace-play
peacemakers
action attraction
always for pleasure
Humo ludens collaboratus
being is knowing
back to basics
gut bacteria
food not bombs
cattalactics
children's joy
diversity
declaration of interdependence
GOOD ='s Global Organization Of Democracies
echology
eco-balance
zest
slow politics

lizzie lou was a bit upset
when i imagined the women's promenade as a ruin
the stonehingieness of the entryway
the Arch of Wife that bumped off hubby
contexted by cacti --- cracks between the bricks
-- filled with desert lichens
but many more structures could be built to last
& to look good & feel good ruin'd
if the whole campus will be returned to Nature
eventually or become a last oasis
in a vastly expanded Sonora
how do we want it to look
feel
be of service in 3050

diggers, levellers, ranters, ravers
diggers levellers ranters ravers
tuba calls out to planet savers
god is good! ALL the time!!
every soul filled with rhythm n rhyme
levellers were once revellers
revelling in revelations
now levellers are mediations
tv, ipod, mp3, neutering computering
vidka shot after shot
"i'm tore down
i'm almost level with the ground
i feel like this
when my techno-gizmo can't be found"
variation on freddie king's blues

corpstate no mere noun
it may be argued that "corpstate" is not a word in the english lingo
but just as the 9th amendment asks us not to deny or disparage rights
unwritten into the constitution i would ask you to consider a truth
a "legal" truth that corporations now are "persons" of great wealth
great power who are merged with "uncle sam" in one corpstate family

tolstoy on art
art is infectious & contagious
pulled in by mona lisa's smile
each painting has a hook a pull
an attraction or it misses by a mile
were you pulled in recently
when was the last time you felt hooked
a song did it a single word
or it didn't unfinished book
mystery of participation now rare
is there any there there anywhere
50 million youtube the hippie hugger
maybe he has one more hug to spare

"Whatever you meet unexpectedly, join with meditation."
from Pema Chodron's Start Where You Are
but if where you are is 8 to 18 tween to teen
and 10 hours and 45 minutes a day average is media
4+ TV, 2+ iPod/MP3, 1+ computer, 1+ vidka games
comes to 7 hours of TV and iPod/MP3 alone
7 hours of false-meditation
7 hours of non-sports action
7 hours of not musicking, not dramatizing,
7 hours not expressing, not drumming, not dancing,
7 hours of technococooning
7 hours away from body-in-society, interaction
7 hours of NON-participation
7 hours of socially approved addictions
7 hours of absurd "normality"
and then the 2+ hours approaching 3 of computer
and vidka on average on average on average
but some kids "binge" on one or the other
and no one knows the consequences
is anything unexpected, mind-stopping,
mind-opening when you control the machine
push the button, click the mouse,
and are fed still more alienated non-experience
is there anything there to "join with meditation"
no need for "?"
no need for speculation
machines can now meet our every expectation

bless snakes spiders bats
World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor - it requires only that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
should have grabbed the quote from the hip mahatma
about starting with the children if you want peace
the international criminal court just getting started
no GOOD (Global Organization Of Democracies) to go to
the UN has never tried to stop a genocide in progress
a common GOOD aspiration is never in the headlines
still jfk has a point about mutual tolerance
that only needs expanding to the speciation
don't have to love spiders, snakes & bats as i do
just realize that they keep us alive
100k species of spiders, 932 species of bats
blessing snakes unawares still our best bet

do one a day for mindness, motricity and well being
National Accounts of Well-being:
bringing real wealth onto the balance sheet
economics as if people and the planet mattered
cover of nef report a pile of cherries
other fruits in a blurry background
in figure 6 tom shalamun's slovenia
is so often right at the golden mean
very in-between denmark top & ukraine bottom
for "reliance & self-esteem" or "positive functioning"
the "Well-being Profiles for all countries" in Figure 8
appear as little spider webs on the page
slovenia's data show the tightest median pattern
evidence, perhaps, of the silk umbrella man's insight
"slovenians are easily pleased"
since the day louis bushell laid that observation on us
my wife and i have tried to be more slovenian
more median milwaukee wisconsin in all our affairs

another sonette solution
republicans know only perpetual war of terror
and total corpstate waste
democrats try hard to destroy the world with progress
growth, development & 'good taste'
this leaves a huge gaping whole
where healthy conserving ought to be
an emptiness filled with passives and bewilderds
trying to find a place
libertarian socialism of the jazz band
the working paradigm of nola's 2nd line
Declaration of In(ter)depenDance
is something for each body to define
tuba mira contains the poems & slogans
spargens sonum is our design

no more free speech in usa
killed all the milkers N = 51
and then himself when he was done
no one dares speculate in the press
can't get it out of my mind & don't dare guess
each loss of a family farm =s loss of a farmer
how many gone and no amendment to the Constitution
some say we need 50 million farmers in usa today
for local food healthy food fresh, new kinds of hay
perennial grains perennial greens permaculture cred
a society that respects honest work
mourns the corpstate dead

support your local thinkthank
a strong interest in prioritizing
1) eco-balance
2) peace-play
3) the full and free expression of young children as dancers
drummers poets singers cartoonists instrument players
mimes sculptors comedians dramatizers
Wanted: people who will "crawl for Congress" as candidates
in all 435 Congressional districts for 12 to 20 minutes a day
as 7th generation paleocons with the above priorities
immediate goals and action
cultivating the free and full expression of children
comes first because it is deeply satisfying
and the peace movement is small elderly
needs many young people who are fully alive
not technococooned
not alienated
not addicted
not passive consumers
a large and lively peace movement
diverting resources
from stewpit counterproductive wasteful wars
to ecological problem solving
will make radicle (rooted) decentralism
Jeffersonian yeoman farming communities
free states
retribalization
participatory democracy & sociable socialism
local music & dance traditions
possible and sustainable now
& for the 7th generation
& beyond
peace ecological balance children @ play
homo ludens collaboratus (r species being) the American way
this is the mom the libertarian apple pie has been missing
Old Mothernature OMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm
so simple -- "mom & apple pie" the very pie mother mary
imagined eve cooking up for her man adam full of know-how
modest nourishing reality-as-it-is-Nature feeds us every day
in every way no more no less, enuf for life -- free of stuffff

a poem leaves abstractions
a poem leaves abstractions in its wake
blessed be the bridges of waldrep and resistant bees raptured
a poem drops the red blood dot out of the blue sky into the blue sea
bring on the International Society of Ecology & Culture
a poem discards unneccessarries of vagueness
for chinese street sweepers to pick up every salaried day
a poem insists on species specifics & multiple modes of being
blessed be the poet shopper of pomegranates at walmart
a poem must blend grand abstractions with the minute particulars
or we will die of computerized hyperdata, suprainformed,
plastificated, underactuarialized, premortified, ultrainundated, simulacrafied, ubermasticated, etc. etc.
