CONTEMPORARY CLICHES 101

ARISTOTLE 101
I do believe we are evolving
via shock and awe to BP spills
forced to refine our behavior
so plants and animals might survive
and thrive on this multi-species globe
This is a closed system.Teleology demands
consciousness at all levels
leading to philosopher-Queens smarter than bombs
who do more than lay down their life for their families
They pave new ways via example for peaceful co-existences
Look in the ruins of modern cities!
Permaculture farms and community gardens
Volunteerism and heroic examples.The only way we can live
is with each other -gentle as lovers,softer than friends
able to forgive because we dare not forget

WOODSTOCK 2010
Hippie commune as Temporary Autonomous Zone-
wherein and whereby we gather discrete as particles
each with private withdrawal space/so that each
might remain the center of their own autonomy.
Open mikes and Community Festivals
diluting toxic fears with non-chemical smiles
adding to each the All.Atman Universal.
So we might replace the "i"that blinds
us to multivalent possibilities inherent within
this tiny spinning island that we must live within

ENDINGS ?-or beginnings?
We all know one who slipped across teh borders
whether to leave his body suit down by the river
or zip angel winged into Forevers.Their endings continue\
to haunt us with the possibilities of consciousness-
they may be gone but grains of their sand
lodge in the beach of our burials.
Whether or not we return or remember
it is what we do in this moment now
determines what happens in the next...
