these truncated lines

7/25/2016

 
these truncated lines
are built with the spines
of words meant to stand
in the liberated land
between your ears
beyond your fears
through your tears
can you hear?
a call to More
than the media's roar?
if we only read what was
rather than write what can be
who really controls
our destiny?
not a blue, or a red
a cop, thug, or fed
your future is YOURS,
made with the thoughts
in your head.
the thoughts in your head;
what are they making?
are they carrying their weight?
or are they just taking
up precious space
behind your face,
causing you worry,
and hiding real grace?
they are ABLE
to change material circumstance
without the old school song and dance.
so would you try, and take a chance
on envisioning more beauty,
don't just count dead bodies.
makers ain't morticians. 
we don't embalm.
we psalm.
we bomb
with words
written in a certain way
to change the direction
of co-opted ways.

Dear Erika, I am trying to contact you because i am coming to Acapulco 3 Jan. I need suggestion where i can land (hotel?) for the first few days. I am staying for the Anarcapulco 2017 event and even after, returning to Paris 28 March. I am thinking to move to Mexico. I am American expat for 20 years but even France is becoming very military. I loved your interview with Jeff. And i was very pleased to learn about Lucious Listening. I listen for a crisis hotline here in Paris called SOS Help. It's for anglophones. maybe you can write me a note? Or Skype could be great so we can call free. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you in Acapulco. Kathleen St. Clare

    The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

    ​But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

    Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

    (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

    The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." 

    This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

    And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

    For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth.
