recover

material goods

each of us has a feeling

a set experiences

how did provenance get us here

where are we going

with our desire to mean

when we face a consequence

what do we- individually-

seek to understand

shaping the environment

the world slips by our hand

to what end

we will live in the aftermath

the past will seem like a plan

why should we take 2nd place

who of us will lead a better

race



subjective objectivity

the feelings of the thing

each of us has them

even the dollar the plate of glass

the car the shirt the mask

even the sky the earth the air

we all possess feelings we cannot

share



holding something responsible for what they did not do

is racism

thinking you understand the experiences on another

is racism

making abusive predictions toward a peaceful future

is racism

parsing private emotions in the bodies of others

is racism



to whom it may concern

so long you held the body of the perpetrator within

please clean and heal even in your current state

hold tight to self make real your self 

recover

fluttering ethic

fluttering ethic
what can you agree
joy and memories
goals for attitude
what gets let in
what won't fly

the feelings we possess
made of many hormones 
endocrine messages
what stimulates you
what are you made of

your body-heat's position
close or at mind's length
create the reality around us
we don't want defense

in each other's space
and at culture's pace
respect physical energy
keep material clean
is what's best

what do you think about
the world its changing
we make our choices
as the butterfly wing
arranges

build back

as the economy dips shall we think of how it will build back?
this is a time like no other that we can consider if our ethics 
are being met when it comes to:
materials and energy sources used,
compensation and conditions,
ingredients and packaging,
content and meaning,
 attitude and access.
think local, act global.
behave according to goals.
