Those nipples, omg

no where is safe

If I leave a message
and they don't get back
I figure they're doing something
and that's what I learn they were doing
something, nothing to do with me

If the purpose of art is to draw out our emotion
the natural world is the greatest art
----------
The natural world is my wife
and I serve her as I can
and serve all wives
in the same service

I find it amusing
being surrounded by life
that doesn't care about me at all
makes me care about it all
-----------
When we're allowed to relax a while
we start thinking about stuff
so we're not allowed to relax
It's in the playbook
written in hell

Helping others helps ourselves
Cements our place in evolution
no matter how small the place
----------
Lazy Boy
I love sprawling in the woods
maybe taking a little nap
knowing the clock keeps ticking
and I don't have to wind it

You know you're in for a real shitty time
when critical thinking is a threat
to the status quo
Seems like it's been a shitty time
for a long time
long before my time
----------
Returning equal energy
is the quid pro quo
of successful relationships

Men who won't have cats are a red flag!
Die alone with a cat and a dog
The cat will eat you when it gets hungry
The dog will eat everything in the house it can
including the cat, before it eats you.
Red flag my ass

The most beautiful creations
on this sweet planet
care not for us
They have no need
of anything we can offer
but our separation

A strongbreezy perfect fall day
Falling leaves and butterflies
travel in the same place
they look a bit like each other
maybe more than a bit
-----
The bigger the brain
the more complications present themselves
Incorporating complexity
makes the brain bigger
It's win win, heading to infinity

The rich have always shit on the poor
and always will
til we see money for what it is
a tool to enrich the lives of humans
and everything around them
------
It's a simple concept to understand
That's why all this money and effort
is spent attacking it
------
Wealth unshared always turns evil

I'm not jealous of the wealthy
but I do want to take all their money
and give it to people with less than I
-------
In the Garden of Eden
Eve and Adam nourished themselves
on the garden's bounty, played games, talked
and had lots of sex
When can we start getting back to that?

There's nothing like standing
half way to one's knees
in warm, soft, summer creekbed mud
or moving bareskin through expired summer flowers
covered in warm, soft fall leaves

Beyond US citizens
getting a taste of what their govt
has been doing in other countries
for a long time
nothing much has changed
Yesterday's shitshow
is today's shitshow
is tomorrow's shitshow
with a few more in the front row

I feel my limit of human interaction
Discussing the service
as the train plunges into the gorge
has a deleterious effect
on my digestion
---------
The world's misery hangs in my head
like storm clouds on every horizon
--------
the weather's fine here
but only here

Scientists love disproving a theory
That's why I listen to more accurate descriptions
Imagine disparaging such mental olympics
Deporting the gold medals
Welcoming cowardice

With dogs
it's better for them
doing their thing
far from me
like any other smart animal
I can think of
----------
My gravel and sandy dirt dancefloor
remains basically the same
with differing sharp points of interest

If money's the prize
why are the winners so awful?

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

like a speeding pulse and panting breath

Through my assiduous inactivity
I take credit for everything wild
that grows in the yard
and full pleasure in the credit
---------
So often with us
simple is the hardest to achieve
---------
Bare legs against dog claws in play
means I'm the one who bleeds

I think everyone has evil in them
some step on it
some feed it
but it's always there
waiting for our next move
----------
It's not all about food and sex
but it's a lot about food and sex
If you're starving for either
it's harder to think about other things

The primary purpose of mass media
is division and fear
Crime has gone down
pretty steadily for decades
but very few will say
it's safer now for kids
to be outside, unsupervised
then when I was told
to go out and play
with no supervision whatsoever

The effect of the natural world
is insidious and permanent
--------
A fairly long stretch of my youth
was spent looking at trees
vis-à-vis their climability
Kids can assess risk factors
The more autonomous they are
the quicker the assessment

In the summer I hide my skin from the sun
In the winter I raise my face to it
---------
You know you're in the woods
when your playground gets more sun
when the leaves drop
---------
Fall is when small animals moving
through the dead leaves
make noise all out of proportion
to their size

"That'll do"
or just a nod
from a proven expert in the field
is worth more than a million followers
---------
I don't blame the spider or snake
for being venomous
I adapt in the presence of seniority
A fair evaluation of our fittedness
