Tao te Ching Verse #17
The best leaders are barely known to their people
They act with faith, trust, and use carefully chosen
words
When their work is done, people say, “we did it
ourselves!”
My response:
Loneliness is a hole inside. An inner well that if
one falls into, the falling never ends,
there is no bottom. That is depression. Looking
inside, but without a light. Staring at
shadows and believing they are real...
) ( *
I finished an unpublished rough draft, Tao and the Art of Drowning, focusing on the question, “What does
it mean to live in a fragile
temporary human body?” And now am working
on another book project, Oath based on the question,
"How can genocide be prevented?", which I am now realizing is the wrong question.
"What is
the connection between personal violence and global violence and how can violence be prevented or at least minimized?"
Two questions leasing to more questions.
So far I just have several sentences:
"Look
back to move forward"
"When is 'freedom' a dirty word?"
"When is peace a curse?"
Not too much writing so far. Sometimes hard to tell the difference between a question and a sentence. My
family's lives have been ruined. But I am not yet dead, so I write in secret. Don't tell anyone

tougher out (poem title )
style is always in
never crying is not
fashionable anymore
rampageous rarely appropriate
when I don't want to make the word of the day poetic
it began in 2008/2009ish,
a brand of comeuppance
I had never experienced

I had finally grown up

chasing running from

morning rampageous
when I revisit where I lived as a child, I remember
a time when
morning rampageous
were harmless
my Mom converses with me
a little part of myself,
I left outside
in a busy street
around the corner from where I left the chocolate bar bar code purchased at the Providence hospital gift shop
near where the empty lot with crab apple trees might have been; a few blocks from Liberty school where rampageous behavior
was limited to playing on
the merry go round
word spell word
when I was on the floor
you helped me stand
until I could
see
your rampageous pain
and
find help
when you
are tossed on the floor
rampageous prayer (poem title)

Girlie ran

my clear handprint (poem title)
life is painfully different now
having foolishly moved to a euthanasia fetish State
however, as I paint my hand in white lotion and place it firmly
on a blank white surface; seeing how my mark isn't readily visible; memories of white roses on white plastic in our used
to be pink bathroom;
I miss what seemed so alive years ago
and I scoff at my silliness; my sentimentality over my Mother's toilet paper holder; perhaps because I, like her, am easy
to forget, easy to overlook, easy to not even notice and what is worse is, as I grow older, I appreciate my clear handprint
for what it is
lotion fingerprints (poem title)
does the word disability
make any sense
in a world where
every fingerprint
is important

wanting innocence (poem title)
there is an emotion,

and I don't need to explain
justify or apologize

soul; and looking for love and never knowing how to ask, 'do you love me as much as I love you?'

reflective/responsibility (poem title)
[written at a spiritual women's retreat with my church]

so many others
have seen the pain in mine
and reminded me
to dance
in the pain

what did I expect? an adventure? (poem title)
growing up,
I didn't know what to expect:
I didn't expect to be physically disabled
or rather, I didn't expect to have disabilities
I guess learning to walk again after my evolution from ICU to a wheelchair was a miracle
at least other people said it was
then why am I surprised when I am filled with lethargy and disappointment about judgements of me from bystanders?
how many times have I circled this problem
of distancing myself from feeling humiliated and angry when scorn is placed on me
until I physically remember
a lack of expectations
is a freedom of sorts
if going on an adventure
the smell of intentional ignorance (poem title)
stronger than fetid mold
of books in the rain
wrestling with inner demons
behind the building and up the
the brick building ;
there is no shame in using the side entrance and elevator;
wrestling prowess has only inner demons in comparison
offbeat prowess in the driveway (poem title)
round and round I swirl
not in very perfect circles
though
more like toiling
without looking very graceful
however,
stretching in my four wheeled walker, the anguish of muscles neglected, the resistance against allowing human beings to be
put on shelves without function or use
is activated
as tangible
as pain relief

penned in expressing

my specious hip spots my mind; a vertical vantage point
from which to outcry, 'I
am pivotal! I determine your
destiny!'
and as I wail my phrases of physicality I have faith found there are little girls
determined to survive
golden dots golden drops golden hair (poem tittle)
any alchemist can make specious suggestions
about the best way to find gold

the reason to fall in love

less than half an hour (poem title)
for hours,
I danced
in the parking garage
and I couldn't email this note

I thought of you then
and it all seemed so easy
today isn't a feisty day
tomorrow will be a swirl;
a swirl of momentum
everyday less than half m hour
and I won't forget ever forget to think of you
and write you a note
even when my pen runs out of ink
childhood dreams (poem title)
as a child
the larger world of grown ups
impressed me so;
and adults around me had qualities I strove to develop
and perhaps most importantly
is with work dreams inveterate are woven
things I don't understand (poem title)
when my body hurts
too much to sleep
and my inveterate dog
cuddles; I wonder about
humanity
learning numbers
nothing ever happens suddenly; learning to count
to five seems obvious(
five fingers on a hand
however, an inveterate task and worth the work in five days a week
integrated injury
the commonplaceness of
sidewalk ramps; so many languages to learn and sign language becomes part of a group: busses bowing to greet wheelchair
and scooter user's part way; the integration of disability or is it acceptance of the human body: the human body that wears
out? the human body that survives torture? the human body that gets injured? the human body that is born the way a human
body is born?
a normal life: my inveterate goal: an Actress amid Actors and Actresses, as the play inside the play is like a tree trunks
rings or water rings after a stone dives bravely into the rapids determined to find the bottom: the rushing current hiding
all evidence of rings before nature has a chance to count reoccurring patterns a tiny disturbance creates
this is the human body I understand: my human body: it is as if every person is an instruction and I am a piece of paper
with my mission statement written in my personal DNA ink
and from the almost eight billion pieces of paper alive today, there are links to books and scrolls and manuscripts:
every set of instructions, a human story where the protagonist writes and is written;
so perhaps I merely follow an improvisational instruction from childhood
a time when simply watching me stand and walk caused people to smile joyfully
required dialogue
a play requires dialogue

peer pressure

a tradition of ignorance is nothing to be proud of;
what does an ingenuous resistance look like?

old wisdom/ a wrap around poem (poem title)
is it true to grow old is to grow wise or is it to grow old is the result of being wise because it seems to me newborn babies
have infantile wisdom on their side then again how is it possible to have insight into knowledge without experiencing the
circumstance aswellas its opposite, or at least a few alternatives then again wisdom is not measured in comparison to an individual;
wisdom is timeless; at times I feel there is wisdom in punctuation or rather allowing a personal communication style to be
found, complete with pauses, stops and juxtapositions in ideas or statements and emphasis given, within a series of complex
structure: as I grow older the difference between a sentence and a question seem less important; both having ingenuous wisdom
and both tending to run on at times

the story of the hugger mugger (poem title)
maybe no one has ever heard the epic tale of the hugger mugger; it was rumored he was over six feet tall and weighed a couple
hundred pounds:
he would look people in the eye and in a deep voice say, 'I'm gonna hug you'; and before anyone could reply the hugger mugger
would hug them in his big hugger mugger arms
I don't know what happened to the hugger mugger. maybe he moved or maybe he got tired of hugging. I do know whoever he is
he surprised lots of people into laughing at serious stuff and enjoy being hugged
your ugly mug (poem title)
when I see you
and I smile
it is because you are so damn ugly
and I like you all the more
and I wish I could be like you
a way to survive (poem title)
if you. my dear Face book friends,
have ever wondered what the sound of the voice of the person you are chatting with sounds like,
you are not alone
did our shared planet Earth become more destructive with the industrial revolution?
is the human race a breed of hugger muggers with cars?
radio, get on the radio snd let your sound fly
when I serenade you/ please don't disappear
(poem title)
do you hear me serenading you through the argle ~ bargle of so many voices?
everybody talking at the same time doesn't have to be confusing; how else can we learn to harmonize if we silence ourselves?.
my gravelly singing voice breaks with sobs that my eyes never cry; as a vocalist, I'm not so good and I stumble over my articulation:
and I ask for help to express what weighs on my heart and is in my mind
so maybe you won't ever hear me sing, 'please don't disappear' in person?
can you hear the ambitions and the aspirations and the enthusiasm and the endurances I am trying to send you?
listen for the vigilance, vehemence, verve, vim, vivacity, vigor, verve, vibrancy, vigor, vim, vitality, vivacity, vogue,
vigilance, vehemence, vigilance, vehemence, verve, vim, vivacity, vigor, verve, vibrancy, vigor, vim, vitality, vivacity,
vogue, vigilance, vehemence because it is all my gift to you
and if you think this poem is for you. then your suspicions are probably true
an end to violence in advertising (poem title)
there are many overlapping voice underneath the yelling argle ~ bargle calling for an end to violence in advertising
if you hear me shout, at least you will understand my response
my argle~ bargle recording
sometimes real tangible life is was more interesting then imagination; sometimes the daily mundane chore is
the center worth
to hold on to

poem today (poem title)
as you read this poem
can you concentrate on today?
can you think/remember
what is your Mother doing
as you read this puckish
poem today?
another reason women are important, (poem title)
has there ever been any Puckish man
not smiling, at least inwardly, about women and how we, as over generalizations abound anyway, are catalyst
in reminding the serious things in life are easier to handle with a feminine touch
because you can't hold a fictitious character
the sexiest woman in advertising (poem title)
the sexiest woman in advertising is the woman in my imagination; maybe I have seen a photo of a similar woman in a magazine;
maybe in a movie; or on television;
the sexiest woman in advertising is the woman in my imagination; and she loves me more and wants to be alone with me and
only me when I spend a little money on education or sports or purple stage lights or purple hair dye so I'll be smarter and
stronger, more creative and I won't look like everybody else
and when I spend a little money on music or food or boots or books; maybe I'm not thinking about sexy women: it reminds
me that the human race would've been over long ago if it weren't for sexy women in charge of balancing the budget
if Shakespeare's writing's were banned
if Shakespeare's writing's were banned
there would be no mischievous Puckish forest imps;
only an absence of Hamlet's hat;
and King Lear wouldn't trust any of
his children
hockey skates (poem title)
for whatever reason
hockey never interested me;
goalish. puckish, skatish, netish: none of these things make me think of a game
when she barks (poem title)
digging digging digging
digging in the dirty dirt
and I go everywhere
with a dirty digging dog
and neither of us
are hoity ~ toity

body is temple (poem title)
my soul is red; perhaps this is
all I truly understand as I clean poison from my dog's food bowl and my drinking cup
I have so much to learn from those with bodies of integrity and I try to listen and personalities seems hoity ~ toity and
desperate
am I made from the red sea? water from red dirt?
the black sea?
am I made from desert sand? mountain ridges? melted snow?
if a body is a temple then my soul's color is all I really need to understand
waking up nauseous
waking without noticing the sunlight
my guts vomit the hurly ~ burly
of top hats stolen from

a poem with a long title: If You Had Only 24 Hours Left Would You Write or Type A Poem? (poem title)
if I thought I only had 24 hours left to survive on this beautiful planet I would write or type a poem but I wouldn't worry
about whether or not it would actually be my last poem ever (partially because I don't know what happens after death but I
suspect lots of poetry gets written in some form)
if I thought I only had 24 hours left to survive on this beautiful planet I would write a letter asking world leaders to improve
the lives of people (and animals) in their own countries before blaming other countries for not being good enough
if I thought I only had 24 hours left to survive on this beautiful planet I would ask every single person to write a poem
(then maybe type it) and then combine it with dance moves and then decide what kinds of sounds they want to hear
if I thought I only had 24 hours left to survive on this beautiful planet I would try not to be afraid
if I thought I only had 24 hours left to survive on this beautiful planet I would make certain that my mobility dog, Girly
(a ChiwawaTerrier Mix) had a loving home with people to exercise her and feed her every day (as she cannot open dog food packages
or fill her water bowl and she is scared to even walk on the floor or go outside because dogs three times her size have biten
her so badly she needed stitches and sometimes the only reason she has escaped with her life is she runs really fast)
hurly burly world history (poem title)
hurly ~ burly can't erase slavery; consent is necessary in innate freedom
my red sweatshirt (poem title)
when I vote
I vote for survival ;
if somewhere in this
hurly ~ burly world
I could write a poem
or choreography a dance
that would bring comfort
to the mourning,
I would write it in my red
sweatshirt because my
red sweatshirt reminds me
how I was sent warmth
it's all about the garden (poem title)
sitting here in the garden ( a garden with walls and carpet and temperature control), wondering why people are cruel to each
other, especially since most people don't appreciate being the recipient of cruelty:
when I realized mulct is spelled a lot like mulch:
big picture/little picture:
my inner wisdom speaks in a tiny hesitant voice
with a pleadingly scared look in her eyes like my chihuahua/terrier service dog when even I forget she doesn't like her head
patted if you move your hand above her head too fast

“They” Might Be Coming To Get You (poem title)
“They “ might be coming to get you as “they” might not realize or accept that a quail sounds an SOS

In ruling yourself or in ruling a country a measurement and a purpose are : there is you in comparison smarter <><> are you

A Notebook In The Postal Mail (poem title)
despite possible future generations possible definition of improvement paper is stylish and exactly what you need when you
need paper for a note now times have changed in the over fifty years I have been alive and stamp prices and stamp faces have
changed AsWellAs the importance of a notebook in the postal mail as what any woman writes down to tantalize to remember to
improve to excel to scandalize to be extraordinary to influence to nurture to activate to inspire to recover to reclaim to
restore confidence to value to enjoy to mystery to expand to endure to correspond to love to astound to emote to familiarize
to rebuild to presence to repeat to experience to be sturdy is of vital significance and worth the cost of sending through
the statisphere (ignore the hype)

Big Floppy Ears (poem title)
Girlie Dog never seems to be ashamed of her appearance in fact her behavior is she assumes everyone is delighted to see her
regardless of her lack of big floppy ears: I have never witnessed her tantalize or argue her cause: She certainly doesn’t
aspire to be President or to steal other’s identities, She is Girlie Dog! Able to jump up responding instantly because
despite being hurt disappointed and sometimes neglected she cares about herself and the world she lives in
copyrighted
As Many Newspapers As My Dog Can Carry (poem title)
In my humble opinion tantalize is a subject for adults
Children have sexualities of course however there is a difference between age appropriate and censorship
Inappropriate censors are backseat writers : and I don’t mean backseat writers in a good or literal way like drunks
writing love notes in the backseat while the designated driver demurely keeps eyes front and center or Brownies and Boy Scouts
and Girl Scouts writing diaries and journals and notes while their Camp Counselor or Big Sister or Big Brother chauffeurs
fledging reporters : I also don’t mean back seat writers as unorganized children doing their last minute homework
as harried parents or school bus drivers steer their vehicles schoolward and onward
I mean it is extremely easy to talk for hours about what you don’t mean As it is easy to verbiage for hours about what
you would do if you were at an event that already occurred
It is however very difficult to write down and publish knowing others will read and have opinions and possibly censor basic
questions: how? why? what? who? when? where? rather than write answers requiring developments and processes and causes
and incitements and facts and faces and names and a time and a place
Number Six Number Six Number Six Number Six Number Six Number Six
Journalism is a lot of work and back seat drivers rarely write their censoring spew with identifiable names and identifiable
faces enabling an informed response
What my daily morning habit was: purchasing a latte and a newspaper and finding a place at an empty table my service dog,
Girlie would sit on my seated walker platform seat with her face pointed at Seattle’s daily news as if she were reading
the headlines of silly human antics while I negotiated my wheeled way through occupied tables and isles of purses and backpacks
Girlie Dog always looks like she is about to speak fluently in human language with completely independent opinions on world
events. However she doesn’t do much humanish stuff. She isn’t one of those dogs that will fetch a rolled up
newspaper and carry it in her mouth
News is often about events already occurred and Girlie Dog doesn’t seem to dwell on the past much. Her bark calls immediacy
to attention and the newspapers she carries are the paper and ink measurement of how the human race is evolving

a word I can/t spell (poem title)
there is a word I can't spell

so do words define me ?

On The Subject Of Water Boarding (poem title)
of the four elements: ground fire water air, water is not really all that unique in water’s ability to seep into
forgotten and neglected sites or in water’s combination of destructive and sustaining qualities
however if you have ever cried a tear about whelm then perchance you know that weeping is not made of fire or air and
perchance you will agree that the best way to convince someone to tell you something they have probably been wanting to tell
someone they trust their entire life is to sit and talk with them until there are reasons and a context and answers to all
of the whys someone would hold smoldering secrets especially when to someone people whelm only increases the necessity of
secrecy

Dogs Flying Helicopters (poem title)
A dog flying a helicopter is a sight I would like to see the only major barrier is humans arguing what breed the smart dog
should be
In matters of guiding the helm a Husky would quickly be whelm as ‘copters have curt and precise moves so a Dalmatian
might be the dog behooves as far as I can look I have seen a dog standing in a brook as far as I can see I have never seen
a dog climb a tree as far as dogs being ‘copter pilots I say why not?

Dear FBI,
priorities; my Mom’s safety, my safety and the safety of those concerned with our safety including our dogs and people
interacting with me in a respectful way
mom is driving to have car washed and repaired from when some guy in the park ran into the door behind the driver while my
niece K was visiting
I am not here to update her schedule for Facebook stalkers or WASHINGTON State psychotics getting their vengeance against
me for existing through raping old women
we have scheduled time to go to the women’s meeting at Unity church portland oregon this evening and I already don’t
want to go
life would be much more enjoyable if asswipes hadn’t/ didn’t make everything unpleasant :

Also. her liquid non prescription medication spilled out completely from a bottle which was sealed when I went to sleep last

however I haven’t had time to change my bandage yet today)
the hair gel aswellas my Usual Bold Coffee is toxified and I am having to make due without glasses
last night K mom and I managed to have what would likely be a typical evening if asswipes hadn’t invaded at least my
life
K practiced singing and an instrument whole mom played the piano; I could never guess stalker psychopath psychobabble however
I remember confusedly trying to figure out what the hell was going on when I asked my Mom to record Moonlight Sonata for a
stage performance sounteack
Also, I just realized I left the empty bottle from my penacillian prescription on my desk and asswipes tend to target what
is most obvious to “them”
Also, please remind asswipes the BBC didn’t ask me to be in a documentary *over a decade ago* became I am an American
with disabilities and I drink coffee
I have no idea what happened in 2001/2002 however if it has taken nearly two decades for asswipes to figure out I didn’t

Hey Dolores Street (poem title)
Perchance times and San Francisco have changed since 1984, however I remember walking on Valencia street like it meant something:
controversial bookstores along sturdy worn from walking sidewalks leading to get away cafes next to real graffitied alleyways
where if ya have somethin’ to say and can’t afford a canvas, there are murals waiting for every blank wall
Then a few years later I found out Delores Street is the official lesbian street and I should correct my thinking what makes
a woman strong is she becomes the soul of wherever street or road or area she dwells in her spirt stretches far into the Earth
with her invisible roots so if perchance whelm occurs a woman does not float away easily as grief and sorrows stain like a
Valencia orange
