BIRTH
​
I feel deep pelvis
Reflex riding contractions up my core
shaping sounds
resonating skull bones
Ah
I body
exercise yes
pelvis to head
mind of movement
subpostured thought
This is where children grow
and I decide
with yes and no
if I shall birth
human beings
Core
muscles
pelvis to head
subposture thought:
no and yes
They move together
to decide
if I will bear
the tribe
or barren
to grow myself and you

CLIMATE CHANGE
​
As a society
we behave
based
on justifications
Truths
we agree upon
explaining
why we live this way
and climate change
is challenging them all
Climate
changing
because of a way of living
justified by
truths
What are these truths?
“Part of you
is limitless
infinite”
Pick your truth
Christianity
infinite soul
New Age
infinite consciousness
Transhumanism
infinite mind with machine
Academia
limitless knowledge to join the hivemind
Money
your worth to infinity
All of them claim
that part of self
has a limitless character
A vastness
surpassing
body
We believe.
“It's truth”
we think
We want to show
how much we believe
Accumulate
to match
outer lives
to an inner infinity
Justifications
Against climate change,
they all fall apart
We are not infinite
We are not limitless
Climate change
is
about
limits
Climate change is about
limits
as individuals
as bodies
as a species
To correct perspective
we create
a strong emotional relationship
with the
finite
sensory
nature
of
ourselves
An understanding
of self as body
This requires
a new spiritual truth
explaining how
emotions, mind, consciousness, ah
are finite processes
Sensory experiences
rooted in flesh events
Felt, flesh sensations
rising
passing away
in a dance of life
until death
A new generation
dancing next
What happens
when we don't
waste our time
thinking about
living after we die?
What happens when we don't think about
why
it's possible?
And how
“I”
will get there?
What happens when I don't fantasize about
MY
SELF
after
death?
I
think
about others
who will live after me
That's how climate change
will change
when our truths
justify behavior
to continue life
THE STATE OF THINGS
The world
breaking down
fear uncertainty grabbing masses
old orders clamping down
authoritarianism
people clinging to what they know
others resisting within and without the system
Masses in unconscious anxiety
because their world view is challenged
feel their own death
and urgently stoke their spiritual bank accounts more
to become more pure
drawing from the existing models and systems
feeding the legitimacy of the authority
until we all die
​
Though perhaps
we can strongly and simultaneously
create a new model
rooted in new paradigms
building from the ground
self-trust
trust of others
networks of care
spiritually justified
by knowledge that we have limits
that we are bodies
