Recommendations for healing from a distance
from A Feathered Sleep
I told a compassionate jurist once, the recipe for understanding the anxious at heart:
the most disturbing clamor, is that of positivities drum
it beats loudly outside their chamber
be grateful for lifeit proclaims
illuminating sub-text running a ticker tape parade
if you are not grateful you are a bad person
for we know, the anxious will always examine

for there are those who go alone
and those who need a hot air balloon
we are all capable of flight
even if long hidden are our smiles
time
that trespasser of calm
wills us on

“We do not have time for the White House edition of Celebrity Apprentice starring President-Elect Pussy Grabber.”
“Since no Democratic or liberal politician has yet stepped forward out of the morass of Politics Inc. to take on the responsibility of The Resistance, I, with complete awareness of the presumptuousness and arrogance of this statement, volunteer myself, and I will gladly turn over all these burdens to any more legitimate and informed lawmaker or political or cultural leader who has the guts to take these burdens.”
“The first step is to complete the de-legitimizing of his presidency and his election. De-legitimizing that he himself began.”
