Here We Are
Here we are huddling together,
neither our collective nightmare
nor our communal wetdream.
At our best,
struggling together with future and past health
of generations,
at our worst competing against each other,
resenting what our parents and grandparents took before us,
and what our children and grandchildren expect from us.
Here we are,
reincarnating mythic images of what becomes theoretically possible
for our love,
our multicultural diversity
maintaining primal economic as political power-with constants,
while finding ever new regeneratively positive variables
to produce our soul food flow trends,
savory exchanging erotic health
for globally accessible nutrition,
while snapping food from each other's mouth
like rabid turtles,
learning to hoard and commodify ecopolitical values of water
and its freedom to flow out,
as we once valued gold.
Here we are, dry-hump huddling together
hoping our sky will not collapse
before we have sucked Earth raw.
