The empathy needed for feeling the frayed neurons Which divide us Is polluted by anger that begets violence Anger created by distrust Of your own worthiness Inside of your split chakras Pillages all of our dreams On Monday morning Standing next to an elderly woman Who must visit the local clinic By 10 a.m. in order to see her favorite doctor Who taps her knees with a pink mallet That looks like the one used by her pediatrician when she was a little girl She remembered feeling that his eyes and touch Believed in the grace and femininity of female anatomy An anatomy that tells us to be strong in generosity Courageous when confused Warm and supportive at all times Even when our physicality is drained Even when our motor skills stop purring Their anatomy reminds us that Earth shakes, spits, rattles, rocks, and rolls Despite our natural itch to scratch and claw Within our gray matter Which then manifests itself into The tossing of objects The throwing of Mario fireballs The spraying of manipulated words The spitting of knifed verbs for dinner Until you remember the moments warmer than blueberry pie When your chakras glow beneath your lung Feeling warmer than wood logs Kissed with a match from your favorite bar On Rivington, whose brunch is always served With a long hug and bass that you like Way before Facebook told you how to feel at all times As times before Facebook allowed you the capacity To hate, then ask questions when later came calling That usually did not happen So time passed slowly, where we looked in the sky A cool, calm wind Needed To laugh with our children. Dreaming not only of the future Where prophecy existed in our dreams But of a present still Until a leader took action Walking through neighborhoods Showing business plans for the marginalized Where architects can draw Where business leaders can share ideas Index cards Design stills Performance reports Their family members' business cards Pens with a logo To write about the plans that empower the people Who have the warm spirit to continue the growth Of that blue flame inside of their stomach pit The eternal one That's it That one
