Disability, Illness and Fundamentalism

My brother died of Cystic Fibrosis,

if hungry enough,
as they would like to treat us.

We could do well
to become...

on public health and safety,
national health defense
and economic offensives you might propose
for healthier individuals 
and families
and nations
and even planet Earth, hopefully?

Could you give me an...

Feminist ecotherapists,
deeply immersed in polycultural ecology,
a systematic teleology of cooperative nutrition economics,
remain rarely flushed out from their safe spots.

A self-isolating,
often eremitic,
subspecies,
with shamanic nature-as-spirit tendencies,
our most articulate mentors often wander off
to pray for,
breathe and suffer and...

You did not choose to be born,
much less Black Lives Really Should Equally Matter born

your familial and civil Two-Connecticuts destiny.

I realize that,
And regret perhaps my own choices
in response to invitations for care-giving
and healthcare-receiving

Conceived in manic sorrow,
proclaiming herself left
with self-righteous Hollowness,
the less assertive Queen of Hearts:

I'm good between either of these two black kings
and those two black jacks behind, 
either one,
no matter to me

Between a spade for digging...

My mind shorts out sometimes 
And my judgment goes out the window 
That's when I do stupid 
& the aftermath makes me feel suicidal. 
Sometimes it leads me right into
Temptation

well-versed in singing
"We have many ways to learn."

Eyes
and ears,
Touch
and feelings,
Tastes

The math teacher
was conservative
about over-generalizing
from her own deep learning experience.
She did not trust
in only...

To be relaxed and at ease,
To be kind and considerate to all those I meet,
And to keep on multiplying, growing, and achieving.

From my father, I've learned to...
