AND THE FORESTS

AND THE FORESTS
“and the forests will
echo with laughter”
       Led Zeppelin

I don’t have a bag to
keep the goodness in

or, thank God,
a bag to let waste products out!

but I do
have the idea
that
if there were
a thing called
spiritual
  anarchism
it might
be cool

chatbot spewed out
twenty pages
on the subject

read
some

wrote some

womdering if
there might be a
golden
   ripple effect
to be had here

last
   of these dystopian days
we will ever see

the forests
eager to agree

OFF THE SCALE

OFF THE SCALE

the Sun
beamed through my window
only to
take issue with me
scorch the files
on my computer

leaving me desperate
to get a handle on
electromagnetism

so much fire out there
in here
    as chatbot and I
argue the toss
over philosopher
Catherine Malabou
and other
anarchist thinkers

wondering about
the Sun’s role
in authority, Apollonian
regal power
       and how that
might avail itself
to tyranny

especially the kind
with solar ring of confidence
branded by beaming smile
