earth note 480

conventional indoctrination
paraphrases
every conventional dogma
&
modern society assumptions (carefully calculated confusion)
that this
     life-trip
          opening up from a pop-up tent
will leave you hungry
disappointed for more
that the whole cosmos
might be monetized
converted for a quick dollar
even with a twist of
on the road

don't believe it

believe

     the high desert
     aspen mountains
     weathered rock faces
     beings before the plunder
     green valleys of rain
     and maize
     a squash blooming in loving hands
     sun sages
     timeless wisdom
