Thoughtways.
Ethos?
Hopefully not Groupthink?
Perhaps some Critical Thinking??
Paths in the Savanna …
Leading to a warmed (but doomed) Northwest Passage.
It’s all about inputs/throughputs/…
And especially outputs,
About energetics
And embodied human appropriated net primary productivity.
(Life, thoughts? Dynamic homeostatic symbioses?
They are matter
Organized with inputs
Of free available energy.)
And critical thinking?
…………………………
Hunter-gatherers, peasants, money-lenders.
Animists, Zoroasterians, Buddhists.
Christians who are capitalists? (They’re not christians!)
What were your pathways, … your thoughtways?
What are your throughways, … your thoughtways?
Tried and True understood and respected boundaries.
Then agrilogistics2 and War.
Now we are “peacefully MAD” with mutually-assured-destruction
But with nasty conventional War caused by those less than us
OR
Less than them, holier than thou … US! The U.S.).
And in their stupid amoral nastiness of conventionality
They also cheat, abusing; using …
Sarin!
…………………………….
Nine years-old and five-o’clock morning-cold
On the bed of a crew-leader’s big ol’ truca
With brown farmworkers young and old
Dreading un otro dia de cosecha in the hot south Texas sun.
Faces wind-blown in the back of the bob-tail.
Seventy miles to work cattle in elementary years.
Riding the old bus, nick-named gray-goose,
To Del Rio San Felipe,
High school football, on the way back we’ll be sleepy.
Across the border and terrible (and innocent?) sin.
Wish we’d never been.
At twenty, up and down the cotton rows
Counting ladies and Chrysopa,
Orius, big-eyed and assassin bugs.
Who would have known the opening of doors and paths?
Through fields of Vigna, Phaseolus, calabacitas,
Popcorn and mungs.
Sorghum and Cynodon,
Brachiaria and capim elephante.
And campos of many more.
Pensacola during Vietnam,
Majestic pathways through the sky.
In Beechcraft Bonanzas and T-28s.
Sterile! Artificial! Insane!!
This pathway, this thoughtway is not for me!
It’s sure as hell not PEACE!
Daily walks through Krakow to daily Mass.
Beautiful church-structures spared in the second great war.
Damn this old, complex Jewish adulation/Jewish hate.
Bodies of young veterinarians and campesinos
Tossed about en la parte trasera of battered camionetas
Across the bumpy and serpentine caminos up in montañas tropicales.
(ICE-detained Deyling
Who fled Ortega and Nicaragua
PAINFULLY! wishes he were home.)

With which group do I think?
They all often stink!
But at times are beautiful,
A marvelous, intriguing … and hopeful
Think-stink.
Thoughtways. Pathways.
What a wonderfully crazy life!
