You know, I know
windmills very much.
I have studied it
better than anybody
else. It’s very expensive.
They are made in China
and Germany mostly.
—Very few made here, almost none,
but they are manufactured, tremendous
—if you are into this—
tremendous fumes. Gases are
spewing into the atmosphere. You know
we have a world
right?

So the world
is tiny
compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous
of fumes and everything.
You talk about
the carbon footprint
— fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China,
Germany, it’s going into the air.
It’s our air
their air
everything — right?

A windmill will many bald eagles.
After a certain
they make you turn the windmill off.
That is true.
—By the way
they make you turn it off.
And yet, if you killed one
they put you in jail.
That is OK.

You want to see a bird graveyard?
You just go.
Take a .
A bird graveyard.
Go a windmill someday,
you’ll see
more birds
than you’ve ever seen
in your life.

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF.......

Sometimes I wonder
if Mary breastfed Jesus.
if she cried when he bit her
or if she sobbed when he would not latch.

and sometimes I wonder
if this is all too vulgar
to ask in a church
full of men
without milk stains on their shirts
or coconut oil on their breasts
preaching from pulpits off limits to the Mother of God.

but then i think of feeding Jesus,
birthing Jesus,
the expulsion of blood
and smell of sweat,
the salt of a mother’s tears
onto the soft head of the Salt of the Earth,
feeling lonely
and tired

annoyed
overwhelmed
loving

and i think,
if the vulgarity of birth is not
honestly preached
by men who carry power but not burden,
carry privilege but not labor,
carry authority but not submission,
then it should not be preached at all.

because the real scandal of the Birth of God
lies in the cracked nipples of a
14 year old girl
and not in the sermons of ministers
who say women
are too delicate
to lead.

ANARCHY.....

Paul Feyerabend, international philosopher of Science, is making a reappearance in thinking .....I first made his acquaintance in the late 60's ...and his concepts have intertwined with philosophy since then.

I just came across a quote of his that I had printed by hand on art-paper and posted in a show of art-work in the 90's......I can't even remember what paintings were in that show, but .......well, Feyerabend's words spoke anew and I included them in a I made for 's 45th birthday. I needed that injection of anarchism......how we can't move forward without it, getting stuck in our way......trudging along in habitual paths.....

"Ancestral memory as a physical phenomena that exists as an environmental component rather than as a discrete brain trace...... The possibility that our minds and memories are non-specific us as individuals but are part of a resonant fabric that informs our psychology and morphology."
