no such thing as senseless 1/7/20

there is no such thing as the senseless.

what is baffling is that conclusion, 

based upon the ease with which thinking takes, 

its matter of course.

yes, there is the irrationality involved

but who wants to leave their logical world 

to create a scope large enough to embrace  

that which is profoundly illogical 

but essentially energetically true in nature? 

that is emotionally charged with limited scope 

but profoundly discharged in actions 

or in mindsets, 

yet well concealed from rational perception?

senseless is a response to perception 

with limited empathetic pursuit 

to the depth necessary to embrace 

the complexity of the original causes 

and the immediacy of the current circumstances.

senseless is quick to summary

and the need for closure as to blame.

somehow blame seen allows for the distance

from the impact-fulness one could take personally.

yes, there are those people of immediacy,

who have radical outcomes to deal with

and are faced with massive unexpected consequences.

but more deeply there are deeper causes

that reside in society’s methods of existence.

there are the why’s and how’s of self in isolation,

the premise of extensive separatism among us all,

the interactional reality of false projections,

without the deeper communications 

of emotionally being damaged from childhood onward.

the network necessary of human connectivity 

is to refabric personal human internal upheavals,

one to one or one to many as spontaneously necessary.

the insular silence delves, further self privately mutilates,

becomes a charge 

and repositions one’s sense of being.

we all carry wounds with these tendencies,

yet in confinement,

in some, it is just wardrobe, 

while in others, it is wounds with potential outcome.

issues that will affect core 

resulting in polarizations 

that will eventually evidence themselves.

the emotional fabric of all is a collective effort,

even though our culture does not abide.

we pride on faultfinding, blame, and appropriate distance

yet we are all students of personal psychology.

the coursework is never done,

grades are only every moment’s account.

we seem to have no problem

with leveraging that psychology for capitalistic profit

as if the stated agenda 

is independent relative worth in comparison to others.

as if all of this is the endless poker game of living 

even though the collective fabric of society needs tending.

our ultimate politics should be face to face,

feelings communicated in the present,

the rise of mindsets of connectivity,

and the wherewithal to deliver presence to others.

senseless does not describe something out there

but it more directly addresses

a lack of something within each of us.

yes, in each of us that is dormant of usage.

for us, as humans,

living in conclusions 

does not allows us to address those needs

that each emotional moment might internally present.

when think out weighs feel

and conclusions outweigh feelings,

we have mutated perceptual allure 

and a rational dysplasia.

we settle into encampments of incomprehensibility,

recoil into our separatist’s self-doms   

and thereby become witness 

into our own isolation of perception,

only to further ponder witlessly on the senseless,

as that ball of yarn 

we tell ourselves to unravel . . .
