“taboos and Totems”

(i think i hear you)

We don’t feel THE OTHERS while our heads

are in baskets of darkness. the game has been played by

All shades, of All crowds under a shared sky of clouds--from

the palest cloud to the blackest, throughout Time.

clouds of emotions rumble over All, and the taboo

is feeling compassion for THE OTHER, even as we hold the

Totems of our losses to our shared Human hearts.
