"dialectical" poems
I'm made of all; The books I've ever read Poems I've ever written Faces who have smiled at me Hugs that have wrapped around me Caresses that have graced my inner thigh Countries & continents my feet have touched The lovers as we simultaneously reach ecstasy within Lonely nights shedding tear drops Nights gazing black skies moon & stars Children falling asleep to my heartbeat Animals whose soul was found through reflective eye stares Conversations spoken in French, Spanish, Italian, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Norwegian, German Years of ****** cognitive-, dialectical-, art-, drama-, music-, mindfulness-, trauma-, psychiatry-; therapies The drinks & drugs & mind altering substances dispersing my mind In all I'm made of; Love Lust Greed Fear Joy Freedom Longing Dreams Despair Sadness Anger Frustrations Happiness Anxieties Insecurities.... In all I'm made of; A soul; securely contained within a body of battled scars; over; pain & triumphs, losses & gains, rejections & acceptances, dishonours & accolades... With the hope; she too, can live life through. © Sia Jane

Chapters of Self
“The essence of reality is contradiction” - Hegel Ang tao ay likas na malaya, nabubuhay na malaya at dapat na maging malaya. Walang karapatan ang sinoman na mang-alipin. Hindi tayo pag-aari ninoman at walang taong ‘pweding umangkin sa kapwa n’ya. Ito ang batas ng kalikasan at ng uniberso. Walang panginoon at busabos, walang dapat na nag-uutos, at wala dapat mga alilang tagasunod. Sana ang buhay ay puro na lang Rosas at walang posas. Subalit nagdilim ang kasaysayan nang maghari ang kasakiman na pinukaw ng matinding paghahangad ng iilan sa kayamanan. Kailangan na makakuha ng maraming kalakal nang lumawak ang merkado. Pero teka sino ang gagawa nito? Edi kunin ang mga mahihina at gawin silang mga alipin, pilitin na magtrabaho sa ilalim nang hagupit ng latigo. Hawakan sa leeg o di kaya naman ay kitilin, sa ganitong paraan sila dapat na pasunurin. Tanang pagmamalabis ay may wakas. Hindi lang si Spartacus ang nag-alsa kundi pati ang mga itim na alipin. Sumiklab ang himagsikan sa paghahangad ng mga alipin na kumawala sa kanikanilang mga tanikala. Dumating ang panahon ng Piyudalismo, nagbagong anyo lang ang halimaw at muli n’yang inalipin ang mga kapos-palad at mahihirap. Nangibabaw ang Aristokrasya na parang maitim na ulap na lumalambong sa himpapawid kaya hindi makita ang sinag ng araw. Salamat na lang at bumagsak ang Bastille at nagtagumpay ang rebolusyong Pranses. Mula sa mga guho ng lipunang piyudal ay lumitaw ang mga bagong panginoon, ang mga Burgis. Sila ang mapagsamanta at naghaharing-uri sa ating panahon. Mga kapitalista, elitista at mga burgesya komprador. At tayo na nasa baba, tayo na ang puhunan para mabuhay ay dugo’t pawis, tayo na mga proletaryo ang s’yang makabagong alipin. Mga alipin ng burgesya na ating pinapanginoon, tayo na lumilikha ng yaman ng bansa ang s’yang laging pinagsasamantalahan at binubusabos. Tinatakot na gugutomin kapagka hindi nagpa-ubaya at sumunod sa utos. Habang tumatagal ay tumitindi ang mga salungatan at kontradiksyon sa pagitan ng mayaman at ng mahirap. Bulkan ito na sasabog sa bandang huli. Ang batas ng kasaysayan ang nagsabi na ang lahat ng uri ng pang-aapi ay magwawakas. Nag-alsa ang mga alipin, naghimagsik ang mga pesante hindi magtatagal gustuhin man natin o hindi titindig ang mga proletaryo at sama-sama nilang ibabagsak ang kapitalismo na itinataguyod ng mga burgesya komprador.

I love your curvaceous contours, whilst physiological precipitations calmly shoot their nectar across longitudinal and latitudinal expressions of ontology. How seductive are your displayed features of blatant enticements. I truly give thanks for your explicit revelations, where blatancy and discretion collide with dialectical icebergs. So, my friend of uncertain deliberation, put it on the altar of sacrifice where botanical skies of elliptical infernos resound throughout the classical universe. I love this revealing and scientific corridor of acknowledgement.

the narrative does not cling to classicalism of stating whether the pronoun usage is either singular or plural or both to allow an armchair of expression; after all... there's enough for us to bypass the classical philosophical debate about subject and object, simply investigating pronoun usage in relation to singularity or pluralism. there’s a theory where poetry came from, one read: cleopatra wanted to hear sweet-nothings calibrating a razor with a viper’s kiss... another read: she báthory? she báthory? she the one that turned milk into blood? she can burn in hell. i thought we were un-dialectical in the realms of concern? no... you see... poetry came from punctuated-impressionism... or a fear of it... punctuation of course, not from the impressionism... poets fear punctuation... give them a semi-colon and they treat it like a sidelined line of verse. this is poetry in mathematical equations: i had a pear(,) it was a spare(.) i had a care for traffic(-) so i missed( ) the expressions and started using an obelisk to quarter up the mammoth into chop suey... poets simple say: next line! when prose says next paragraph and the prized execution of the 100m sprint . . .

Rain-clouds linger in cumulonimbus fascination where the cultural class-formation is shaped by abstract territoriality. Pressure gradients of global awareness are impacted by the adiabatic process. So, turn up the heat and chill in the waves of dialectical ontology.

July 4th - There Are No Tribes in America
*did you buy all of this on credit and can you do without going to ceremonies for awhile look what higher learning and empty rituals have given you a distrust for humanity and all that's truly valuable are you a nihilist or a solipsist what a life to be so twisted like an elliptical esophagus so strange the way we spell things what would we do without spellcheck or a dictionary these days is a thesaurus a dinosaur or a literary device the swelling went down right in time for your dialectical revival while didactic strange attractors are strangely repellent selective attackers leave your marriages despondent disparaged orthodontists leave fluids on your face still you wipe your chin with sandpaper and leave greasy finger stains in their place fluoride is a bargain complete with its own argument and quite often batteries are not included but that doesn’t mean you’ll never use them for what's a *** toy to do if its lacking its adjacent latex compartments or if you're really just not in the mood i guess this human body will have to do grooving to the music is all about our choosing to becoming outdated or faded like a tax evader these equations are meaningless when you are fermented with libations if you drink more amber liquid would you be negated relevant for a moment and then just as quickly discarded as a piece of paper the receipts we diligently saved are just as well used to light your fireplaces*

Take Chuck P's "Fight Club" and send it through the shredder of the tradition since, say Shelley, add some good science and dialectical thinking and you have Timmy (well,  one part of TD's voice, as there is much more) Please check out his culturally & historically significant poems out.

I wish Timothy Donnelly were on here.
Shall we embark upon the ancient grove, where seedlings propagate their sensual jaws of death? We have burst forth from the liberated confines of contemporary entitlement and social communism. Crossing through to the cosmological amusement arcade, we are presented with a melodic base and harmony which rise beyond legends of dialectical octaves within our classical symphony. Therefore, let us use visible gestures which convey an accurate understanding of this intricate arrangement. It is not dissimilar to the purkinje fibres of ventricular walls, because without synchronicity, the music will cease to resound across the galaxies.

If ever once my words took flight may this song now break their wings. Snap the hollowed chicken bones and scatter feathers to the wind. As sun bakes dry the loam and silt while tigers prey on lambs, I find your love less filling than some godly preacher’s scam.

On the dialectical process of poetry-writing
If I ever get addicted to cigarettes, it will be because of you, Mike— the screenwriter and smoker from Miami who I met amidst the gentle crashing of the calm waves. It’s not that I needed to smoke to accent the stars, already so powerful in their summer sky without haze, but I did need the smoke to accent you, Mike, to hear about the time you climbed a mountain where the air was so cold and the wind so fierce that in your tent, your body created an atmosphere dialectical in its warmth and surreal rain. When I cough up phlegm in the morning, I’ll be thinking of you, Mike, and as that brownish yellow glob slides down the thin metal drain, I know I’ll think that if I get addicted to cigarettes because of you, Mike, then it won’t be such a bad thing.

COLOUR OF HOPE
The quest for both burial and resurrection are significant, as their flickering shadows of the self-depreciatory abyss chant their silent and hauntingly audible presence under the canopy of the ancient forest. Let us celebrate the night together, as we are traumatically enveloped within an exposed and dialectical pronunciation during this classical and acoustic daylight romance. Although I truly hate your love, I also reject your evident indifference. This is the essence of feeling like a fake within the genuineness of our actual and perceived realities. It is heaven-sent, like a feathered breed of unresolved investigations within our socio-political climate of assumed advancement, where the intensity of the beat gyrates her percussionist hips across ******* expressions of the cosmological sound barrier. Concurrently, the tangible rhythm of nature’s pulse considerately consummates her forcefully placid interactions within the context of gender specific diversity. It is all in the name of discriminatory wholeness, my friend. Our ambivalent connectedness to that which is catastrophically uncertain reminds me of drawing curtains across this conglomerate dawn of darkness and uninhibited concealment. Just look at our ornithological formation, where leadership spreads her wings with censored zoological resignations and simplistic wisdom. You have truly lifted my soul within the complexity of this circuitry, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge that we are a myriad of expressions which cannot be adequately articulated within the thermals of our cosmological stratosphere. Yet, there is a certain finesse to delinquency, and I have bridged the metaphorical gap across the chasm of divided entities, where we can embrace the cool and gentle breeze right at the fulcrum of unforgiving landscapes and shamanic pastures. Like an artistic depiction of woodland serenity, we are engaged in this wonderful neutrality where it is all about the dance – otherwise known as the energy of modern choreography. Epistemology can be questionable, where assumptions are sickeningly grounded within the soil of egocentric perceptions of supremacy. Trust me, my seasoned partner of those astral plains of Nirvana: my lips are sealed in this putrid reconciliation of proclaimed opposites, which are said to mutually attract.

An Ode to the Regulation of Sensual Propaganda
The quest for both burial and resurrection are significant, as their flickering shadows of the self-depreciatory abyss chant their silent and hauntingly audible presence under the canopy of the ancient forest. Let us celebrate the night together, as we are traumatically enveloped within an exposed and dialectical pronunciation during this classical and acoustic daylight romance. Although I truly hate your love, I also reject your evident indifference. This is the essence of feeling like a fake within the genuineness of our actual and perceived realities. It is heaven-sent, like a feathered breed of unresolved investigations within our socio-political climate of assumed advancement, where the intensity of the beat gyrates her percussionist hips across ******* expressions of the cosmological sound barrier. Concurrently, the tangible rhythm of nature’s pulse considerately consummates her forcefully placid interactions within the context of gender specific diversity. It is all in the name of discriminatory wholeness, my friend. Our ambivalent connectedness to that which is catastrophically uncertain reminds me of drawing curtains across this conglomerate dawn of darkness and uninhibited concealment. Just look at our ornithological formation, where leadership spreads her wings with censored zoological resignations and simplistic wisdom. You have truly lifted my soul within the complexity of this circuitry, and I wholeheartedly acknowledge that we are a myriad of expressions which cannot be adequately articulated within the thermals of our cosmological stratosphere.

in the dialectical continuum, as on the chat show under the name of loose women you get to see the phenomenon that is third party dialectics, i.e. someone reads an almost anonymous person’s opinion and you get this safety net where no one is really responsible for the origin of the discussion, since the person giving the opinion is not engaged in dialogue, so the surgeons of the tongue hotly discuss a thin-air opinion of someone unable to provide a follow-up, so whatever opinions are given, the third party isn’t there... hence you get this strange dialectical continuum where only more opinions are uttered and any memorable truths are sidelined to the scientific quarter of the human mind where everything from toothpaste to suntan lotion is given the thumbs up undisputed like a caesar’s whim with gladiators for the thumbs-down.

in the dialectical continuum
There are no tribes in America. This is my annual reposting of my July 4th poem, written years ago. After reading about some tribal warfare in a far away land, I wrote this true story down.... ~~~~~~~~~ one July 4th, many years ago walking the streets, of the city of Nice, situe on the Cote D'azur of France, on the Mediterranean Sea, where ships of navies may safely park, sailors ashore leavened to disembark^ how I came to be there is a poem for another time walking the streets, of the palm tree resort along Le Promenade Des Anglais, coming at me, Three Sailors, unmistakably American One white, One black, One from California, which I believe, is still part of the USA how we fell upon each other in warm embrace, smiling, bestowing blessings of grace not as strangers, but as fellow signatories on the Declaration of Independence brothers, long lost, reunited as if it had been many years, since we had our arms entwined, one family from one far away united place dialectical differences ignored, even the wide-eyed 'Bama boy, totally comprehensible, for on that say, we spoke a language that encompassed a single brotherhood, a common history, all on that holy day no tribes in America, no colors, no religions, only brothers-in-arms I need not choose to believe that should it happen again twenty years hence, perhaps with their sons, my embrace will exactly the same be, for I know it true, for there are no tribes in an American heart. ^disembarked to be leavened....either works

July 4th - There are no tribes in America
There are no tribes in America. This is my annual reposting of my July 4th poem, written years ago.

What is the opposite of this desire that burns? Perhaps a lethargic state, a complete lack of concern If youth were lust would it desire to be old Could you find its opposite in a heart of gold Is the opposite of lust a feeling of grief Is it the opposite of the word relief If lust starts to burn will the passion be void This kind of dialectical double-talk is only a ploy To baffle your mind and add to your confusion ‘Cause truly, lust is only an illusion Yet if there was a spokesperson for the lustful regime I’m sure her words would make you dream For all those things you desire Until your *** awakes on fire

LUST AND THE OPPOSITE THEREOF
“Life is, at its core, a smattering of multicolor streaks and blotches on a knock-off Jackson ******* painting, don’t you think?” you say between impossibly tiny sips of your organic loose leaf herbal something-or-other tea— or at least I think that’s what you said; I was too distracted (by the general awfulness with which your incomprehensibly long nose hairs mingled with your bristly auburn mustache as elevated nonsense poured out of your speech-hole) to fully ingest your attempt at insightfulness. But I reply: “Aren’t you saying that what you’re saying doesn’t matter anyway? Abstract expressionism, existentialism, nihilism, all that stuff? Life has no meaning—so we better talk about it!” Heh. But my dialectical cynicism is no match for your allegorical bullshit-ism: “Ah, but we create meaning! The lonely abyss of individual experience, when shared, isn’t so lonely anymore— Mon Dieu! This tea tastes like sunshine!” I can’t avoid a sigh-and-eye-roll combo. When my eyes return to the table, I see my upside-down reflection in a dessert spoon. I painted a Pollock-esque piece in 9th grade. My art teacher adjusted her cat-eye glasses, the gold parts of her hazel irises sparkling behind them while she said something about the creative subconscious. The first drip took some self-convincing; the blank canvas on the floor seemed to taunt me with the possibility of mistake. At first I pretended I was ******* himself, trying to think the elevated nonsense he may have thought. It didn’t work. My friend told me to “just go for it,” so I did. I began with green for no reason at all, and ended with yellow for reasons that I knew existed but that I couldn’t explain. Elated, I realized my painting made sense to me. “Would you like a sip?” I can’t avoid a smile because **** this tea does taste like sunshine.

My name is Elan Gregory. I am mixed race writer. If you do not relate to being African American, please call me “they.” If and when referring to me when I am absent, please call me “them.” Because of the failure of whiteness to assimilate into blackness. The biological acceptance of being from Africa. Because of these patterns of disassociating from humanity that is imperialism. Because of segregation. I am not mixed race until the others who accuse me acknowledge they are as well. A light skinned French father and light skinned English mother make a seamless offspring that is perceived and experiences confidence being “pure white.” Everyone is pure mixed race. Not pure black or white. So to those that resist evolution I am “They or Them." I have three books published. "Organic Intelligence," “Lucid", and "Escape from Liberty.” More recently I have been solely writing poetry. It is much more efficient and intimate. I decided to write books to try and expose the urgency of deconstructing social construction. When in the event of socially constructed human dynamics there are practical (dialectical) ways in navigating and understanding what it means to be human. Social construction is a verb. Not finished. An enforced process. Sometimes internal. How can it stop? When does it stop? How does it feel? How did it happen? Who started them? Why? Many of the issues in society that I thought I could influence enough to change things for the better are still becoming worse. Poetry I feel has more urgency and immediate potency in terms of energizing new events and movements.
