Empower

Power: Posse. Possibility
Potent. Potential. Potentate.
 
Turn IT up, I say:
the contra-dictions
discrepancies, the
gap between
talking the talk
and walking the walk
and talking the walk,
and walking the talk:
ex-officio structural
power we call
organization (the power
of a grade-gun or you’d
never Be Here Now
at 8 am, don’t lie) and
charismatic power of
individuals and music
and fashion and style
powering a rat-a-tattoo
got to  admit it: the power
a grand canyon
   
Turn IT up—the fusion
& confusion:  paradoxes
of power and put IT in
play for crying out loud,
empowering your self
coming  to your own
terms with power, oops
ouch, damnit: potential
potency & impotency
and how they all Just
Get Along
 
Imagine what it  would be
like if power were equally
distributed, if wealth were
equally distributed if we had
5 parties to vote for rather than
2 , if everybody was as important
as everybody else and no child
was left behind as if we were
for everybody and you were for
everybody too.
 
Every body a “middle” child.
Middling. Middle class making
the whirl a better pace.  Who’s
got the power?
xxxooo, H.D.Throw
