The Other Environmentalism
Now training to be a psychoanalyst —
she wrote a master’s thesis
called
“Food Beyond
Pleasure” —
Ms. Zweigenthal lifts
weights and
walks three miles a day.
“Look at my cute little triceps!”
she exclaimed,
pinching them.
Frame of Mind
The System is sustainable:: state of the art sustaining
counter to intuition’s sealed insularity & no whine
released before its time.
Homeland securities allow invasion only when the
timing’s right for evolution.
Oh, evolve!
Other wise: rice off a rhino.
In-denial is in-denial
of in-denial, denying denying:
not knowing better; sustaining system-as-is until
ready
for disillusion, demoralization. & the beginnings
of reform which I hate like sin.
The collective frame of mind, culture, custom,
convention, tradition,
discipline, habit & habitat,
rites, routines, tuition and intuition: all sustain
sustainability sustainably.
Neither logic nor sermons convince,
but contradiction & paradox need not
apply.
Imagination may count more than knowledge but
knowledge is what count counts. The kind of thinking
that makes problems can’t fix them but it’s the only kind
we like. Know.
Like weather, like communication
like it or not: the
system is state of
the art. & sustains sustainability
sustainably— in it’s own terms of desire, of course.
Not in mine.
