Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
The roots of the word ‘anarchy’ are ‘an archos,’ ‘no leaders,’ which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word ‘anarchy’ is mentioned. I think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.
~Alan Moore

Chaos does not mean total disorder. Chaos means a multiplicity of possibilities. Chaos is from the ancient Greek words that means a thing that is birthed from the void. And it was about that which is possible, not about disorder.
~Jok Church

If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready. The first one, too, was made out of chaos.
~Robert Quillen

EndQuote:
Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.
~Henry Miller

Prewritten:  floor, catalyst

or…

First floor or Exit door
Corner of Fate and Chance
Catalyst of coincidence
Intersecting incidents
But was it Death or Love

What Remains

Forest floor
A patch of fronds
Feathery ferns in the mottled light
Moss thick branches brought to ground
Arboreal peace then a fight for life

A flurry of leaves
Scurrying feet at frantic speed
The squeal
A fox-caught squirrel’s only sound
A hush of the holy tho birds abound

Narrative catalysts emotional catharsis
Toppled trees like fallen warriors
Not just stories meant to distract us
Nor merely fables to teach and instruct us
Only reminders that life will destroy us

~

Shepherd’s Pie

Sheep adore and trust their shepherd
Deeply loved he’s daily peppered
Approval ratings set a record
Yet ’twas he who shocked and floored his flock
Convinced them finally that he’d run amuck

Neither deist nor atheist, humanist or scientist
Not even cannibal animist munching on mutton bits
But a trader cattle-ist, a turncoat wearing capitalist
The feast is on the meat filet mignon
When id feeds ego it decides the menu
