“*Poem: Washington D.C. (The District)*

I love it
In this square
of columns and obelisks…
and monuments designed
to align
with constellations:
To symbolize our protection.
Serius. Virgo. Sun.

Washington,
Here where Virginia and Maryland meet, and greet.

Streets and corner-stones laid
In the glorious shapes
of Pentagrams and Christian crosses
And cubes and pyramids,
And the Blazing Star set on a ley line,
And the temple in the eye.

Homes, made
of red-brick, and granite
Stones.

Laus Deo!

Answers
May be somewhere
Off the shores
Of the Potomac;
Where my father
Once baptized me,

And the waters
Of the district
Touched my skin.

And the consciousness of America
Was rebirthed in me.”

“Equitable & Synergistic Systems Economics (ESSE), also known as Permaculture Economics, is a new economic framework I created that merges principles from permaculture – a design system for sustainable and regenerative agriculture and living – with the fundamentals of capitalist economics.”
