New Reality Transmission

Here’s what I imagine:

Soldiers in Afghanistan and Congo

putting down their weapons,

and others forgetting how to rig an IED.

I imagine American soldiers lining up on

runways, dancing and telling poetry as they wait

for planes to bring them home.

And some are just wandering through neighborhoods

lending a hand to install a stove or fix a window.

I imagine Senators and Congressmen looking across the aisle

and breathing, letting their shoulders drop as they see a human being

with a story of how they ran for student council in high school and lost,

and later on took care of an aging parent.

I imagine bankers and corporate execs discovering a place on earth

where they belong, and finding kids in that place

who’ve dropped out of school and can’t find a job.

And I imagine an epidemic of bicyclists in our cities,

so many that auto traffic is brought to a halt

and every sidewalk is packed with them

and not one has a lock on it.

And backyard gardens come around front,

where luscious green zucchinis become ornamental beauties.

And the only reason to lock your car

is so you don’t come out of the store

to find it full of pumpkins and tomatoes.

People who make bullets suddenly find themselves

machining pliers and thermometers and solar collectors.

Doctors and hospitals give up their fear of litigation,

recall the passion in their mission,

and turn themselves into teachers of health and wellbeing.

I imagine that people who offer stress management classes

have to redesign their curriculums to become creativity coaches,

and laughter is the main ingredient.

And assertive and compassionate communication

is taught in every school in every grade.

And our consumption of alcohol and drugs gives way to

softball and soccer and needlepoint and fishing.

And next year we birth half the number of babies as last year

and the year after, half again, and again, and we honor our children

and our elders as this swarm of humans reduces itself to a manageable number.

And the trees! the trees breathe a sigh of relief

no longer choking on carbon monoxide.

Worms and frogs and salamanders are seen dancing in the evenings.

Seaweed and lobster, dolphin and tuna fish glow blue and green.

Rain falls gently in the desert, rivers run over their dams

because our electrical production goes local.

And like my Senator, I look across the street and discover

that your beliefs about god and the environment and healthcare

grow out of your life, I find the courage to ask you where you grew up

and what your family was like and listen.

And listen.

I can see it. Can you?
