“Bold As Love” Jimi Hendrix
For the Gulf
On the occasion of “Hands Across the Sand”
In these last days
we disemboweled the gut of the Gulf,
missed the womb that could have birthed Venus
septicemia spreads
like tendrils
on her watery grave
In Japan death with honor is
called seppuku
Here we hide the traces of blood
dispersement it’s called
the truth sunken
a shipwreck
each one of us, caused
the untimely death of families Pelicanadae,
Delphinadae, they
gave us their vertebrate
when we left the sea
and learned to breathe air
we humans drive cars, blow-dry our hair
mis- understand beauty,
live like drunken sailors
with no tomorrow
The tide washed up cellophane
carcasses, with
lineages that surpass the bloodlines of human royalty
it is our turn to help our brethren
act bolder than love, our choice
a million memories or
nothing
let us return to the sea
hold hands across the sand of our future.
Jackson, I too was born on 10/9/1948 @ 4:15 p.m.. I’ve played, listened, enjoyed music all my life and been a fan of yours, as a human, and your music ’cause it’s just so damn good.
Beautiful, sad poem. Japan’s old tradition of seppuku is way different — their suicide is seen as an honorable way out. BP’s environmental suicide / murder is not honorable in the least. My words, however, cannot fix the Gulf. What can I do, as a person? Plastic is everywhere, integrated into food, hygeine, etc. I want to refuse, but how? I cook as naturally as possible, but yogurt, berries, etc. are all packed in plastic. Shampoo? I bicycle, but my car uses oil. I don’t see how unless I live off the land, and this world has a massive decline in human population, environmental harm will be avoided. Some people have enough money to live off the grid and contribute to helping change things. I don’t have the same financial resources, but I still want to do my part to have the least impact. Help!
We’re a small company that makes fun,clever and amazingly fashionable products by directly re-utilizing post consumer HDPE plastic shopping bags.
This is as opposed to recycling which means the plastic must reenter the industrial stream be sorted, ground up, reprocessed, remelted, redyed,and re-manufactured into new products. All of which we very much support by the way- a give cheers to the folks that do all that. We just skip a few of the “re’s”. We take a plastic bag from the trash melt it together with other plastic bags making non-woven fabric and sew the fabric into stuff. Our process using washing machines, platen presses, irons,sewing machines and hands uses a lot less energy -at least of the fossil fuel variety!- and can be adapted to home industry around the planet. We remain hopeful:) It also allows us greater creative freedom to make really hip designs in short run production.
We dig it!
