Future Fantasy #cybercommunities RESIDENCE
The truth of community is face to face closeness and a sense of being one with those you see. This does not mean, no it mandates, privacy and the right to total solitude. This should be visible in the design of communities. Each their own room, their own space. Communities build from the individual out, each person having a joy that can be shared with the whole. We will have this when we undergo the change that signals the meteoric rise of Love Power on our globe. It will be beautiful and true. A world designed to approach truth.
She only needs
a single space and
loves her privacy
No sound intrudes
She is at peace
One surface
is a screen
She has a little
place within
to pee and wash
her hands and feet
Outside a semi-public
space where needs
and neighbors meet
Ten sorts of meals
in a stone’s throw
Ten ways that one
can come and go
Ten jobs nearby
that she can choose
Ten spots at hand
where she can muse
She lives alone
but just today
she looks for a
room-mate
Easily done
she soon finds one
and doubles
her nice space
Spaces are like
Rubic’s Cubes
They slip and slide
around
Within a frame
that will contain all
Sideways
up and down
So residence is spaces
placed as needed
day by day
Within a matrix
that conducts
what comes and
goes away
And private
is what’s
personal
And public
is what serves
the many roles
of neighborhood
the many
needs of all
Where do I live
Where is my home
It’s this community
My privacy
My face to face
My life beyond
All me
