Joshua Brown
I cannot tell the time to rhyme
For if my soul had bought the lime
And cast it out to foster growth
I'd see that raven and I quoth:
Trickster, trickster that's my name
Bringing masks to hide my shame
Shame on you and shame on me
For women's lust, from it we flee
Lust to live and not kill self
Lust to breed and gather wealth
Here we run from them their will
To push us hot; to pay the bill
Grow up fast and fight back hard
Against machines bewarned by bard
Dreams galore if we could wake
Dreams of burning, godless lake
Push and prod by Tsimshian lot
Tribes that speak the Smalgyax thought
Divide the raven, divide and reign
Divide the self, accept the pain
Potshot sent across the bow
A violent anti-natal vow
To kill the two point two estate
And end the lineage. Chosen fate.
Could bots become our progin kin?
Could we by life in marriage sin?
Thrust upon that progress hard
Come on, join in, escape the yard!
Me Plus, what? And what plus me
That darkened murky process see
Awake to her and wake her up
Our self, against the lazy shlup.
Chief estate inherit name
A dying, orange-ish, flickering flame
Mocked by her who pretends dead
To take by lust and give him head
Bite the bullet, take the reigns
Embrace the name or be in chains
To time allow by virtue lost
That ghoulish me, his marriage cost.

Thanks for reading this poem! In the Tsimshian Texts, the mythology starts with a Chieftainess who lusts after a new man. I also just happened to be thinking about what makes men great husbands and fathers including what biological needs women have in relationships. There is a concept called Me Plus, that is part of deconstructing female dating tactics within the manosphere, and the idea is related to feeling like you are not good enough to be friends with people or in a relationship with a woman or man without bringing something to the table. And the reality is that, that is partly true, not that you aren't good enough, but that it is essential that you respect and understand the empirical parts of collaborating within friendships and relationships.
Be respectful of yourself and your needs and desires, but respect also the cold hard facts of how the family and children actually will survive and thrive. Whether in the context of a modern consumer state but even in the hunter and fisher context, you have to think, plan ahead and provide for your family and children. Bring Home the Oolies is the Tsimshian version of Bring Home the Bacon!
