he cried

in that conversation
he knew not why
nothing obvious
no one died
but just a precariousness of situated pretentions so fragile and buffered with such SUBSTANTIAL defenses no it couldn't be it was not possible people live this way everyday ongoingly
so he cried
and they carried
him away.

trying to convince someone

of a certain something
it was so important
we created a group
and we marched
and were so convinced
that anyone
who did anything different with
their life
was seen with suspicion
and skepticism
because we were on a mission
why didn't they join
us why didn't they
why did we so often feel so damn
alone

and so i found myself

with a night
in which i did not have
a thing
to do

like a wisp of dust
on a saturday afternoon
in a forlorn desert

and i flicked
and i flipped
until all the channels had been seen
all the news was old
all the models tired

there was no more
there
only
here.

fear

teaches
immobilizes
silences

in a gentle slyness
in a wry aside

it makes fools of us
it shows us
nothing

it is as big
as we can imagine

but cannot stand up
to a giggle

a preponderance of disturbance

a zig-zag existence

a lack of clarity

a boundlessness

unknowing if an end
is even possible

no explanations
no explanation
no ex-plantation
no execration

relation

station

ingratiation

life has become too easy.

being still

in the shrill
get my fill
of the frill
ever will

with my quill
rising hill
wait until
on the sill


a fragility
delicate
grasp
last
gasp

inhale

Every moment teaches

wherever i go
whomever i talk to

a cop gang member surfer stripper professor mathematician waiter soccer fan soldier agent entrepreneur writer cleaner poet wanderer musician

that i knew
showed me this

and i forgot

i am trying

to remember

Don't embarrass the Buddha! - Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

Dancing!!

No disappointment

is ever bigger
than this JOY

this cockamamie
GIDDINESS

this BJORKINESS
and EINSTEININESS

just a big whale, man, shwooshing through the deep wide blue

and any negative comment or look or whatever
is my new best friend.

Remember

to thank

the person who rejects you

for saving you the hassle

of being involved with someone

who doesn't want to be around you.

Perhaps

What we need to arrive at
May be arrived at
By going
more
slowly.

Realizing

Meditation,
Called a practice
Is done for this moment
Now
So that it is impossible to tell
If I am meditating
Or not
Anymore.
