Hard to simply sit
not wishing for that
nor pushing this away
watching your mind
like a caged beast
pace incessantly
pull its own feathers out
trying to escape
the dire wolf
that’s been extinct
for thousands of years.
Your ego says yes
or no
or black
or white
never gray
never OK
driving you
to the Zoloft Store
shut off the judgment
**** the wolf
who stalks you
when you sit.

This refers to the challenges of learning vipassana mindfulness meditation. Your mind wants to keep running in circles, but eventually it remembers - there are no wolves anymore.
