Behemoth in the bodhi tree
Pay no mind
Just don't be weak
A lemon with a known disease
Pay no mind
It's one of three
Career entrapped with no degree
Pay no mind
It's only me
Haven't got a rosary
Pay no mind
Your soul's the key
The bodhi tree
The bodhi tree
Is all we see.

I don't feel like reading
I don't feel like writing
I don't feel like living
But don't feel like dying
If hope fills our pockets
Then mines full of holes
Since I don't feel much in there
Only the lint common in clothes
I'm told there's a journey
With only one road
To the center of something
Some mention as soul
And in this center we'd find
What we've longed for all along
Something brighter than diamonds
And shinier than gold
A little piece of something older
Than the oldest of old
It's so incredibly tiny
Yet bigger than us all.
This core, we share between us
Like we're an orange's lobes
Yet there is plenty to go around
And for that, I'm thankful.
And then, having arrived
We rest...

Paint the Earth
And the moon
Give it texture
A random monsoon
Make a baby
Take a breath
Sit back, let chance
Control the rest
Carve a basin
River beds
Give emotion
As a test
Beast of burden
Wild to tame
By intellectualizing brain
...Just hold it in your *****
with a wish of end delights...
...Or tear it all to pieces if it dies...

The Source begets a drip.
The drip begets a drop.
The drop gave birth to a monster,
Which alone did conjure a dot
From the dot inflated dimensions
Rules and laws
Clumps and clots
And in time did organize systems
Centralized masses
Accretion disks and the lot
The masses mastered alchemical crafts
Fusing matter to form more complex packs
And just when it seemed not up to the task
Collapsed
Exploding in a tremendous flash.
And scattered in the remnants
Of dusts and of gas
Could be found tiny nuggets
of shiny gold and dull lead.
All of this complex diversity then amassed
And together they would work to form organic interactions.
Biochemical processes led those cells to adapt
Complexity expanded and evolved on a track.
Cells began working together
And more systems were formed
Specializations took over
Organs sharing what they forged.
Sentience was achieved
In vicious beasts in the seas
Spilling out across the lands
Making wars and achieving peace.
Communities formed
First tribes, then nation-states
All leading towards another
Larger, grander homeostasis
Symbiosis is the goal of this
Selfless harmony for the All
Systems upon systems
Upon systems
Upon null.

The monster is the one who claims the largest following.
The victim will someday switch the role.
For we beat the dog that bites
And mistreat the throne
To rectify
the notions of oppression
An eye for an eye
Now we're all without light.

Everyone swimming
in the confidence of their own assertions.
Yet no one holds the winning powerball.
no one at all.
we've just these crude drawings
That imitate
a scratch and sniff.

here, on the surface of air,
i rest against a substance
that manages to wet my soul.
something tugs and i bob into it.
though I'm quickly ******
right back out as the grip loosens.
an introduction to a terrifying upheaval of what is known and familiar.
another world I've seen there
a place that the words I've chosen
simply can't describe
in mere comparative prose.
what vault of pages holds the phrases
we'd hope could explain and conceptualize that space?
what language contains an account of the things I've seen?
it was then, with ego in shreds,
existentially threatened
and backed into a corner with dread,
having been revealed of
that which exists
and that which does not
that I realized...
This is all we've got ..
The illusion built around us
is but a pack of Lincoln Logs®
We are not yet living
and we're already dead.
And in this, our plot reserved for building Heaven,
we've been so blind as to construct ourselves a hell instead.
now the teachings make more sense,
in this new light ..
as does our tendency
to misunderstand them.
We deserve the world
that we build for others.
Not the one that we build for ourselves
with vainglory in the name of our God.

form another idea.
express another concern.
we'll have a
difference of opinion in the
fullest sense of the word.
forget how much we've been saving.
don't second guess what we've spent.
the cost is lost in the lessons that we
show for in the end.
some people call it the present,
and others call it a curse,
but we can
all agree that our time here
..isn't extracurricular.

a hundred different ways
to throw the chemicals off,
but all you need to know
it's an ephemeral cause.
and even if you're ready
you'll be caught off guard
like cameras
capturing you blink.
for no one is invincible
from visceral law.
emotions can imprison
with invisible bars.
it's hard but you should know
that we can live with our scars.
we'll be paroled
and free.
a hundred different ways
for us to relieve the pain.
each one of them effective
or at least not in vain.
a closet full of skeletons
will take you all day
but will be worth
the WAIT!
and so i hope that you can cope
with what you don't want to feel.
it's easy to concede it
but it's hard when it's real.
our heart's will harden
like a callous, starting to heal.
SO JUST PUMICE IT ALL AWAY!!!
OK?

my tolerance for incompetence
is obviously under modulus
intense tensive stress pressed
upon me
it's no nominal anomaly.
insomniatic consequences collect
with compounding interest
astounding acts of disrespect
compress my lack of patience.
I'm barely present in the moment
often engrossed in intellectual opus
enough with the hocus pocus
this stone just won't produce water
it's hopeless.
open minds let locusts in
and closed ones pay the pope in sin
good folks cope with life
on the inside,
too shy to reveal
they know the solution.
