Peace is every step, and so is it's opposite The boys who said no and the ones who couldn't The hippy freaks and diggers I have a dream The angel faced killers shooting each other in the mire I hate the smell of ****** in the morning ARVN, VC, NVA, USMC, These acronyms that Sanitize the unspeakable death that permeates this place For what? Every time we say never again, what'd ya learn? A generation of broken hearts, marred forever.

Big mind, open mind, beginner's mind, Do you MIND!? Y(our) stance, y(our) opinion, y(our) ideologies are worthless. Y(our) hate, y(our) judgment, y(our) dogma is worthless.

Big mind
Archaic comfots Onward to antiquity Acts of simplicity to heal the mind Write the letter, read the book, cut the cord Revelation of silence for a brain rubbed raw From drowning in an ocean of trivial madness, to reclaiming our birthright of peace It is not just good, it is absolutely indispensable

Off the rails
What is Zen? As it relates to me, you, us, now. Carving out the right to exist. Nowhere else to be. Nothing else to do. Dedication to nothingness. Eihei suggested you and I sit down. Stepping on that edge of restless wandering. I think I'll keep doing it.

Just sitting.
Cooler than cool, larger than life. Too freaked out for the squares, too square for the freaks. White panther wisdom.   What it means to be a father and a man. We always knew, big boy day. Boundless memories since the beginning of time. Lucky monkey, Pair-O-dice. We here now. Round peg, square hole, benevolent giant. Kick out the jams ************

Big Love
These are days I am fed inspiration by every fractal of light that passes through the field Everywhere my eyes fell there was life This corridor between lanes of madness and ineptitude Natural tranquillity creeping back in on the margins, wherever a berth is given Gnarled cypress, veteran, relic of time before the decimation A ****** of crows is not burdened by the thinking mind They disappear into her embrace because they were born knowing what to do

Sweetie, I'm sorry that I keep staring at the other boys. And keep thinking of the other girls, But if I'm being honest, If you ever left me Love would be a forgotten feeling That I never want to reclaim. I may crave the skin of others, But my beating heart is in your hands.
