One Light
The man sitting here,
smiling,
is doing so
because he sees
the light
at the end of the tunnel,
which is none other
than this light
which is an illumination
of this perfect now.

Be Yourself
They used to tell me,
"Just be yourself"
when I was a kid,
as maybe a way
to act on a date
or something,
so now,
late in life,
I have finally
figured out
what it means,
so here goes -
"Be yourself" means
don't be that other guy
who is yourself,
who is that phony guy
who is yourself,
but be, instead,
yourself,
who is not that other guy
who is yourself,
but be yourself instead,
so you see why
I didn't understand
what they meant,
and that was why
my dates
were all
****** up.

Strolling To High Street
Walking up the stairs
out of my new apartment,
I think
I am an early riser,
so I walk
out of the door,
and see the soft pink glow
of the sun
before it rises,
and turn at the road,
strolling up to High Street,
where I cross the road
and walk back
to my apartment,
without having
a cigarette,
even though
I was prepared.

Attacked
So, I woke up
this morning,
and was promptly attacked
by a Chinese martial artist
brain cell,
so I got angry
and decided
that I didn't like
my teachers,
and then
the insane Republican
brain cell,
began to shout,
"Get Busy!",
so I think
I've got
bad brain
chemistry.

Faith
Faith is the belief in the
mind, which sometimes is
absurd. The obvious will
happen always. My pen,
not happen. Miracles
go by the numbers. When
will occur, faith is not
a thing or a thought, but
backed by reason or data
like on the internet. We,
but by the conviction of
our devices, are hypnotized,
the soul in rightousness.

Mixing It Up
I decided
because the mind
suggested it
to do my thing
in a different way

So I did one practice
and mixed it up
with another practice
until I got here
to do this

And so you might say
"So what"
but this has made
a major difference
to me and my
life.

So what?

Power
Looking at history
I see the power
traveling west
around the world
and it seems
like the United States
is losing it
and China
is gaining it
so I think
that power
is not so great
and the happy states
are the ones
without much.

The Cycle Of
There is a cyclic nature to my life.
A wave pattern.
At the bottom of the wave is a psychic prison.
In the prison, I experience a trial.
A metal moment.
This last one was a day and a half long.
I woke up free this morning.

Inner Music
If you do not yet have
a broken record in your
mantra as part of your
daily life, you might consider
personal and spiritual
ear training from a college.
Development, you should
go to music school, so that
not only is the chanting
of music in your head A,
of sacred mantras a
kind of annoying music,
beautiful and harmonious,
like doe a deer, a female
practice, but one that
can leak out all over.  

Song 2
But what is Dharani? It is
an inner song, that I sing,
a sacred sound sequence
that I got from the heart,
in Sanskrit that, from a
different point of view is
yogic perspective, can help
when  am in pain, or
to align us with the
mind to the body, higher
frequencies of the universe,
and can help with trouble,
and prepare us, in many ways,
for whatever life gives
for advanced spiritual
everyday life.
This poem was written using the practice of writing one line from a magazine, followed by one line by me, and so on.

Tricky Mind
Questions move energy and
answers come popping into
without the movement of
the brain, which stays in
energy. There can be no
perfect question or answer
change. Every day she would
think up questions such as
the answers that popped
these. What is it you
are or something? So,
want me to know? How
can make a difference?
Then she would think.

Zen Lite
I have decided
to try
Zen Lite
as an answer
to my Zen life,
and it involves
not going to
the temple,
and not doing
retreats,
and not being
vegetarian,
and only doing
five minutes
of meditation practice
a day,
so instead
of being
a Zen Marine
like a lot of people,
I will be
a light guy.

Why I Love My Brain
What's inside
this head
is a bunch
of words
and music
that lead
to experiences
and that's why
I love it.
I have heard
some people say
that they feel
terrible
when they wake up
in the morning,
and I used to think
that I did too,
so I put
a little Zen spin
on it,
and realized
that the feeling
in the morning
is not terrible,
it is like
being on a lot of
hard-core street drugs,
and I feel
higher than
a kite,
so now,
in the morning,
when I am drinking
my coffee,
I feel ******
out of my gourd,
so that's much better,
don't you think?

THE DOOR JUST CLOSED
but I was not paying
close enough attention
to really remember
the closing of the door

that has books
attached to it
resting in a white metal
     mesh

so I must remind myself
to always be awake!

New Chapter
Who is writing the story
that you are reading? It's
of your life? Is it your
poem that doesn't rhyme?
Job, your kids, your spouse/
house/bicycle/car/motor/
boyfriend/girlfriend, or your
internet connection? If you
or your finances? I have
some money that is enough.
Maybe it's your health or
maybe not, the new chapter
or your parents? I would
go to a store and read
like to suggest that YOU
go there too, or maybe not.

Glee Club Finale
Right when
us glee clubbers
were about to go
on tour,
to someplace
like New York
or England
or someplace,
but I forget where,
I quit,
and the conductor
was furious about it,
and stopped me
on the stairs,
and told me
that I would never sing
in another choral group
again,
but the next semester,
I was singing away
in choral union.
History remembers
certain artists,
who many of us
know about,
and it considers them
the Great Heroes
of art, poetry and music,
but I think
that the true heroes
are the artists
who painted every day
for their entire lives,
and created
great works,
and yet,
had no shows,
and didn't get
into the museums,
and whose great work
was thrown away
at the end of their lives,
so that nothing
is remembered of these artist's work
at all,
and all of their names
are forgotten,
and the true heroes
of poetry
are the poets
who wrote every day
for their entire lives,
and never got published
and never got a book out,
and whose poetry
was ditched in the dumpster
at the end of their lives,
forgotten,
and the true heroes of music
played and practiced and wrote
for their entire lives,
every day,
for nobody
and nothing of their work
remains,
so this night,
I payed homage
to these true heroes,
and felt better
about art,
poetry,
and music.

Too Much
Creating can, at times, be
something that we like,
be stressful. If you're like
a poet on the floor, you'll,
you can find that working
is fun and funny and that
non-stop can all be a bit
like an all-nighter and
too much, or you may feel
manic and nuts, but you're
your creative juices have
become insane like some
run dry. When you feel
crazy, sit down and relax
like this. It's best not
to wind up in the hospital.

ourselves to have a throat
ourselves to feel, think

Gift
In preparation for a gift,
a once in a lifetime
thing, the challenges
that are external
are daunting. You must
go to the Dollar Store
and impose yourself
on a thing and take it
to the inaccessible
clerk. You may flounder
with no direction,
and a feeling of weakness,
which is a symptom
of buying. It is
significant. Many great
civilizations have
effective gifts
from the Dollar Store.

Zeno's Paradox Explained
So, you know,
the arrow
goes halfway
and then
it goes halfway again
and again
and again
and never gets there.
So, that's obvious.
So, you could try
shooting the arrow
and it gets there.
But, that's not
so obvious,
because you might say
"Gets where?"
"I don't know where there is.".
So, somebody points
and they say
"You know. There".
But, since you don't see
anything that he's
pointing to,
you shoot the arrow
and it never gets there.
See...Easy!

When We Replay The Past
I think about my dead
it. Maybe out of a desire
to think about my dead.
To have things done
about the dream I lived
differently - also known
as life with my family.
Also known as regret,
like the time we were,
additionally, it. Maybe,
from an inability to
be happy, like poetry
that releases yourself,
when you laugh. I laugh,
or others, from past words
like ticketyboo or some
actions, like sitting on the
also.

Heaven And Hell Explained
I like heaven
because it's a good life
to live
here on Earth.
I don't like hell
because it's a bad life
to live
here on Earth.
Heaven is where
you live
if it's
a nice apartment.
Hell is where
you live
if it's a bad
apartment
in a bad neighborhood.
Earth
is where we all live.
It's a nice place.
But, hell could be
living in a nice
apartment
in a good neighborhood
but you feel
like there are hornets
inside of your head
flying around
buzzing
and stinging you.
And heaven is where
you could live
in a really
crummy apartment
in a lousy neighborhood
but without
hornets.

Glee Club Two
So, us guys
in the glee club
all went to a camp,
for an orientation,
and we weren't supposed to bring
any alcohol,
but I snuck in
a twelve pack
of beer,
so one night,
a few of us
were down by the lake,
and I put the beer
in the water
to make it cold,
and me and another guy
took a beer
and went off into the woods,
and smoked a joint,
and he told me
that he was an arsonist,
who liked to start fires,
so we jammed
on a log,
and meanwhile,
some young glee clubber
drank the rest of the twelve pack,
and got drunk
and made a fool
of himself.

Dear Faux Zenji
A bodhisattva
lives here
on the computer,
along with many more,
and they often
write poetry,
because their hearts
are ****** with pain,
because we all know
that their path
is impossible,
and no one
will be saved,
but they keep trying
and never give up,
because their hearts
are pure,
so I would tell them
not to watch TV,
because saving the world
requires
that we save ourselves,
because once
the man is saved,
the world is saved,
so be peace,
and peace will spread
like ripples.
