I hope to begin
My retirement soon

I talked to a teacher
Who had just retired
"I'm finally free"
She said
Lol!

Free from what?
You were suppose to enjoy it after all

Freedom is doing what I love
Freedom is being a teacher
When I begin teaching
I will be entering into
A permanent retirement

Non striving
Let the times pass through
Cessation
Extinction

Gone beyond
All topsey turvey absolutes
This phrase I remember
From Allen Ginsberg's rendition
Of The Heart Sutra
