Sunlight kaleidoscopic/ hue of auburn mirror nearby the shaded opal porch/
burning bulb machinery makes the whole living room wider/ I wake and remember dreaming that I broke my nose/
"The Art of Looking Sideways" on my desk the bookshop explosive PIN The Price is Right coffee mug (dad got it in California 2008) outside looking in thru the bedside window/ dusty blinds stone faced from sleep/ thoughts are still wandering Luang Prabang gathered to the streets to give alms to the boys practicing Asceticism yet still obsessed with love whether they know it yet or not/ open my front door in this basement suite the brick is bright and blinding squint my eyes tho it's lovely the spiders hover camouflaged in hedges separating my house from the other house/ I'd like to see Laos in person one day beyond spirit to get sunburned and somewhat holy write my poetry in front of Haw Kham's aureate walls jeweled with palm green/ lucid thoughts/ I'm a pilgrim in my paracosm/
Morning tea, sat down, Cafe Terrace at Night to my left and to my right the hazy lamp that has a shade textured like a gas planet May is 'round the starry bend/ Cherry trees are more comfortable now I think and that's fine/ Met a gypsy on the bus two nights ago she wished me a happy life I hope so ... and likewise to you/
