Attaining enlightenment
right now, on this couch,
not in his 'to do' list,
(won't resist a zen moment
if it passes this way;
at the back of the mind,
a thought whispers)

This, cursed  shrink,
certainly blessed, to have a full couch every hour,
is not an unusual kettle of fish,
cook book approach is enough
she believes,
as the problem list of the populace
she has brought down to few items,
such a smarty pants!

"Are you obsessed with ***?"
she pretends to take the bull by its horns,
(why does she look so unkempt?
that really bugs)
May be on a sudden second thought, she
changes the track,
"Is it death that threatens you day and night?"
"Both" says the potato on the couch,
the quiet looking poet type,
with a languid smile,
" are one and the same,
as I see,  from here;
one is so exquisite and ephemeral,
the other, bliss eternal,
after erasing all memories'
