Here I sit all on my own
with noone else in sight
I don't mind if it's dark
or if there's some light

My company is fine for me
I don't need someone else
I've said so much all these years
I've no tales left to tell

The year is new they say
but seems to be the same
The people that I've known for years
play the same game
Cats and dogs don't celebrate
don't even know the date
To them there's nothing new
They're never early never late

It's Christmas time on earth
as we reveal
our astronomical ignorance
Poets discuss
the movements of the moon
rhymes and runes
where we are
what we see
and the direction
of our
trajectory

Rejoice in every moment
when the madness is seen
when a wedge is driven
in the dream

when the lies are not believed
by an awakening mind
and there is no searching
for things we cannot find

Rejoice in every moment
while the chains of karma break
link by link
and we awaken

Today another body-bit
bit the dust
twenty-four more teeth
will join this tooth
one day
somewhere
when that’s the end of this

Bits of body bits of mind
things we see but cannot find

They laid me down
stared inside
my open mouth
and took away
my old tooth
and my pain
Now I know
I’ll never be the same

Bits of body bits of mind
things we see but cannot find

I wondered today
if anyone has wondered
whether there is a center
to the universe
Godgle told me that
others have wondered
not about the wondering
but about the center

I am still wondering
no longer about the wondering
but about the center

Why does my body
rebel against my wishes
to walk or to talk
to tidy my house
to wander the world
or work?
Do I really need to sleep
to dive so deep
beneath the waves
of the day
to  run so far away
