Lucy told me yesterday
I've got to live another way
The little bit of hair that's left
Is getting very grey

She said 'Flap that bodhisattva wing
You've got it all wrong
Your other wing, the wisdom wing
Is way too strong

You are long in the tooth
And there are two types of truth
There are two types of bliss
You're giving one of them a miss

Stop looking for laughs
Mr. Airbrush Man
You keep on covering it up
Whenever you can

Suffering is serious
And it's a sin to smile
While the mice are in such misery
All of the while”

She's not just a pretty face
She can be wicked with her words
Carving morsels of wisdom
That need to be heard

This has been forbidden fruit
For oh so many years
And I can't explain why
I've never given it a try

Maybe
Today
Will be the day?

Moments

If you take some LSD
You can see
Moments
With your eyes
As they pass you by

Sixty moments per second
I am told
By a wise man
Who knows

But another wise man
I know
Who knows
Said two hundred

I suppose
They measured moments
Differently

Master Magician

I'm afraid of my shadow
Most of the time
Wandering up and down,
And all around
The pathways of my mind

What do I see
And what do I find
I only see me
And my own mind
À mirror of madness,
Alice holding up a looking glass

Showing me things that are not there
Things that won't be found anywhere
Dream-like manifestations
From the hands
Of a master magician

Either an ocean
Or a wave, you will be
Concept inspired by a Leonard Cohen quotation, which I am sure was inspired by a Buddhist Philosopher who was inspired by Buddha

I'm stuck inside
The psychosis
I know this

I have a doctoral degree
In Reality

I have been taught
The architecture
And structure
Of the grand psychosis
I know this

I have been goaded
I have been guided
I have been shown
Inside
The minds of men
Who whirl around
Their imagined worlds
Boys and girls
Unaware
Fighting phantoms
In thin air

I should dis appear
Yet
I find myself
Still
Inextricably
Involved
In ordinary appearances

I'm inside
The psychosis
I know this

HELP!

Blesst are those who move in and out of rooms.
Who make way in the night for sunrise hours to grace them sleeping.
They are the ones to whom this world spinning of people is trusted.

and those who sit outside the spinning,
outside and wetting with the dew every inch of skin
and cloth that they claim their own,
sitting in no throne,
hold no claim over any world or room,
they too are blesst.
They make the Earth to be spun,
to be whole under every star,
breathing and keeping nothing but that dark warm,
forgiving all trespassers, as they are this land,
these trees,
the waters still swirling and sinking into their skin.

All others watch in awe the fire making one moment out of the last, making that past into the next seeing thing shining eyed being.

Hardly, my friend.
The Dharma shrieks
a diamond radiance
from my heart.
I do not fear
the turning
of the wheel.
I revel in it.
I made this world;
creator and arbiter.
I control my destiny
by controlling my self.
I choose how to live,
where to live,
with whom to live.
I know what I need
and take it.
I make my desires
into my truths.
My karma is strong.
It is not my karma
to surrender, ever.
My other lives
roiled with war,
death and destruction,
but never surrender.
What to fear in this one?
Only fools fear death.
Death leads to the Bardo
and the Bardo leads
to another try
at conquering life.
I sit where I am
and I choose who I am.
My heart feels
the circle turn
and I exude its
diamond radiance
once again:
action in inaction;
order in chaos.
I make my freedom here
in the still spoke
of the spinning wheel
we call life.
Let the Universe
look after itself.
I have other worlds
to conquer.

Buddhism, like Anarchism, is not passive.
Look,
the point is
there is no point,
so get over 'finding' one,
and start ******* making one.
That is the ******* point, right there.
..raw..
-
I'd say
'I'm going crazy'
if I did not know
my intended heading
and what little deviation
has truly been allotted, so,
let's agree to call it
'going crazily'
instead, okay?

Okay.

Now,
be on your way
and I'll do the very same.
We'll see one another
when we're each ready to arrive
where we all once knew
we need to be.

See you there, again
there and then,
but I'd hope even sooner.

Blessings upon thy Path.
See you in the Light.
It's one of those nights, y'know?
..so raw and empowering..

Are you the dynamic person you said you are 4,000 years ago? With no intoxication the conversation’s a bore. The stakes aren't high enough. I’m conditioned by the narrative and we’re all pretentiously pedantic, spewing poison at the heroic romantics.

I've lost my coper’s cloak. I remember how I dropped the dry ones at the river bank, I cut off my imitator’s finger, and as I fell into the tiger’s pit, I grasped a strawberry to make me sweeter. I crowned the beast a hero, cause out of perfect tiger dharma he tore off the limb that led him from his prison. Yet, the human dharma is to save all beings from our reckless peering.
