Do Up The Flowers
Let's drive them crazy.
"Belief in anything is simply a way of labeling the mystery." Chogyam Trungpa. (Continuously Morphing List of Quotes: APRIL 08; November, 2009, July 2010, June 2017)
Let's drive them crazy.
Don’t know anymore…
three packs of cigs and
half a bottle of rum and
I wake up at 2…3 AM
hoping there’s enough
pot to put me back to
sleep till the sun comes
up.
Tried to help…maybe
did a little…never know…
till the sun comes up
and it all starts over…
What else do you think you have?
A dog? A fancy car? A good position?
Security? Health? A way of life?
Religious belief? Spiritual achievement?
Money? Fame? Power?
Family? Friends? Lovers?
The list goes on….
it’s all a bad investment….
amortization notwithstanding….
just know you’ve been had.
The Kali Lambada….the twittering and swirling horde…
lost in the foam of foment…confused by glittering
ghost dream of Neverland…everland…whateverland…
…marching morons clueless in sunglasses…the big Me…
shooting up Gucci…spree of flailing impostors…the truth
a footnote in someone’s manuscript…
Would the government lie to you? When has the government
not lied to you? Get ready for the big dance…a conga line into
the internment camps…you’ll think it’s for the good of the nation
…until it’s your turn on the dance floor….or is it a slaughterhouse?
You’ll buy anything as long as the packaging is appealing…
Pleasure Island…Pinocchios…puppet people turning into donkeys…
…roller coaster runs out of track…unfinished because of kickbacks
but they’re still selling tickets…the last ride…the last waltz..
the last kiss…last tango as they roll up the floor
and call the end of time.
I saw the breakdown of rational mind
in the progression from the impressionists,
through dada, surrealism, abstract
expressionism, laid out like a dissection.
Send the whole kit and kaboodle to
Antares as a warning. Last one out,
turn out the lights.
Honesty and straightforwardness are gone...
Photos of my vista taken minutes apart
on my computer like being awash on
a sea of Monet waterlilies.
All emotions and thoughts uncoiling
like water lilies…even the seeming events themselves
appearing more and more as dream.
The ups and downs
like Titanics sinking
into the deep blue ocean..
