Movement

Nothing is ever still….
even the boulder is teeming…
there is never a period…period…
Beethoven’s Third, first movement…
says this…yes…then this…but wait…
now this…no…no...no… it’s not over
even at the climax…we are born in the
middle of things…middle because no
beginning, no end…no conclusion …
an Everest if ever there was one, but one
that goes on forever…no peak experience …
Gold Medal Olympian wakes up, sees the
Wheaties box on the wall…it’s not even over
when the fat lady sings…there is just one
poem, one song that goes on forever…

Three Gentlemen

Three gentlemen: now you see them,
now you don't... left the action leaving
only traces; meetings with remarkable men.

We'll all go this way...vanish into non-everything...
and when the door clicks behind us, the rest will
go on, forgetting once again it's all a dream.

On the Anniversary of the Parinirvana of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche

With VCTR

Sometimes it was pleasure…
sometimes it was pain…
always crystal clear intensity
like standing next to blast
furnace of precise seeing…
like being onstage in front of
an infinite audience of one…
standing on earth, yet falling
through space, the damndest
feeling…like wanting to jump
out of my own skin: excruciating,
adamantine…empty.

Cyclical

Life cycle of insects…
Ages of Man…
The seasons…
The rise of intelligence
through evolution…
History…
Social Orders…
Planetary systems…
Galaxies…
The Universe…
Scaleable.

April Fool

In an amazing development today
the governments of the world agreed
to stop serving the self interest of
corrupt, greedy, insane, world
destroying individuals and institutions,
and turn the world back into an Eden
based on common sense, the benefit
of all beings with an emphasis on
creativity, replacing the myth of
social Darwinism.

In a related development, Hell froze over.
