Singularity

Is this what the Mayan’s meant?
A.I.? The end of history?  2017
is only five years late. Are we, as
humans, starting to disappear?

Worming our way through life,
current of karma, wisdom like a
tiny internal sun teasing us 
towards the light.

Machines will become smarter 
than humans, but, will they be 
as wise or as crazy or as creative? 
What is self awareness?
What is the “soul”?

The Big Bang was the beginning
of consciousness but not wisdom…

…wisdom, which is diamond clarity
luminous feast
off-the-rack goodness…
never began, will never end…
the singularity…boldly magnificent 
simplicity.

To Be Or Not To Be

Life is a trip I don’t want to take again.
Who would want to start over? Forget
heaven, hell, blank nothingness…any
Idea of what comes next…you come
back, it’s as simple as that…and the 
proof is that you’re here, now, with
specific attributes unique to you that
appeared when you were very young,
showing karma manifesting through the
genes.

Whatever actions you take in this life
echo down the aeons and get louder.
If you cause harm to others, if you’re
greedy and selfish, those actions will be
mirrored back eventually in future lives,
whether one is reborn as human or in
some other realm.

As the plumber says, pay me now or 
pay me later...

...or, as the Buddhist says, if you want to 
see the future, look at the present...if you
want to see the past, look at the present.

So, it would be best to forget about the 
whole thing, and rest in non-existence, 
which is not nothingness, but rather mind
where complexities such as organic 
existence don’t arise…

…but that takes some training.

Ecstacy

gateway boulevard vastness
of one moment’s just being there
“Did you see that!?” too late…
death by snake bite, if it was
a snake…

now is always right on time…
it takes adequate courage not to
waver from what’s in front of you

chromatic flirtation sudden delight
acute giant brilliant perspective
glimmering glister sans fathead

Yada Yada Yada

“Elvis died when he went into the army.”  John Lennon

Beautiful day, as it will be all winter…
blue sky, lushgreen after rainy season.
There are people that fight for the truth,
and those that fight against it….not much
more to say about that, really…

“No child actor was raped during the 
making of this movie.”

spread-eagle window dressing
walking coma
precognitive dissonance

Self doubt happens when ego experiences 
uncertainty of existence…life is not academic.

honeysuckle suicide sounds good
cideshow ballistic dreamland
don’t forget to feed the cat…

Sky Poem

music wafts in air invisible
dancing flowing unthinking
heart expands into space
boundaries fade to perception
wisdom shows as phenomena
questions disappear...

in the middle of things is where
we always begin, which proves
eternity...endless bookends to
this brief encounter we feel 
is such a big deal...

we are in space, pervaded by 
space, little more than space
with an attitude...

Our mother? The sky. Father?
A case of mistaken identity.

Poem For eecummings


“Here is a rubbish of human rind
with a photograph clutched 
in the half of a hand
and the word ‘love’ underlined.”

Bulging soul on street corner…
proud hush
powerless raw island
brutish goofball crackdown
earthborn arbitrary mystery
decadent republic
random mob
blended bland
sadness, eternity, heartbeat
hallucination.

“Here is a dog of no known kind
with one white eye and one black eye
and the eyes of its eyes
are as lost as you’ll find.”

Blade Runner


A coke machine releases a stick of dynamite…
aquamarine gushing sex computation imaginary 
godless…
hideous mystery blender abandoned junkyard…
hyaenas blaze absently in noon sun meat dream….
elephants take a large powder…
ambient grid cortex amazingly plays vampire.

A wolf bursts into flame…
alienated awakening herd doubtless insane…
too late for anything but patient nuclear unliving…
a bellyful of hoodwink doom.

How am I doing so far…
pesky atrocities continue to bumble…
flaming hearse almighty…
don’t I have anything nicer to say…
