Hotel Tepotz

Many check in….

some check out

before they check out.

Like Dia Del Muertos

everyone’s aware

death is in the air

dancing with life

partners in eternity.

Death was once fashionable;

Victorians posed with their

dressed up dead.

It is said

             rugby players

                                   eat their dead.

Having fun at the dance of death,

the last waltz,

coda of the spheres.

Apotheosis

A moment

transfixed by a landscape

not focused on yourself.

A surprise birthday party.

You’re fired

you’re hired

someone gives you a million dollars.

You watch your child being born.

You are with your father when he dies.

You realize everything you know

is wrong.

Treason

It’s not just another four year election.

The future of the world hangs in the balance,

The Covid virus, the riots are manufactured

as part of the war that is taking place.

The Democrats are not democratic.

Their actions are taken from the playbook

of Saul Alinsky….

same playbook as

Mao

Amin

Stalin

Hitler.

“POO”..power over others

is what they want

so only they can be free

to do whatever they want;

despots of the spirit.

The election is the masterstroke

that determines who will win the war.

I would ask them: how does it feel

to be driven to death by your own

steering wheel?

(P.S. Nothing can stop what is coming.)

Sunday Poem

God’s day of rest.

What did he need to rest from?

Maybe he had a hangover from creation

like a drunk waking from a binge.

The worst hangover…..evah!

Maybe he looked at creation on Sunday

with profound alcoholic regret.

He can’t blame anyone.

But I blame God

for everything that’s going wrong.

Eraser Head

A nice cup of coffee…

staring out the window

over the trees

into the valley

fresh with last night rain.

I can’t remember what happened,

only, that there was pain.

not the pain itself.

I remember events. feelings I had,

hardly a glow anymore.

Gyoza and wasabi in the fridge…

just as good cold.

One Clear Moment

At the bus stop…

in line at the DMV…

waiting outside the Boss’s office…

“I think we should see other people.”

on a hike with your son…

with your father in the hospice…

better than nothing.

A List Of Possible Scenarios

Anything could happen

and will or has because

eternity.

“Whatever you can imagine

exists somewhere in the

universe.” (Rinpoche)

So, you see, the list is long…

except when you’re cornered,

when the list is small as far as

your existence is concerned…

but………who’s counting?

Cornered

“Things get very clear when you’re cornered.”

Chogym Trungpa

The truth has us cornered.

Virus: ploy of the Left?

Ploy upon ploy upon ploy?

Cornered in our houses.

Cornered behind masks.

Sheepled into stupor

broken by the truth.

Our very lives are threatened now.

We start to forget business as usual. 

Will our children go back to school?

Can I ever watch a baseball game?

Do I dare to eat a peach?

The overwhelming question

has been dropped on our plate.

Cornered in Tepoztlan,

(I hope the bank machine works),

a good place to die.

Belief In God Is Like Training Wheels

We follow the commandments and try  

to be good Christians to act according

to basic morality. 

If we need teachings to show us right 

from wrong, that’s ok.

But, in fact, goodness is innate and

manifests when there are no obstacles

such as education, brainwashing, bad

role models.

The enlightened beings manifest that

goodness continuously, having clarified

their vision and rid themselves of 

conflicting emotions and primitive beliefs.

They don’t have to try, They don’t have to

remember…they just are that way, 

all the time, effortlessly. 

They are proof of the potential of human 

minds. They are evolved into what we are

instinctively and should become.

Absolutely Not

Nothing disguised as something

everything.

“You can’t fool me!”

Really…?

…too late.

Get back, Jojo.
