Dharma Poem #4

 

The lavender Jacaranda trees will soon be in blossom.

Carnival begins next week…the annual ¨anything

goes¨ week; streets filled with drunks…

a few people will die.

Anything that can happen will happen.

Anything you can imagine exists somewhere

in the universe.

Eternity is daunting, and we´re in it.

Space is endless and we´re part of it.

The play of phenomena reveals the truth:

it´s all a dream…

…nothing really happens.

Memories on celluloid decompose with age.

Multiple witnesses can't agree on what they saw.

The fallacy of misplaced concreteness (Whitehead)

takes center stage.
