Just There

“I don’t do anything. I just get up.”

from the play: “The Time Of Your Life”

I’m more that way anymore.

We all look back at our lives when we get old.

You will too if you make it that far.

Not many regrets, which many can’t say.

Maybe I did what I was programmed to do

from past karma lives.

Might as well could be that way.

No finish line, no victory parade so I’ll never know.

“ How do we know you’re enlightened?”

one wag asked the Buddha.

“The earth is my witness “ he heard the Buddha say.

At least, he had the earth to hold him up.

Me?

I can’t prove a damned thing.

The good news is, I don’t care.
