Some genius and mysticism
is just the common folk
not understanding and
not admitting it.
Why worry about war
if not to sit in
the peace between?
I spend my time
working, just
to rest again.
I wait in
between meals
to get hungry.

it could be nothing
i came about it backwards,
rather than one being one,
and the next to be next,
i picked up arbitrarily
a random piece of the whole
and asked, what could
this otherwise be
a writer
i have been many things, but always a writer. even before i told myself i was, and even when i wish i wasn’t. less so when i’m happy, because it is hard to do anything else when you’re happy other than be that way, let alone to write.
save some waste
sure you save some now,
but how much have you
wasted before?
precarious action
i wish to treat
serious matters seriously,
and have the power to do so,
though i was born
into trivial circumstances,
while my understanding
of both “serious” and “trivial”
are relative and perhaps misguided,
so that acting
is a precarious notion

THIS IS IT
THIS IS IT, THIS IS IMPORTANT – control your mind, do not let it run rampant with its thought, in idleness focus only on the breath, focus also on the beauty outside of yourself and on people especially.
This is the key to avoiding the depression of your ego trapped in your monkey mind; mindfulness is everything, consciousness is everything.
Remember what it was like to be focused outside of yourself on your environment at 2:30 in the morning and then what joy came from opening your window and smelling fresh air, let that gratitude and focus exist outside of yourself in the fresh air.
Thought like river
Watch as thoughts flow through your mind like a river, in between asleep and awake. You don’t remember them; not even conscious that you’re doing the thinking.
Goodbye
wave goodbye
all teary-eyed
in lieu of what
you promised
to whimper when
it was then
that everything
went awry
My words
I don’t read into your words too much; I had my own English teacher.
