or
I Stole This From Kurdt
The point creates space
and all of infinity
collapses to a point.
Singular Being: Existence exists.
identity or blasphemy
not condescension
only transcendental consequence—
who am I?
I am who I am.
But me and not me,
self and not,
play complements
in
quantum coincidence...
Perception keeps life
reacting to the now—
My hand wringing over
yesterday
brings neglect
and entropy,
today.
I understand that
it makes more sense
to live life
in the present tense.
True words,
and not my own.
I sit,
cigarette lit (I know I should quit.),
sipping my coffee...
have I learned
to accept some friends
of ridicule?
Can I be a disciple of The Clown?
"My whole existence is for your amusement
and that is why I'm here with you."
Follow him to nirvana;
The Jester's only
satirically
a lonely character, right?
Does Enlightenment
silence the dull
and constant
hum
of being alone?
Tongue in cheek,
foot in mouth,
head up ass,
does that make me a yogi contortionist?

ha! i like you because you are way smarter than me. i don't know what the hell you are talking about but i like it anyway.
it's all a parlor trick; i smile and nod and make eye contact, show attention, interjecting "mmhmm"s and "uh huh"s, and then parroting back what other people have said, emphatically, like it's my own. that's the trick. i'm not really that smart. <---see? i don't know enough html to us italics.
A masterful piece of free verse which never loses impetus nor runs away with itself... and I think I have to agree with Marian.. smart as a cracking whip (if smart they be)
again, very kind words, thank you for reading.
