Tell Me Something

Tell me something
I can’t possibly know
Conceive a concept
I can’t comprehend
Do something
I can’t possibly do
Amaze me
De jade me
Make my ego die laughing
So that I/Eye am no longer
A thing
Just a node
In the network of
The unknowable concept of no doing

Amazing

Possibly

Full of Empty

Full of Empty
Shattered like trash
Take a bath in monkey’s milk
To wash away this glass

Full of Empty
Beard of world trees
Pack the bag with bubble cake
In case of wobbly knees

As our time slows down
No time for baths, beards or cake
Only carry the essential
Spiral stair static clown
Chip on shoulder
Chopping block
Time crawls now
Over burdened
With all that emptiness
You’re soaking in it now
Arise fool
Full of Empty

Code No Code

Code No Code

Question No Question
Mark my words
Emptiness No Emptiness
Echoes the heart
Boom No Boom
Boxed into a corner
Room No Room
To spare the child
Doubt No Doubt
There be monsters
Fear No Fear
Form one line here

Mind the gap
I No I
You they we
Obey No Obey
Resistance is futile
Code No Code
That’s it
No
That’s it

"Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O what an awakening, all-hail!" from the Heart Sutra where the Buddha teaches the emptiness of emptiness.

Have a happy Memorial Day.
