bits of molded clay

 

 

it seems like every time people get to

freely self-express, have happy communities,

enjoy a beautiful life, there are people

who NEED to STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

we like what we like for our own

idiosyncratic reasons

we hate who we hate, often for very

poor reasons

with our limited hours why not spend

on our likes and let go of our hates

 

 

 

 

Peace means sane behavior among human

beings that we create a truly beautiful world

for us all to share and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

Not so much social media

as lack of healthful exercise

to work out anxiety

 

 

 

Lonely?  Reach out with

kindness to befriend

 

 

 

Connection

Awe

Ineffable ephemera

Direct Experience beyond

the physical, beyond

defining, outside of

and yet the only

reality

 

 

 

bits of molded clay

reaching to connect

with no valence

 

 

 

All running together

bumping and bouncing in the

foolish fray

None of these really knows

what we're heading toward,,

yelling out memes as if that

were leading or even making

a usable sense.

To find that true guiding,

stand at an elegant apex

of balance, grace, upward, forward,

escape from those running fools.

Take a stance, hold a pose,

that of thinker, of artist

distinguishing prose and landscape

from hysteria, hype, catchwords,

emotional ploys.

Bliss, joy, outside the banners

and crowds -- unlock, expand,

run, jump, play, unbound.

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't it be better

to accept our falterings, learn to

become who we might best be

than drugging into submission

in pretense of normality?

How do we find ourselves

in a world based on lies

on never being good enough

to survive by being real?
