Hot Water

The geological setting
of my apartment
in Iceland
is a bit dirty.
A country that spans
the length of my room
with two spreading
drapes that cover
tectonic plates
means nothing to me.
The island is a literal
paradise in summer,
a hotbed of geothermal
underwear
activity.



A completely untrue poem

Road Trip

Yourself drive or you
ride, whether along byways
on of an ribbons expert.
Endless led country's 
tour, the iching along
to take. It, it
see all to in way
here better. Are no
five, there's gorgeous,
and drives scenery.
All beautiful member
of favorites bounty
and states don't united,
don't the.

Conflict

Self, inner, and the, the result
with will, conflict, will
cause, cause eventually
in will, almost this. All
be all should relationships.
We difficulties what
that or that are, are
we rooted who in us.
Conflicting telling or
others ambiguous to
expectations listen.
Around instead and
our self roles
with and present goals.
Not personal are and
we professional when.

Time

Same time the there
at, are other a each
lot about know things.
Don't that couples couples.
Many can that discuss
things, which of can
lot (actually a help), are
deepen there. Their
discovered relationship,
I and exploration create
some more, after
intimacy, however.

All Of These Perspectives

Listed above to know the real,
you, patiently connect your
world, the alternative,
would. They respond, knowing
the air is clear, when
such a person believes
in the world, or, it can be
viewed. There is no blame.
They judge nothing. All
of these perspectives are
never solved. This can
be viewed, waiting patiently,
in a higher perspective.
Watch your world blossom
as to what is wrong,
in ways, then the universe
comes from what their
actions in the unity of life
watch.


An improvisation 
from a magazine 

Kongsaeng's Notions About His Mind

Inside,
while contemplating,
Kongsaeng has one voice
which is me/not me,
and another voice
which seems to be
other/not other,
and a simple repeating song
sung automatically,
but Kongsaeng's me/not me
is not in his voice,
because Kongsaeng
seems to be
just this guy sitting here
who is watching and listening,
and he has no "own self"
but is rather
form which is emptiness,
and when Kongsaeng
is meditating
the voices quiet down,
but the song
keeps playing
along to his breathing,
so I guess
Kongsaeng has no real self
that I can talk about,
except for this guy here
moving his fingers around.

Somebody Up There

As a kid
I heard the song
about somebody
watching over me,
and in Lutheran church
I heard about God,
and all through
the rest of my life
I heard about
higher powers
and bodhisattvas
and angels
and devils
and a great amount
of higher powers
who would watch over me,
and guide me,
and then it struck me
this morning
that somebody up there
or down there
or wherever
may be controlling me,
and I might not like
what they have in mind,
so after a lifetime
of prayer and meditation
and chanting and bowing,
I tend to like
the idea of Bodhidharma
who said,
Vast Empiness Everywhere,
but I still think
there is somebody up there
and I hope
they like me.
