My Drunken Bodhisattva
 
Buddhist bamboo stands strong
Yet sways flexible right or wrong.
Resisting breaks the stalk,
Surrendering, giving-in creates paths.
Scientific, philosophic, theologic
Thoughts do not reveal my walk.
How I am to exist.  What I am to do.

All we need to do
is to find the right one,
rearrange the equations,
extrapolate the conversations,
and update the vocabulary.

Not settle for mediocrity as a way of life.
Throw the mediocre bums out of office.
Find a cure for cancer, end world hunger,
even keep the world from melting down.
Attenuate greed.

way out in space
out so far
that if a man went that far

to talk about it
he’d be younger
than his grandchildren
…that far out in space
a red giant implodes
slow grey clouds rumble
in gale-warning wind
over the lens of Palomar
but when the game isn’t televised
there’s always the radio
play-by-play

At-a-pinch an illusory surface.
Rucks are crushed points, downstream.
An air-oozing atlas
Of fingerprints, smears.
A bubble ground to its pinpoint
In some see-through, unrevealed way.

It&#8217;s ending but it&#8217;s beginning.
Nothing ever changes
and nothing stays the same.
Truth is in the moment

		<description><![CDATA[growing up inadequacies
motions slow unbalanced questioning
clouds moving far grasping grays
is it better to know or flow with blind hope
to follow each day&#8217;s residue until maybe&#8217;s tomorrow
but a kite can fly only with its steady anchor
as the leashed can never be lost
free as one can be- cautious hesitation, contemplation feels key

sit here, and I wanna be angry,
but it&#8217;s so hard tonight.
There are so many reasons to cry,
tonight,
not one can I find.
not a reason.
Wonder Why&#8230;
I don&#8217;t hear an angry word
all I see is beautiful
everything is dissolved in the night,
it could be &#8217;cause I hear you&#8230;
