On 'The Wizard of Oz' / A Dream Review

the tin man 
like the truly 
empty one 
he is 
follows his heart 

the scarecrow 
stuffed 
with so much thought 
is being 
mindful 

the lion
is in the act of using
its own thoughts
to deconstruct
belief in fear

dorothy
now knows
oz is but a dream
reawakening one to
home

the heart writes the play
and the mind makes it
mythic
so as to see all the action as
the story of one

follow the heart
be mindful
and don't believe
for you are always home
the absolute I of one

Adult Film

the meaning of the dream 
is knowing it's 
a dream 
or otherwise 
the dream continues on 

without a meaning—
this simple knowing
is awaking
one
as pure awareness

in an insubstantial
unafraid and
undivided
unadulterated
bliss

seven quintets in search of a name

1.
already leaves 
ignite into sky 
as ravenous caterpillars 
burn in the name 
of transformation 

2.
the fox moves
in the moonlit emptiness
silver leaves living
only in the echoing
space-time of mind

3.
July fireflies
in the lilies of my June
imagination starring
Zhuangzi and the Amazing
Magicians of Las Vegas

4.
transformation is
emptiness is
impermanence is
illusion is
is

5.
deconstruction is
seeing no construction
ever was
including the past
tense of is

6.
mercury apollo
carbonated water
cadillac granitic
strawberry arising
being anonymous

7.
blossoming mountain
laurel almost seem
to grow gossamer
brightly closing
my watery eyes

untitled

1.

everything is 
consciousness 
except I 
consciousness is 
I

like
I think
therefore
I forget
I am

fourteen billion years of
working on the night shift
and all I get to wear is
this flower saying
self-aware


2.

I write for nobody
so if anybody hears me
they'll know who
they are
I am

only you
know
if
you know
I know

I am attached
to your dream
at the body-mind's assemblage point
of Hollywood
and I


3.

people are either
builders or
finishers
the fool has no
marble

dream time is
the best time
to be
or
not to be

(i hope kids are still
learning
long division
isn't
the solution

using 80-20
by the seventh generation
from out of one-million
there's like
a baker's dozen)


4.

mystic experience
of the experiential
now
is basically
the assemblage point

touching that
experiential
assemblage point
is like being
the moon

reflecting in the river is the moon
reflecting sun
being absolutely zero
equals I
love

This Experiential Play

Illusions last for more than thirteen billion years. The great enlightened and marvelous evolution is the wizard of it all.

In the audience are those that have been fooled to think they're separate from this wonderful and awesome universe of enlightening intent.

Listen to them laugh and cry. And laugh and cry. And laugh and cry. And scream and die.

Although it doesn't matter what they say or do—it's just a matter of observing what is true, to you. I am.

seventeen imagist chinese haiku tanka omaha

1
practice is type a
logic is type b
paradox is type 3
being is
type

2
if you look closely
you see the world
just as you need it
to be
to know

3
the universe contains this body-mind
and this body-mind is intending
to know I'm not this universe
but the universe is that
I know I'm I

4
paradox is the mother
of all logic
but it only takes one
to form
a religion

5
it's never mystic
because it's personal
and now that it's personal
it can't be mystic
so be it

6
i love love
but the personal
makes me think
it hurts
love!

7
sometimes the crown lies heavy
and sometimes i'm the crown
of all creation in tao
if it ain't one yin
it's another

8
under the influence
of love
it's best to love
before you have the time
to think about it

9
the transmission of mind
is
unconditional love
it's really not
a secret

10
no matter
how hard you try
you will never make the present
an identifiable product of the past
so drop it

11
we may believe
what we've been told
but i am
that
which never is said

12
my job is
to know
I am
thus I do
me

13
just hearing
truth
is like playing
music
in the hemispheres

14
hearing
three
in
five
as one

15
you can't mass communicate truth
it's the matter of one
on one
I speak
me can't hear

16
transformation is
like the seasons of the witch
that is green
this lyric
of the revolution!

17
imagist chinese haiku tanka omaha
original postmodernism
i can't believe
it's still
light

my first latest-further poem

i can only imagine
what death appears to be
to one who thinks
i am something
that is born

plato's free tanka & quantum tao


plato's free tanka

The darkness of a bee
is darting with a spontaneity
across the closed bright blinds—
thus one only sees
the shadow of being


quantum tao

the blinds were suddenly opened
and I was inundated by
green light—
the more focused it gets,
the less I'm able to say

loving at the sign of yin and yang

evolution happensnow

the present isn't drawn in lines

metaphors or myths are necessary butterflies

the way is at the crossroads of intent and sacrifice


not desire or fear but intent and sacrifice

not anarchy or empire but intent and sacrifice

not something or nothing but intent and sacrifice

not intent or sacrifice but intent and sacrifice

transformation is another word for emptiness is not a word for tao

ten thousand tree frogs rattle while two peepers write their death poem

we are the nothing not even nothing crying out we could be something

i am my father’s deserted son we are my mother’s favorite daughter

the river never stops although it freezes over
