—in the beginning was the sound of one aum clapping——and then there were strings——the orchestra said to itself, i am——and on the thirteenth billionth year or so, i rested—

innocent prophecies - 27 - the gods

—the gods aren't dead; they're using doublespeak——all the little gods are fighting for your identity——the gods now go by the name of beliefs——identification with belief is equivalent to worshiping a god——atheism is particularly sad: worshiping the god that says it isn't a god while bowing to all the little pet gods of materialist beliefs——jnani or bhakti: either kill all the petty tyrant gods or surrender to the one true god of unconditional love—

—a turtle crosses the road to reach the yellow line——a blackbird sits on a snake of high wire——fish are jumping over ten thousand moons——the sun god dreams this sacrificial fire—

—outside, pleasure boats announce the coming summer with silver wakes and waves of cool cobalt attention——inside, a breeze insinuates the flowered curtains and stirs the furniture with impressionistic patterns——here, a sleeper is dead to the world, knowing only its motionless bliss——unknown to all the above, before the big bang and after shiva has blown out every solstice candle, i simply watch—
