It wasn’t
what I
pursued which
brought happiness
but rather
what I
followed having
found truth
beyond what
I knew
Clarity
I am nothing
neither label nor
type an island
I reject affiliation
membership and subscription
I’m not different
I’m not denying
I’m declaring my
independence and autonomy
the desire to
belong becomes baggage
I’ve no identity
I’m a guy
and that’s it
Aliens
Aliens do live
amongst being anyone
who sees differently
than those feeble
fools who constantly
try to shove
what little they
know into boxes
I’m so tired
trying to inflate
the wheezing balloons
of man’s minds
out of breath
I’m just going
to sit now
and watch with
melancholy the very
thing that I
thought might fly
wrinkle and die
Clutter
Clutter comes
when invited
and asked
to stay
why should
unneeded things
occupy space
is space
something to
be filled
or is
it a
place where
breath belongs
Aware
Be aware
be alive
don’t trudge
through life
looking for
stop smell
and see
make note
and relish
be one
with whatever
and wherever
you are
out of
your head
and into
your life
