Pea cocking enlightenment
taste the sweet bitter
lukewarm tea washing down
a side of Jesus
so intentional about
what’s in my feed
chew, taste, then swallow
all the food
settle down into
the mind-body, problem
solved in the here & now until
I need to eat
(just give it time)
so, kill the cow
or, kill the King
act like the judge
talk as if there’s knowledge
on the tongue
of all the words
in all the languages
hypocrisy & disbelief
typically, is what I mean
but there is a tune
to hum along
something deep & surprisingly
easy - what it is
I cannot write
I dare not speak
if you have eyes
then let them see
Ain’t much to it to be in the flow
But I don’t know can’t touch the bottom
a rip tide tries to take my soul
Cat got dragged down below saved by a life guard and an angel
what I know is that I’m still learning how to swim in the ocean
Don’t take it too easy, life don’t go easy on me
She’s always hanging with the crowd she knows what life’s about, to dwell and doubt and rise again a holy wind & a lover on occasions we were never meant to be I asked her once what she thought of me. And we went our ways.
I don’t take it too easy, life hasn’t gone too easy on me
I want to know what you meant when you called me risky
And I ain’t coming back to you just asking for clarity
I gotta say, hey baby don’t trust your sanity
This world is spinning so you ought to get dizzy
She ain’t a problem I’m solving variables pop up all the time & I’m just guessing as something hidden under this mise en abymes it strikes a rhyme turn on the dime gotta live life one at at time
4th of July I’m riding bicycles with my rose
I’m on the level up and down in palindromes madam rides my race car trash & blast the vehicle never odd or even, it’s all equal
I still feel those obstacles down every road
Let’s take it easy, oh life won’t you go easy on me
