Apex ZeroingA Poem by Ben
Am I expanding or condensing my awareness
Making myself more elaborate or more settled Am I putting things in my mind or am I after extracting things from it as I dismantle them Can I say anything with real certainty and conviction Or is that your jurisdiction In the room who harbors knowledge, familiarity, acquaintance, with more of it Is it all about who lived more years than who Or can an old person be old but not wise Selective adaption Individualized pre-destination Approach specific formula Re-enforcement stronger than cocaine Of results specific pains, I.e. Labors Pleasure in our hedonism Feeling alive In our life Monastery master, reduces all stimulus and mental activity to supreme splendid dullness All blips and spikes of pleasures are small All sensation is heightened and sharpened through transcendence, That is, transcendence, out the other side of the veil ness, out of a want for wanting, needing or as they say, desire and Nietzsche shouted at the end of his life value, it was something about the value we placed on any and every several thing Re-enforcement to my ultra-unique idiosyncratic eccentric meaningless-a-thon. Re-enforcement for whatever really. We re-enforce ourselves But not with mushroom soup, you see! A splendid taste of eternal infinity And the glimpse as well of the squabble little life we lead Out of boredom, bent on drama Our life unfolds expectedly, resignededly, condemnededly, predictably, and busy-boding along, we deflect pain, and see-saw clout Muster along our proud shell Beat on our broken drum, transmit our tiny stations, emit a smell, express our back and foreground, as a flower or squirrel, python or river exhibit and express theirs, based on where they lie and breathe We are oblivious to ourselves pre-requisite due to minds health Older people see right through, they were and are sexual deviants too You know, the urge of all urges the drive of all drive the hope of all hopes, scheme of all schemes Hidden daydreams, vacuum of the mind and soul For a man, the black hole that, as the Tibetans say is the reason you see everything around you and the singular self-same reason for all things And for me, the thing the undoubtedly occupies all of our minds from 13-60 But we're tame, too tame And we do grow old and less formal, eventual we blush not at all Ive heard The leather on our heart grows layers of leather or rust or iron We loose not only virginity, but cheat-ginity, f**k up a good thing, a good relationship-ginity All kinds of things occur But it's all about that a-euphemism black hole concept, speaking truthfully Ignoring something, blocking something out All the indirect, two or three or ten steps removed All the misplaced, repressed, motives ... It does no good All religions and traditions say watch out for, through their condemnation of desire But they don't say watch out for the by-products of repression and self-importance They do, also say know yourself, and I think that fixes it all Of all the literature in the world it was the Greeks and their skeptical tradition The Greeks and their, duh, inescapable focus on the health of ones mind that is singularly the wisest thing I've ever read, the wisest thing for me, in my memory, that was ever said © 2014 Ben |
