soul responds to silence
picture all the world at once

aching at the sudden light
across a wild clouded sky
closes like the fall of night

Let me be Miss Olive Oyl

I'll admire your muscles

Hear the Great I Am
proclaiming the great "I Do"
Wile pointedly glaring through time
at all of us - me and you.

The great eye sees,
and knows us, every one
It finds that nothing ever changes
since the world's begun.

As you have dreamed your dreams
some of them have become mine
mother to daughter it seems
is the way our way we find.

How sad to know
the great "I" doesn't matter.
Oh, well, it seems there's
another dream shattered.

RE: Ken ye Zen, then?

Callously I view your plight,
from ankles down to toes.
Journeys start with just one step
as everybody knows.

toes like old cashews,
painted flirtatious red
incongruous though they be
they show that I'm not dead.

How now, Ken's Zen?
Are you meditating?
Conquering internal worlds,
or just extrapolating?

Is the I Ching your thing?
Have you the nerve for Nirvana?
Well, East is East and West is West,
and getting there is hard on my feet!
