Hand Over That Mountain

If you are reading this poem on a phone, note that the integrity of the lines, a major feature of poetry, is not displayed properly. Many if not most get cut short because of the small screen.
I’m sorry, but
no matter what you believe you’re gonna come here.
Before the railroad tracks are finished
people come here
to get all the way to science
and beyond,
to know they’ve come far.
We’re strong views.
We’re rebel.
Look normal.
We haven’t come up with a big movie yet.
It’s impossible.
No one wants to change the world.

Everyone’s got their cliffhangers on.
They’re mean and nasty
to the price of change,
to real change in their hand.
We’re on limits.
You can’t spell change.
Everybody thinks it’s in your diet and food,
or political views,
or in how you diet hang out,
or in how you sex hang out,
or kind of man you have,
I mean the humanity you keep.
Do you follow the rules
of this persuasion?

An opening,
the availability of consciousness,
it’s not in your yard yet,
even if you do study your dreams.
“I’ve been in a dream group for 40 years,”
she told me,
“I see the mundane as everything.”
You can’t lizard
the mundane is all I see;
I don’t see the world in a glass.
You can't say like that
and expect to get out of it
more than it has.

You’re only interested in the world that you see.
Where is your bigger notion?
What are you looking at?
Oh hey,
all the religions are an attempt
to get us across
a bridge that won’t hold our weight
or allow us to cross
if we’re human.
They don’t change your consciousness.
They’re a system of rules and beliefs
and practices.
They’re not the main front.
You are a really good person because of them
or really on their side.
The chances of you stumbling upon enlightenment,
even if your religion reaches that far,
tell me they’re great.

I am the light of the world—
holdin’ consciousness.
It’s bigger than you think.
It’s got sleeves on it.
You can study the world through there.
I’ve opened up a big one,
the inner voice and vision,
what’s you’re listenin’ to right here.
I mean that’s on the radio now.
Shakespeare left out the spiritual bits
you know,
as this is not unknown
poets write.
Do pause it we can
and throw it out our window,
Mr. and Mrs. Public Mind,
the Flintstones.
Let’s sing, shall we?

All in a day’s work,
that’s the Munchkins,
and we proprietor our list
further afield.
There’s also the vehicle of consciousness itself,
direct seeing.
It has modes on it.
You see the world touching itself,
even on your inside.
You see it aware of itself
in your thought throes.
You know you are the larger organism
evolving in man.
Then there’s the sleeve of spiritual vision itself.
You see the world not in it.
These are huge immensity spheres
the world is just a part of.
It’s got Gods in it and Queens
and everything you look at
that’s invisible here on earth,
the spiritual knowledge part
you open your eyes to,
the direct experiences beyond belief.

Okay we’re singing rain.
Things still fall apart.
You lose your loved ones
and die.
You have a bad day.
You get your fingers crossed.
Oh God hallelujah,
you see the end of the world.
Now let’s climb out of this, shall we?
It’s good
to see beyond the world.

Now I can’t get yah up there,
on infinity’s plane,
on the real you,
on the individuality that you are God
that just as startlingly made a world
to descend into,
the whole cup,
in the maturity of its spheres.
I can’t get yah up there but I can try
to get you beyond the world
in your anal sphincter,
in that most bottom place you see the world.
It’s all symbol and wrought.

We live in a game
that none of our games measure.
It’s not a flippant to the wind.
It has purpose and time
and is goin’ somewhere.
It’s bigger than anything you do
or that you can think out of,
is the holder of time
transcendent of it.
It doesn’t bottom out the world.
It’s these glory stakes.
A Power has come down from on high
and smote open the Void.
It happens
nothingness takes on forms
we inhabit.
Buttressed up by the Void,
we’re not gonna have a good time,
or all our good times
will be shadowed by doom.

We are experiments
in world making,
but we are more than that.
We are the spirit in the machine.
We’re not just Void forms.
God inhabits us
like his wears,
and the final Mystery we cannot penetrate
inhabits us and God.
There are more levels than you can shake a stick at,
using words of ours to describe the unknown,
to the All-Immensity Everything
that goes down to our toes
closer to us than us,
fields beyond this Earth.

I’ve taken you that far
in the measure of this poem.
I’ve shown you immensity.
I’m a traveler you see.
I’ve been up there on high
a brief moment,
and I’ve stepped in enlightenment a time or two,
and here I’ve given it to you,
a way out of this mess,
a higher calling,
a way to get your feet on the ground.
It’s an opening in the consciousness you see,
wide open exploration
of this thing called you
in every door inside you can find,
until the world shuts off
its all there is.

You grow in consciousness
to encompass the world,
spiritualize everything you see…
Hold on,
this is not a play God worship triangle.
You realize the larger You
beyond spheres,
and you rest in that notion,
and you take that car
to enlightenment and beyond,
and you get there
sooner or later.
Death cannot stop you,
and the next life can’t impede.
You are so window
the life in front of you.

Can you see beyond time?
Your origins speak to your gulfs
you are bigger than time,
and your gulfs can feel that,
even in the midst of misery,
and I’m tellin’ yah how
to lift yourself out of it.
You see the truth of things.
You see their representative nature.
You know you are a hero
in some goddamn movie
where the movie making art
has reached the skies,
a film with bad junction,
confusing the shit out of us
here and there,
but it’s home itself
under the wood,
in its crossbeams
enlightenment
sticks its face in.
It’s another place entirely
the bended world that you see.
Am I gettin’ my point across?
Do you see it?
Do you know it’s there,
the
way out of trouble?

And we’re goin’ beyond science now,
with its clipped outlook on things.
Forever know
in matter’s field
matter is all there is,
or the building blocks of matter
all put in a row.
They can’t see the larger field.
Science is blind to immensities.
Universal laughs
count its sums.
How diamond is that,
science has not reached its zenith yet?

Pale immensities blind its urge.
The starry star field space
and cosmic uncertainties
sheriff its notions,
and even atoms ride this dance,
the subatomic swirl.
I cannot count to you science’s sums,
but it’s not looking for meaning
in this grand design.
Pallid parts,
a working whole,
dumbly do their duty.
It has no imagination afar,
and it doesn’t care to look.

Consciousness is to it a vague table
it does not know the meaning of,
matter designs,
spits out,
and the ghost in the machine cannot be found.
Matter is a bridge to cross
they do not wire consciousness in.
This baffles them.
All the firings are there,
all the many sounds,
but consciousness is not a thing to behold.
The experience of self
eludes their grasp.
A sudden actor upon the scene,
or does self and being go way back?

Consciousness is the ghost in the machine,
and we would find it there,
our meaning,
in great explorations of consciousness
that find common ground.
Study those,
enlightenment’s sphere,
as a vehicle of consciousness,
not a who-done-it,
and all can find the well of soul,
falling down the chute of consciousness
all through dream to it.
You’ve been there before,
in dreamless sleep,
all your lives.
It’s a good night’s sleep,
the trudge on children
in waking them up,
if you want to know the truth.
They’ve been down there you see.

There’s no way to go down there for memory.
You will never think there before
you consciously enter the chute and go there,
and there’s the hells of our long road,
and the other side,
the city of the dead who are living
a different kind of life,
slow, as the sun
that cooks our Earth,
is not there,
and who can make it to the other side
of life and death and enter Heaven?
And I have not counted all,
the common locations to us all
in the realms of consciousness,
only what I myself have experienced
and know is there
the whole of humanity join me
in its stories and lore.

There are common locations to us all
science can seize
by a collective looking
not bound by science.
Imagination’s down there
and our own fantasy realms
and the inner experience we have,
but we can break some ground, you know,
in identifying locations.
I have been a rocket ship
on a moment’s par
and lifted my head out of the universe
in impossible sun,
into the larger field we are,
into the glory ride.

What can I tell you about it?
You hear all these poems.
I can’t get science there
in its studying arm,
its microscope,
its larger then field share,
and it won’t give me credit for my see,
but truth follows truth,
and we will arrive beyond the universe one day
with our science lens,
and we will discover purpose in time
and the microscope looking at us
in great giros of love
we identity share.

Is this the danger it keeps,
oh my God, that’s us,
microscopic entities
Gods eat,
or horrible beings ride?
Did you listen to a word I said?
We’re not computer simulations.
We can’t make universes lock, stock, and barrel.
Ours is a pitiful notion
confined to a computer.
We can’t make whole universes
the experiment in time.
We can’t unlock the Void
from its secrets.
We can’t unlock nothingness.
We are scientists and engineers
trapped in a universe
simulating ourselves to no end,
and we cannot create out of it.
Do you have your head on you see?
Are you there?

No, no, no, no,
I’m not the teardrop.
I wonder how much that costs,
to great words beyond themselves
and fashion reality with them?
To fashion realty,
hey come here and see the goat
a poem’s to pick you with.
That poet to your face,
it’s no wonder
I’m not gonna rush from my job and see ‘im.
Alright hero,
lighten up.
You suffer
from everyday world,
and I can get there you see:
billy goat,
from man to human that’s me.

We’re all dead to the computer at the stop.
There seems no way around it,
through the computer,
and we will not solve our problems with it,
not the problem of human love.
We are crashing fast all around us,
and we need some hands on to change.
We are so in hatred with Jeffery Epstein
and anyone that gives a nod to him,
or gave,
in this American moment,
you won’t even look at my hand
and the impossible I’ve done.
I’ve changed the character of man.
I’ve changed my own nature,
right here on Planet Earth
under your nose,
and I’ve done it with these formulas
of greater looking,
and I will touch you there,
if you will get out of your head and smile
at this poet in his underwear,
at this poet at the helm
of the words that change life,
if you would but bear them
where yours touches life,
your meaning,
your purpose in time.
Rub meaning together,
I’m sorry,
I will show you the way.
That
is a field to play.

Do you know what man is?
They are the social strata of society,
who we are in time.
A human being has arrived at life
in everybody shares.
Don’t the movie
as man.
That have cooled stuff,
you’re doin’ better
than man.
You need a tablet.
A new style
of poetry,
poetry on the landmass,
poetry in spiritual circles,
well it brings us
that tablet in hand.

There’s more answers in here than you can shake a stick at.
Are you an important brow?
Can’t bother shrimp,
the poetry?
What are you tellin’ me?
Fixin’ to we honestly believe it or not,
right there in heart’s school.
We gallop there
towards our hidden rider,
the superhuman rider,
the supramental rider.
The internet,
that’s not your bluetooth.
It’s not even your mounting station.
This is all inside,
inside
in your latchkey universe.

Hearts are society.
Only yourself?
You’ll do fine.
There’s so many fields
of love,
so many,
in the inner workings of man.
Humanity’s all around you.
You’ve brought your dog
all through your humanity
the Tony Award.
Now open your eyes on the Earth
and see the living things.
Gotcha!
That’s a feelings test
you hold in your arms too,
heart bake,
in the self views of them too.
Wow I’ve spoken home.
You still got the funeral
looking before you.

My dog brings this around
to matter,
oh that sweet Luna.
Her inner Booboo
rumbles around dog notions
the sweetest in her kin.
She’s a safety dog,
the sweetest in the yard.
We find out ways how to handle change
in our everyday life
and make life better for all.
You got a formula.
Now the spiritual consciousness is so rare.
The Supermind is so rare.
Hi silly eyes,
let’s get the toolroom goin’.

Yes what you’ll do,
the sweetest island you’ll surface,
your very soul in your hands
living and breathing on Planet Earth.
Beats me,
that’s great for jump rope.
You are the hero of a stupendous movie,
don’t you get it?
Look I’ve
given you the very keys to the kingdom,
in spoken shares,
in soft I love yous,
left on your doorstep one,
the availability of soul,
and you know it’s there.
You know it.
The liftin’ voice and vision
that tamed this old coot,
I was gonna leave it for empire,
but it’s just around the house, you know?
Now in your bed.
I was gonna sing Kings and Queens
you live your life around,
but don’t bother.
The Gods are your starry roads,
not your kingdom,
your appetizers,
not the main course,
and that God is every name you know.
You hear me Houston?

Now here we are out of the cosmos
in the larger see,
the origin of the universe
and of you and me.
What a Person Trump deported;
thanks for the rule book.
That’s as high as you can go
in witness Houston.
It’s gettin’ to last people
eternity on earth,
your neighbor
the Gods in Heaven.
You haven’t been here
in imagination,
and there sure is fuck no rules to get there
Shenandoah.
We’re all laid out right,
though
of followin’ our own line of development,
hitchin’ on stars
from the eyes of soul.
Oh I forgot it.
No you haven’t Bhoomi,
no you certainly haven’t.
Pace an hour
in your notebook,
it’s the greatest thing on earth.
Just keep pacin’ until you feel like the world
watchin’ itself
in sweet tender shares.
You’ve found soul in your baked bread.
You’ve found soul in your living room.
It’s a temple ground you see,
the whole goddamn Earth,
set your right,
get you all squared away,
and now Mr. and Mrs. Bojoe,
look at me,
as a governin’ sunshine
in my hullabaloo.
You want me to turn out
what helps you?
Just pick up this poem
and read it
to all who cares.
Look I’ll send it to you
here on earth.
Gotcha!

We’re dealin’ okay.
What we’re tryin’ to do
is put you on that crosswalk.
Let me tell yah,
I think you’re up for it.
Techniques binding?
Let’s put it right under your nose.
Well, I been thinking.
Let’s get this started.
They’re here.
I’ll take a look.
In your head
take a looking,
you couldn’t find it.
It’s sweet and natural and pure,
over the rainbow.
You’re in that house.
Dick it with your feelings test.
Charge it with your mind.
Put everything on it.
Imitate its silence.
Wrap your balls with its void.
Don’t let up.
Hone in on your constitution
harrowing on enlightenment.

Keep this frame going,
that house,
as much as you are able
nonstop.
Sit and rub your head with it
in that’s how you grab your head,
cherrying in on that buzzing sound,
the mentor.
Lock your head on it
the way you hold your head
clapped down on it
not in thought process.
You’ve got location.
Cheerio.

I’m a piece of work let my tell yah,
and so are you.
Yet I believe one morning of walking out of my
100 meter tent
and being enlightened.
Gosh dog bears,
make believe it’s fine for a couple of minutes,
I can’t see anything
than another
hallelujah.
Who’s callin’?
I just got stung again by the world.
That can’t be it;
we’re costumer service.
And a lot of bullshit underneath.
It’s a cute conversation
there won’t be any answer from
until I get my whole hair-house fixed
and nothin’
slings outrageous fortune in front of my face
and makes me gawk at it
like a sea of troubles,
and to be enlightened or not,
hell, to be Gods on earth,
gets put out of the pasture.
And the world has eyes,
bended ego,
Ms Dorthy Mae,
and they’re yours.
I don’t see the yardstick
in graduation
moments,
step in a podium
bigger than on stage,
and that’s the revelation of enlightenment,
what dogs me about goin’:
the absolute necessity of it
is not a conference room,
and I’ve shorn consciousness
away from the world
in every little bitty minute
I’m not countin’ anymore,
so deep
I am its anchor.
You know what I mean?

Here’s some medicine:
snuff a cellphone in there.
Hello how you doin’?
Let’s step on each other, shall we?
I thought I’d invite you in.
We’re musical.
Okay, you’re hikin’ the trail?
You’d do my a favor.
That’s what you need,
a conspiracy theory.
Did you know eight monkeys pulled roots off hilltops?
You don’t need any lore
to believe your own spiritual path.
A direct experience of consciousness gets you there,
and can you know that’s its major feature?
Sitting there,
there has to be
you change consciousness.
It’s not a pile of knowledge.
It’s not even what you eat.
It’s your direct experience of enlightenment, savvy?
And then over the head we go,
but not necessarily in that order,
not at all.
I’ve counted all around you.
You’re not blasted sleeve niggers.
You will take both of them.
You will give them
to a world on fire.
This is dynamite shit.

Joseph!
Mary’s comin’!
And they gave birth to enlightenment—
standin’ in the refrigerator
until this cock-a-dottle-doo.
You really believe in science?
You hear that?
The beating of wings
and a startled cry
as if unlocking of doors,
lift you up effortlessly over your head,
like a fountain in springtime.
How do you know that car?
It takes you beyond enlightenment.
I’m standin’ in the sun,
don’t you see?
And my dog’s diggin’ in the dirt,
coolin’ her place to sit.
Luna I love you,
it’s my concentration on enlightenment
half the time.
Simple wares
the scene in front of you,
and my God you love it there.
Takes you up,
you know?
Takes you all the way into the sky
on a clear day.
There you are.

The simple scene in front of your face,
really, really big,
those simple noises too.
You got that Houston?
I’m a sudden epiphany
of you are the world and me
indeed,
the tall hat to enlightenment,
the bakery to Gods on earth
you and me.
Know it’s coming
in our fruition,
the long and short of it
all around us
everywhere you look
unhanded glass.
The world’s your eyes you see,
gettin’ somewhere.
How do we hold this far?
Every minute counts.

In the frying pan,
into the fire,
you learn to abide both.
Coincidence
I have to work tomorrow
the fireplace of Samata Horn.
It’s a picnic table
accompanied by children.
It will be children
I sit with Luna and read,
and our whole house continues
the station house of enlightenment sees,
and that’s over the heads of children
in the ignorant mundane world,
all spiritual seeking.
Take a child and let them know
there might be somethin’
they can really sink their teeth into,
unmolested, unharmed,
not involved with tech,
that will really turn them on
they have such a capacity for it.
Squirrelly children—
I dreamed I was a winnebago,
lucid and all that;
I had an experience of consciousness
some cake over my head;
I fell silent and still.

In the throes of excitement
no video game can match,
no cartoon can render,
that kid continues.
Smile for a better world,
and just let me do my job,
if we’re good.
Are we good?
Goddamn I’m good.
Now then,
I’m on the mountaintop with you,
if you’ve made it up the trail yet.
See there?

It’s my favorite spot,
hanging out with your own safety brakes.
You guys take an ambulance there.
Did you jump the shark?
That’s my baked bread.
I’ve been in this window a long time.
The lights are out
I think every time.
I just prevent enlightenment,
with drawstrings.
I can afford it.
I know where it’s at.
I don’t believe in myself getting there.
I have a stumbling block.
I’m hated by the big city,
loathed actually,
to a degree unbelievable.
It’s way out of your league
I’m apologizin’.
I’m so nice
to my brother.
Wait awhile and see
if you get a little hungry
for what there is more of,
the inspired poem,
for what there is more of,
the spiritual substance of man.

I don’t grovel at your paycheck,
but I can’t see myself enlightened yet
the hatred of mankind is so deep.
I’m in the middle
of you hate me,
no matter how many cities I’ve put on,
have deep my spirituality goes,
how I bring the world in from the cold.
Your worth gives me everything,
and if there ever was a nigger I am he.
I don’t buy at the temple,
like an undocumented worker
so wrapped around all this hate
you are being conditioned to feel,
like a bastard child
excusing himself
with his divinity sleeves,
I’m not allowed to go there.
I’m beautiful.
Just look at me.
I’m not from outer space.
I’m wide open
in your delivery room.

I’m hated by the crowd.
Now I navigate enlightenment with that.
It’s not picture perfect you see.
I will overcome man,
oh foolish man,
and I will carry us all down the road.
Do you hear me sweetheart?

We live in such shared times.
The technology
fools you then
it’s gonna give you what’s worth.
In heartbreak,
not in substance.
I am a miracle reader,
and I challenge these times with substance.
I challenge these times with me,
a poet on your very ground,
a man you just love to hate.
I’m not Mom and Pop Wood.
I’m not spitin’ into the wind.
I descry Earth.
I stand up and be counted.
You will automatically
not count me as sum
you have your crowd-finger on,
and you’re stuck in your own mess.
You’re too ruined to see me
a vehicle of thought.
A combination
of herd sour and stickly pride
shows you to me
a reader
goofin’
at this meaning world
you wanna show your family to.

Just come ‘ere.
Never mind the vinegar straights.
Try again.
I am a poet for these times,
your long lost brother.
Give me a nod.
Give me a thumbs up.
Give me some sort of direction hence.
Give me a high five.

Now I must introduce my Valentines.
The FBI’s on board,
a cop show.
This usually stinks.
Usually it’s just cobra.
This is just cop getting milk,
whether they want it or not,
despite themselves.
They can’t find crime.
I’m not into them,
but we’re on holiday.
They would love to get their hands on me.
They are not the love of humanity.
They’re stubborn and mean,
have badges that give them license to kill,
and not just Blacks.
I’m dealing with them.
They hate me.
They haven’t got me marked yet,
but when they do they’ll let me know.
It’s not in their hands it’s in God’s.
They’re real confident.
They bring humanity down.
They’re tigers in a henhouse.
They can’t get any better.
They can’t even see themselves yet
and how they harass humanity.
They don’t help it.
They’re full of vice,
and they are self-righteousness on the nosebleed.

I’m not looking forward to them.
What you’re lookin’ for
is not in your books.
It’s not on the table.
It’s not out there
for you to prosecute.
You can’t pin it on me copper.
Hear baby,
I will remain a free man.

Fuck this I’m tired,
and I’m not up for grabs.
You’ve heard my vision speak
predicting the future
and showing you the bottom of clairvoyance,
the bottom feeders reading your poetry
your poetry can read.
Maybe
it’s all out of balance,
and I haven’t seen a cop one,
and they have the power of God.
Yes they have.
They think they do.
Oh but they think they do.
Now who’s bitin’ the store?
It’s you lady,
or a man,
full of hatred and mean,
but it’s not all of you in the crowd
dear reader.

Who’s bitin’ the show?
You have somethin’ better to do
than read poetry
you want to report the police to?
Oh you egg,
life after death will see you open
on the wrong side,
put there by hate.
Can you gather oneness?
It’s what we’re about.
Don’t destroy the world with it.
It’s not a concept you can eat,
and when you find yourself on the other side,
it’s oneness that separates the men from the boys,
I mean put you where you need to be.
All our notions of right and wrong are based on oneness.
It’s the cherry tree.
You violate someone,
there’s the other side for that.
In oneness circles
you take up their hand
and make up for what you did,
sometimes in harrowing experiences.
Death can get real creative, you know?

How long this takes
depends on you,
but this is not a fast land
by any means.
There’s a waitin’ for your supper,
who you hurt you did.
You have to understand with your life’s blood,
oh pardon me your undead hands,
you gather oneness you see,
that oneness is the center of life,
even in death.
You share identity with your partner,
anyone you’ve harmed or hated.
The self-righteous suffer here too.
Now what do you do with that?
The great spiritualization of mankind
that’s inevitable on this Earth,
you get there on the other side.
It’s what we’re there for.
Now tell me Houston,
how natural is enlightenment to the other side?
Oh come on get down to your sleeves.
It’s rocket science there,
and all the regret you have
you didn’t do it here.
Do you trust the other side?
You must.
It’s your passage to further worlds
beyond the stink.
It’s your passage to Heaven to be quite honest with you
you are enlightened.

Oh my God we can keep goin’,
but we’ve grounded being
where it propels itself upward,
and I’ve given you the formulas for life
Shakespeare left out.
Captain,
you made us wonder over life,
its grand design,
its idiosyncrasies,
but you left us high and dry
in what you were there for,
the higher life.
A spiritual experience never shaved your beard,
nor fidelity to the word.
You had this magic inside you
you turned for profit right away,
and you mixed muse with your dirt
for applause,
just made up stuff.
I have some idea
of silence.
Anyway,
right here
I end this poem
good fellow,
all along the roofs of man.

How nice and sound that is,
the spoken sound of the uttered word,
pushin’ conversation to its zenith
a revelry of spoken English.
The common tongue,
the guttural sound,
it’s so delightful ain’t it?
Roll it on your tongue
in annunciation.
It’s a present to be read aloud.
It’s a rhythm to be read aloud,
the natural sound of speech,
my comely pen.
I was tryin’ to reconcile
the availability of time
with your time in it,
a Shakespeare rocker-board
with the price of poetry,
shit like that.

Now you’ve done it,
have reached the poem
where it beguiles the page
someone slept on my face,
slept on my foot,
you must hear this poetry.
I got here just in time.
Well, I’m exhausted.
I’m keepin’ up.
It’s hard to keep up
in an avalanche of word
I can’t make stop,
because it’s all around me now
Shakespeare deep.
He is at that place with me
that
we invent language on the fly
and brighten English with it.
He isn’t very friendly
in pages
of very thick verse.
He was playing on his court.
He loved here.
I don’t add up sums,
lines the shimmerin’ of trucks,
but I get the job done
here comes
off island
into another poetry meaning entirely
said this island.
You lift my job done,
okay honey?

How you propose to freeze frame,
is that fake news Donny?
Kids are all over it.
Sooner or later
it’ll happen.
You know who cares
I can move humanity that way?
Can I give you some stars
wonderful reader enjoyin’ the poetry
because it’s here?
Thank God for Planet Earth, hey?
[‘hey’ spoken in the voice of Bad Bunny singing in the Super Bowl 60 halftime show]
What a Waco, huh?
All over the police academy
cops need to get their right guard.
Did David Koresh molest children?
It was a religious fervor,
how they just wiped out the David Koreshans,
killin’ their kids.
This is known fact now,
and if you dispute it you’re a liar
Mr. and Mrs. Policeman.

What are we doin’?
You’re not pourin’ over my poetry
to find broken laws,
to do any protecting.
You are just beside yourselves
that I’m Daniel,
and you’re Daniel,
in the lion’s den,
reminding you of our oneness burgers,
reminding you we are one,
and don’t get eaten.
Somebody has challenged society
in its moving parts,
and you can’t get at ‘im.
Somebody stands there free
from the guns and uniforms you are
in social concepts only,
in yellow jacket.
Dangerous ideas,
I’m wavin’ red flags
to change the status quo.
You guys are its greatest defenders,
and you don’t care.
You just have bullish notions of policing people
and keeping people in line.
Are you startled?
See yah on the other side, copper.
I’ll wait for yah
to help me out.
Now I’ll take my toys and go home.
See you later alligator.

See you soon,
pubic mind?
The public mind isn’t that far,
the ideas that change society.
Somebody will get away with the machine,
tearin’ it down.
Your childhood sprawled out
on the pavement of time,
don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
[sing line, “Shooting Star” by Bad Company]
And that’s where I come in.
I can help you with that.
This is from this rifle
making eyes at everyone.
It’s got land on it
and a whole bakery pie.
I’m not shootin’ anyone.
I’m liftin’ up the race
in my own backyard.
I see you with guns too
puttin’ your two cents in.
It’s the climate for it, ain’t it,
on this net Hogwarts
where everybody’s a poet
or a landmine.
I would like to get out of these chairs
and not have my poet bruised by net,
but that’s the landfill today
you don’t need a permit to dump in.
Everybody can write here,
so far.
Well so long,
I’m approachin’ yah with a poem, you know,
that was written in bended shares
after I posted it the first time.
Kinda gets yah in the sleeve button.
Adios.

Hey rendezvous,
this surprised me too,
really did,
okay?
These are the longest children in years.
I’ll start spendin’ money
that ample time has given me
far from boiling man.
Did they say a paycheck?
A collision course in reality gave me,
and I’m a ticket outta here
to greener pastures
before long.
I’ll live in a cabin in the woods
far from the maddening crowd
on mountain slopes
(can you help me out here?),
high rivers in time,
and I’ll bring my dogs
to be there with me of course,
and that’s the last stadium
I will count to on earth.
That’s the one I’ll ever be
the poet of.
This one here,
hello,
from Fort Myers Beach,
not welcomed at all,
wined and dined and then spit on actually
for the poetry I write,
for the spirituality I do.
This is a conservative place,
hating the other point of view,
downright vicious actually,
and that’s their baseball.
Now tell me is it yours?

In a help on your ego flyby
I’m arrangin’ cans;
I know the price of rain.
I can get down and dirty in the wood.
I’m ten miles tall
when I’m not small.
I’m bubblin’over.
I’m lickety-split,
and I know how to play cars
arrivin’ on time.
I’m a breezeway.
I’m your lunchpail.
I don’t dance on thin wood.
I hold your hand
real nice,
although not in certain language.
I will come back tomorrow
with more verse,
not to bowl you over,
to be sincere to you
and hope.
I can managed springtime
all torn over,
and Mr. and Mrs. Man,
I’m good to you.
I’m good to the whole human race,
everybody in town
coppers included;
we just need them to see themselves that’s all.
New questions arriving today,
how does that feel?
I have hunger
for the decency of man.

A Hail Mary pass,
just one thought around the house,
you’ve seen the pictures.
Everybody question name,
but we’re clear light toward enlightenment,
every single
Godzilla I got.
There’s a group of people
just came here,
just came here again,
We’re at a station now.
They hate me larger than life,
They can’t over I’m alive.
Will they come and do that,
put me out of commission?
It’s a poisoned tree
they look at me from.
What do you think?
I’m not the bacon?
I’m here pedestrian?
Fuck you city slickers.
I’m not talking nails to you.
I look you in the eye and say that
I don’t like your city ways
at the water fountain,
but I do mean the best for you there.

I am the Devil’s show
reinventing books?
I’m an angel’s wear.
I am your delight
in fashion of God.
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee
[sing line, “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from the movie Mary Poppins],
look I’m Santa Claus.
Do you get it?
I’m the word on fire,
all in the fields of God,
and I’m this little man on time
in his delivery.
How can you make that snakes
you chargin’ public mind?
I’m on fire
with love’s talisman,
really on fire,
and I know the white purity of love
in my sink now.
Do you?

Luna puppy,
let’s just look at this town.
Come on Luna don’t yah
wanna see it?
It was the weather it was turned,
and after all,
we’re flanked by cliff and deep.
Kinda gets yah in the guns doesn’t it?
Let’s just get this party rollin’.
I saw a Christmas tree,
the lighting of the party.
It was a savior.
He got ended I guess his name was.
I won’t even say the One’s God.
I require the One.
Good night folks.
I want a really good audience
who need a good field,
a hand-grade,
on the right stuff.

The world is this big conservatory,
and I’m puttin’ my foot in it
and my dog’s paw,
right in the sunlight,
for another round of applause
of course not.
I’m not makin’ money either,
or getting likes
on telephone poles.
Can you know purity of purpose,
where the whole world’s hangin’ in the balance,
and you put your life on the line,
to bring in a new society?
That’s what I’m talkin’ about.
It’s not a mess,
my delivery.
I’m walkin’ on magic air.
In big agreement
I hold the world’s paws
a manner of coincidence
I doubt your sanity could hold.
The things that pass me on the road,
it’s manifestin’ my thought life,
and I’m comfortable there.
Larger than life
I have moved my life’s room,
and you can ground me in the dirt,
but I’m not finished yet.
Oh eyes on me,
that’s not for my glory,
though I’d like your pettin’
and not treatin’ me like some bat outta hell.
I want your respect
you tell kids we all get.
Alright I’m done.

A new world order,
that’s bullshit.
These are not control angles.
These are not command angles either.
Oh my God the history of freedom,
it’s not in liverpools.
It’s not even on vice.
Freedom hasn’t occurred yet
anywhere on earth
in societies.
It’s a dangerous term.
Laws don’t govern you,
nor your own impulses.
You’re free to king the air
with spiritual junction
a soul inside devise.
This is not a spiritual ego
or you never do no wrong.
The freedom to change,
the long and the slow of it,
that’s got to be given.
That’s paradise
when our will’s in union
with the good of all.
Can I show you that mountain?
Fine, I’ll wait
for the whole to arrive.
Great goodness I’m done.

I’m in the theater you know,
finding breakfast,
tall and good and shine,
with my dog
in sudden reindeer shuffles.
She’s the delivery agent
brings Santa Claus to town,
and she’s beautiful,
ain’t she?
Eight million
smiles and laughter
matched her with me,
and the kids went crazy
just a pettin’.
Lickin’ surprised babies in the face,
like a dangerous Rottweiler,
lickin’ you right now,
she’s a love girl
all puppy dog.
Man I love my Dog.

We’re waitin’ for a greater dawn.
Bring it
the love for our children and dogs,
not one sting of abuse there,
not one iota
of mean to them.
Cats lovers beware,
that’s the love they get too,
and that’s the human family
we attend to.
The great buffalo herds,
we bring back
with loving care.
You see where I’m goin’ with this?
Now that’s the story.
So long.
We hold our breath.

Free of abuse,
that one,
we give this even to our rocking chairs.
Is that so hard to believe,
we’re good to everyone you see,
the whole planet,
starting with me
hollywood?
I’ve jumped the shark,
again.
Over the rainbow?
We’ll see.
Goodnight Houston.
Goodnight Billie.
Hello Tommie,
and goodnight all.

Free footage from the main thing,
free from alligators,
nuts on wheels.
We’re high and dry,
and that’s not a place in nowhere.
It’s not a garbage dump either.
We’re high on top,
and we’re not wet with things that sting us.
I’m arrivin’ there shortly
kittens.
I’m not the mailman.
I live every word of this,
and that’s what you look for in bibles,
the people are speaking themselves
who done it.
It’s not chronicles on bended knees
you have to obey.
You’re saved.

I didn’t escape the new passengers.
I didn’t even get caught,
but why would wood go away?
To make it through the Night.
We have to change civilization.
We have to become Gods on earth,
men and women.
We’re pointing there now.
Yes it is just unhand your bacon.
We’ve got larger than life sheets.
You know your dreams are bigger than you
sometimes,
and your thoughts
it’s gotta be better than this,
and your kids’ smiles
in the delivery room
bring hope into the picture there is not,
and when grandma dies,
and you know she’s not gonna rot.
Come people look up.
Look down.
Look all around,
We’ve got a larger Earth.
It’s evolution’s springboards.
We’re goin’ somewhere.

I’ve used a phrase ticklin’ I know,
but we will be beyond the human
in divinity shares,
immortal like all get out
here on earth
in rainbow bodies the Earth puts out,
and when it wears out,
we put a new one on
in ceremonies rich with time.
Gods on earth see ye,
with the power to blow your mind,
and distance doesn’t scare us anymore,
nor the inside of each other’s hearts,
nor death,
because it doesn’t come.
Merry Christmas.

Do you wanna know what’s’ comin’?
It’s the real thing.
It’s where we’re at.
It’s the way home,
and I’m not figurin’ speech.
We’re bringin’ home here,
where we came from,
and I’ve seen it with my own two eyes,
the God I am up on high,
over the head some degrees,
where we are now,
if we see it.
That’s the experiential consciousness.
I mean that’s gonna dynamite.
We experience ourselves down here now
puppets in a play,
actors in a movie,
players in a video game.
The on high comes down,
and we have overhead experience,
transformin’ the nature,
not just enlightening the being,
and we go up,
all prepared,
and meet ourselves on high
comin’ down to station us
just a little over the top of the head,
stationed out of the body,
which is just seas of bliss
and concentrated force,
ready for anything,
and we’ve joined the hemispheres
and become That you see.
Kinda gets yah right on earth,
doesn’t it?

I’ve just spelled out the wheels
to greater consciousness
you’ve never heard of.
It’s not aliens inhabitin’ your body.
It’s not devils either.
You’ve finally become yourself,
the truth you are
beyond time,
the divinity you are
that’s been disguised all along.
I’ve given you the formula for eternal life,
and it’s not a drink you wear.
You become enlightened,
then we’ll see
you empty the vessel
filled by God.
What’s there not to like?

What’s there to be mad about
this poet has given you?
Are you with me?
You will see this in death
at one time or another—
you got a self on high.
I’m here
pullin’ up the tarp,
openin’ eyes,
and now you know where those balloons went.
Why should you believe me?
Gauge everything I said
I was in a movie
that had contact Earth.
You will not believe my story
of adventure
and harrowing experience
and just dumb stuff too.
I’ve gone from one pole to the other
in where you meet the world,
and I’m educated too.
I’ve got my beads on,
counting my deeds,
counting my life’s experience,
to show you somethin’.
That’s life in the fast lane
spiritual experience brought me,
a whole adventure
of meeting worlds.

You have some treats.
Well, look what happened.
You believed me.
The cops don’t get it.
Wearin’ a badge,
oh you stupid boy,
protectin’ the public,
you think that’s killin’ people
and bein’ a horse’s ass,
you’re a cop,
and the public’s over there?
I never wanted to be a cop
after the Green Berets.
I wanted to find out why we had Green Berets
and nuclear bombs,
what I rode into Germany
in the Cold War,
but I didn’t find that out in university,
even learnin’ Classical Greek.
I discovered you,
with a capital you,
goin’ inside and findin’ myself
the eyes of the world.
The rest is history,
I mean follows suit.

Okay are we good?
I’ve asked this before.
I’ve piled onto it now
the rest of the story.
Yeah sure you can find dirt,
but finger your own anus.
Look at self-righteousness differently.
It really is a crime.
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down,
no public that’s not good.
I’m just tryin’ to get by here
in unexplainables.
There’s cops around.
Now let’s go over it again.
Gosh dog I’m sorry.
You hear me now so long.
Welcome to the adventure.

I’ve seen glimpses, not the whole share,
but I’m certainly round about there
the understanding I’ve put on,
flowin’ through my choices now,
through my go ahead.
I’m lively now,
on the baseball,
and I grow in experience every day.
That’s the main thing.
Now where does power of consciousness reside?
Where you go about doin’ your day,
what you think about and feel,
and I must say I’ve shared Savitri there,
and there’s no way around it
power of consciousness takes time
to turn it on your day
the spindle
to the eternal now.

I’ve coughed up my needs here
and offered to dog the bleeding place.
I mean I’ve sacrificed my needs on the altar of life
and just go with it, you know?
I take care of myself in the meantime
and don’t beg.
I fill my desires with springtime
not letting them rule me,
and I throw some out.
I chalk it all up to science
to get the job done,
transform my nature,
and do you call with that?
I hold the divine’s hand all the while.
This is a relationship in sleeves.
I love God, okay,
the Lord of life.

Now that I’ve put you there,
in seeming religion,
what are you gonna do about it?
Here’s the deal.
God’s not founded in my care.
It’s not a belief I put out.
I have experiential experience with God
I cannot deny.
He is more real to me than you,
and I’m with you every day.
Go figure.
I would loose ends
if I didn’t know God was real,
lose my fucking mind.
My God this is deep waters,
and I’m just this little thing on existence
in siren God,
wide-eyed and totally captivated
by my master’s attention.
So I sing you these poems
to get over it,
to process it through,
to know God as comfortably
as I do know you.
You’re a little moron like me,
and you don’t have God’s eyes,
playin’ with me.
He’s a hell of a ballplayer.
Dagnabbit,
there he is looking at me again
through your eyes,
and contradictions abound.

This is all field play.
I have my moments of silence,
but we do get big I want you to know
and can handle the looks of God.
Are we a team player?
And that’s my lowdown with you.
I’m team sports,
not some island
fixated on itself.
I love you guys you bunch of pussies
to fielding God.
Wham! I’ve said my piece.
The long and short of it is,
ah fuck, I’ll keep goin’.
This poem will never end.

I’ve said what they all worship,
the balls in the sky know,
the great cosmic beings whose names we know,
bless their little hearts.
They pave their road with our blood,
but uncle us along
in short sleeves.
The cosmic paradise,
tantalizin’, you know?
You got that right
when you are a field going beyond.
Give them their do,
those powerful motherfuckers,
those compassionate beings,
and set your eyes on God
no attributes name,
who leaped out of the One singlehandedly,
because a necessity was God
to bring creation forth out of existence,
existence being God.

Now I’ve said my notions
and brought you all the way to God.
We begin there,
all the way to paradise.
Do you understand creation?
We walk
the way I hope,
towards great horizons
that come down and aid us
no longer
pull each other apart.
That was your sweet meme.
That was your immediate supper.
Let’s love one another.
Can we do that?
Can we honestly please?
You’re human
I love throughout the day.
You went there before first light with a cousin of mine,
the inevitable poem
a poet
has let just splash up upon the land
the whole word’s worth.
Great the story goes.
Get our act together.
There’s somethin’ comin’ this way.
I think it’s beautiful.

We need to restart civilization,
and now we’ve had time
to call out a good cop.
Gotta learn peace, okay,
not violence.
What do you prepare for?
Where is your attitude at?
Where are you going?
That’s the law of kindred spirits,
and I chose not to be one of you.
Shazam!
I was a weapon.
Can we get out of this?
Would you just hit on my heart please?
I hope you been a cop
I’ll rhyme with you dog.
They’re waiting for you
peace officer.
I felt secure
in human accuracy
an officer of the peace
provide.

Don’t you want to widow in?
I made it my life’s blood.
I set my life straight.
I became a responsible man.
I honored the pubic,
not minding it wearing diapers.
You get me dog?
But I will tell it like it is,
using real language.
I will do that.
Great balls of fire!
this is a lively mood,
on mountaintops.
It’s my report card,
and I’m all over myself
doin’ it.

I’ve brought you to the bus,
the real thing.
Yee-Haw!
I’m Texas,
where I’m from,
from your part.
I rode horses with the US Army
and steadied mules
a muleskinner,
a six-gun shooter.
That rodeo circuit we did
was in Texas.
Went to Washington
and inaugurated President Ronald Reagan,
was an honor guard at his funeral.
They called it his inaugural ball.
I squared off with ole Iron Eyes Cody
masqueradin’ as an Indian,
me in my horse cavalry blues,
spurs a jinglin’, saber a danglin’.
Kinda get yah in the sink, don’t it?
It was the tear
he said,
drunk as a skunk,
as was ole Bush Junior,
they said,
when he came into the hall.
I don’t even think the press give ‘im a look.

I was there
the only Green Beret
in Kennedy’s funeral,
and I’m really sorry he died,
but I’m usin’ analogies.
This was his graduation from high school,
I mean college,
round about Brown,
John F. Kennedy Jr.
The whole Kennedy clan was there,
and I was his Green Beret representative,
but they gave me not a twirl,
if they noticed me,
remained stuck up.
It was just an accident I was there
attendin’ my step-brother’s graduation,
Steven.
Not really an accident at all,
if you measure this in world gaze.
It was Kennedy signed the green beret into law.
We owed him one.

A vagabond,
and here’s the breeze:
I met the world there,
travelin’ from country to country
not a penny to my name,
for a whole number of years.
Money talks,
but it can’t hold your hand.
The world did that,
as conscious as you please,
when you’re lookin’ at it,
have thrown three sheets to the wind,
cast your bread upon the waters,
and it’s real nice to yah.

I was there,
in India 21 years,
and your character,
your decision,
but in India it can change.
Real deep sadhana
brought that all around me.
I worked on it,
and love’s the key to change,
and now I’m meetin’ you
all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed,
ready to be your partner
in world change.
I’m not tryin’ to get your goat.
I’m all over change.
I’m right here,
thank you.

I’ve swept all day,
and I’m movin’ out,
as soon as my money arrives.
I’m movin’
away from here,
Redneckville,
the conservative state.
It ain’t no place for a poet
radical human consciousness.
I’m in the floor,
and people walk on me,
but hey,
who’s countin’ guns?
I’m gettin’ outta here,
which brings me to the end of this poem
long ago.
You listenin’?
I’ve just jumped time.
Whew, we made it.
We made it.
Do you get my listenin’ rose?

Now tell me I’m bad.
Do you even know what good is?
How bad is it?
We’re miracles here.
Now tell me I’m not American.
I’m headin’ out again,
insurance money comes in.
I got hit by a car.
Social Security’s not even enough for rent.
I’ll work,
if I have to,
in whatever job.
I believe in work
to earn your keep,
but barter’s fine with me,
and I did it for years.
Just got a place to sleep
and my needs met,
no cash,
and my needs are simple now
you can imagine.
I’m goin’ to some secret location
you won’t know about,
mountain woods.
The woods is my people,
and I like to be in ‘em.

I grew up in a clan,
not just the suburbs,
a small family farm
deep in the woods.
I studied there all my life.
The Dukes and the Kings,
believe it or not,
theys mean people,
whipped kids and hate your neighbor.
They think they’re Christians.
They falsely accused me of something
and never spoke to me again.
Forty years back,
I mean that was it.
Can you get a load of that?
It hurt like the Dickens.
I don’t understand family,
and I don’t believe in it.
It’s burned me.
They never look at you again.
Now my sister died off,
without sayin’ a word,
just stopped talkin’ to me
years back,
without even a how do you do.

I didn’t understand it,
still don’t.
I didn’t do nothin’ to her.
I’ve got this sign on my back that says kick me,
and it was there when I was a kid,
and many did.
Adults were real mean,
women elementary school teachers horrible.
I separated from other kids
in middle school.
‘Fore that had few friends,
but I was a best friend little boy,
and I’d loyal those.
I took up a Bible in school,
became a Jesus freak,
Jesus Person if you asked me.
If you wanted to be saved,
I made yah kneel down with me in front of the whole school,
durin’ lunch recess.
That way I know’d you were serious.
I got along just fine,
always a crowd around me,
tauntin’ or wantin’ to know about Jesus,
and I had my defenders.
I went to a different church every night of the week,
if I was able,
suppin’ up on Christ in the suburbs,
or at least what I thought was the Christ,
or at least I made it my habit.
I was on fire.

You know what I was runnin’ from?
I can’t even tell yah,
but I just put my Bible down at 16,
abruptly,
and went to the woods,
as much as I can,
became an avid backpacker
as a teenager,
and of course I joined the Green Berets.
Now whatta you got?
You got a man on Planet Earth
ready for anything.
I been schooled, you know?
I’m not just a poetry writer.
I’m a poetry doer,
and I’ve earned my time on the net,
didn’t just get a blog and start humpin’,
but I don’t wanna put my poem there.
I just have no choice.
It’s an avenue you see,
and the gatekeeper’s you,
millions of you,
billions.
I‘m a needle in a haystack,
got this sign on my back
kick me,
and you’re gonna find me, hey?
Leave me alone,
if you make it here.
You wait for me
to pull somethin’ outta my hat:
you know you’re here,
the audition in time
that casts Planet Earth.
Am I right?
Wow, the program,
it smarts
banded by elevators.
Fuck you no I don’t mean it,
but you are a bunch of pussies.

Am I offendin’ everybody on Planet Earth?
I don’t think you know your ass from a hole in the ground,
most of you,
and meanin’ slips out your winda,
and you think it’s smoke.
You like the choicest stuff,
like animals in feedin’ time—
fodder.
I don’t think a one of you is a lover of humanity,
not when you’re put right down to it,
and you have to sacrifice
what people think of you,
or the Law might come after yah if you did.
I’m in that position:
without any support group.
Transgender people,
recallin’ society,
gettin’ upset about your name,
you’ve thrown me down the river,
or the likes of me,
without even a second thought.
You are not the love of humanity.

Now I’m dynamite
down on Main Street,
but I’m not prickly pears.
I love the people that hate me don’t you see?
And I can do that
and wish the best for them.
I want them to be alright,
not hate or be mean to anybody,
and would you please wake up to that?
It’s killin’ humanity,
the hate we have for one another,
and I have nothing brighter to say
in the urgency,
necessity of today.
We’ve got to get there,
love your brother,
love the likes of man,
love all humanity,
the trees and the forests too.
We will be destroyed if we don’t.
We will get killed.
We will die.
Now I’m countin’ you
the leader of this program.
Don’t be a pussy please.

Let’s get down to earth.
Let’s get the word out,
and you can pass out mine,
as pretty as you please.
I’d like that.
Alight hoss,
on the road.
Alright people,
let’s go,
destination love
everybody you look at today,
and love to learn the ones you won’t.
In our emergency they are legion.
Now pick up a gun and shoot everybody
because we don’t.
You see the connection?
Of course not,
and that’s why I’m here.
I put out the blindness.
Can you see that?
Really?
Very good let’s go.
Come on let’s go.
Really let’s go.
There we are,
mountains in time.

We are mountains men.
Among niggers I am chief.
Oh God hallelujah,
can you really stomach that?
Luminous fate,
I bid you farewell.
The poem is on the morrow,
and it’s not the marriage of heaven and hell
or Emily Dickinson’s far, perturbed shore.
It’s immediate and pure,
and it’s got love count your days,
a great big smile from the Heights,
the eternal ray.
Splendid,
a luminous mouth
rides all.
Christmas evening, Times Square, Fort Myers Beach, 2025

Transcendence

photos by the author
If you are reading this poem on a phone, note that the integrity of the lines, a major feature of poetry, is not displayed properly. Many if not most get cut short because of the small screen.
I don’t know I think freedom is dangerous.
It gives us a timetable
to revolutionize society.
So we need to?
Did Trump invade Poland?
(like, does a bear shit in the woods?)
We have no greater need in society,
but this is not about politicians.
It has our housewares on it,
our everyday lives.
We need to change society
into what’s good for all,
into a whole nuther way of life,
where we can live out our potentials
and be ourselves.

That dose not include harming other people,
unless their harm is so immediate
to harm them now is the only way to stop it,
deadly force if necessary,
but you would kill me here.
They’re not death penalty do
or given any harm
that protecting us does not render.
These are separation lists
if this is another set of circumstances
other than the absolutely must be stopped now,
and here’s where we need to change:
every person’s valuable in our eyes,
has the right to be and coexist,
and no person is excluded
from this list.

It is only there we can find ourselves
in our worth.
We have potentials unknown,
unguarded,
and unguessed.
We are not here to swat flies.
Our purpose in living is beyond time,
but let’s get back to the wood,
shall we?

We are larger than ourselves.
We do not live in a bubble of individual freedom.
Our consciousness extends to the whole race
and includes the Earth in its habitat.
We share consciousness,
and our thoughts and our dreams ride the waves
of humanity’s spleen-basket.
We touch each other there.

Any investigation will prove it
over long, slow years.
A group of people living together will prove it,
who bear the remembrance of their dreams
and inner experiences
on a daily basis,
through their group.
Interpret your dreams is the first thing,
and this puts us back to square one.
No one can see this part of the shared field of consciousness
occurring between us every day.
It’s in symbols.
It’s not readily apparent
except in rare instances.
It’s not literal.

How can I interpret my dreams for you?
Can I speak ahead of my time?
We will see each other’s dreams
tear humanity down
and make a better humanity with it
all in good time.
We will see that the thought creates the act,
our thoughts in someone else’s action,
and we are at most fault here,
not understanding the collective will
bleeds harmful individuals
as much as it does those who are right.

We die here.
We lay blame here.
We have no idea what’s goin’ on.
We castigate
we confuse.
We are not in ourselves right.
You share identity with that larger man.
On the level of ourselves we are one.
Even in our individual consciousness
we bear the individuality of the whole.
We share identity
like we do rivers.
This is visible as the Self
you can even see in your mind,
play with in your heart,
before the change of consciousness ahead.

We are not here to remain the same.
We have duty
to change our very nature.
We are animals now
in a field, in a pack.
Herds upon herds of us
distinguish man
as nothing in particular
except the animal that lords over all,
destroys its planet
with so many feeding spaces.
It’s not a steward but a wrecker
of its planet and society.

Go into any home.
Animals lick their wounds,
feed and enjoy themselves
and prepare their young
to abstract survival as they have done
into the modes of man.
We do not create a larger type.
We make our children toe the line
of being human today.
We have no imagination ahead.
We can’t get our children there,
break out of this mold
of stupid us.

We have larger fields ahead,
ever preparing their day to come.
Very few heed that call.
Religion has been a placebo
convincing us we’re there.
You can work on yourself every day
and never find it.
It’s bigger than the moon
and the starlight,
but you can get there from here.
Anyway,
you have to make of your daily life a pilgrimage
to discover all that’s hidden inside,
to look at the outside in those discoveries,
the glasses of change,
and become yourself the larger man,
a lifetime’s endeavor.
That is not bound by belief.
You experience, you know,
and you move forward.

There are changes in consciousness ahead.
You will meet the Silence,
eventually,
and it’s within your arms to discover the soul
inside.
The roof overhead,
you will break in time,
and the seat of your consciousness,
your experiencing self,
will fountain out of the top of your head
into unknown regions,
into the larger field above.
We are in a clockwork universe
it’s possible to see beyond.
It’s possible to get up there
for a limited time only.
Several seconds
have exposed this poem.

Now what do I do
to climb out of words and show you my tattoo?
We have another field man.
We have to change inside our makings,
so much representative think,
so much put on the feelings of others,
so much be ourselves
and not society’s notion of us
or even our family’s.
Can you get that?

You know you have inside
so much more
than go to work, go home,
and there and back again,
than a craver for society’s wares,
than an eating machine,
than any enjoyment you have,
and you know you are bigger
than society puts you down.

Where are the handles on this?
You can’t find them.
This is too big.
A caveman has come and talked
to industrialized society,
to use an analogy how far we are
from the larger field of man.
I’m showin’ yah the wares.
You begin to live your life differently
than for a paycheck,
or for all these things you want,
or for solely your enjoyment,
or even for your kids, parents, and spouse,
for your loved ones,
but in every field I’ve mentioned,
you can make that the starting point
for your self-discovery.
You make that your means to go home.
You can do it there,
in normal life,
by making of yourself a pilgrimage
to discover that greater you,
to find that larger us,
to change society
in its very moving parts.

I’m not way off base.
I’m right here in your hand
revealin’ life.
Stupid me,
I go through weather patterns, you know?
I’m not enlightenment yet
or the higher consciousness.
I have vision inside,
and I get visited by great thoughts
all day long.
I move through the world
tryin’ to make my thoughts reality.
They come across as these poems.
I’m a slug in a handbasket you know,
in that basket spaceship Mother Earth,
a sluggin’ it with you
homey.

I can’t get out of this wood,
but I’m practicin’ sureness in it
we’re gonna get there.
I can see it now,
but I got hit on my bicycle
by a car,
and I’m laid up, hold up,
an invalid temporary.
Now that hurts.
The damn VA won’t give me any pain medication,
but they’re okay,
treated me nice,
commendable actually.
I don’t gotta go to work
for today.
I was on my way to work when it happened.
Stupid car,
didn’t see the sidewalk.
Now I can paint you poems
free and easy,
since that car
stepped in and made the universe prove,
for today’s papers,
need as poet
more than Mr. Grocery boy.
Halleluja, huh?

Look in a thousand years.
We will be larger than wood.
We’ve got so much work to do
that we haven’t started yet.
Fine, fine, meditate, practice
all these roles of spirituality,
but it’s in your hands you try
to find the roles inside.
Can you meditate while you’re doin’?
Bake that field.
Make the field in front of you God,
that person,
that task,
and there’s the secret to longevity
of the changes you make.
Hold a representative consciousness inside,
everywhere you look,
everywhere you turn around,
in all your life’s tasks,
at rest and at play.
You’re seein’ God outta do it.
Overhead that’s who you are inside.

Can I graft this to trees?
God is the All-Look in on itself,
the real behind the apparent,
the one he be looked to for change.
I can get lost in words.
God is our plan.
An unknowable All-Mystery
grabs us all
in personal sleeves.
Who-Done-It,
my God that’s good.
We love a good mystery.
We love to be sleuth.

Now hold my hand.
I’ve got so much more to show you than time.
I love those feelins.
Even my Luna’s the great One,
but that goddamn car,
I’m workin’ on that one.
It hurts you know.
Alright hand me down sleeves.
I know how to put you on at night,
goddamn in bed with the world
learnin’ duty,
learnin’ price.
The world goes deep,
you know?
The world goes wide.
It’s fine.
Even my dog says so,
and she’s on the rag.
I just go too far
in world faculty.

Pissin’ all over the place,
that’s the modes of man.
We are primitive land seekers,
and we don’t know where we’re goin’.
Let’s arrive at peace on earth
is our greatest notion,
or live in harmony with the Earth.
We don’t have a sense of ourselves
an evolving species
from man to a higher type.
Oh my God,
I just hit science in the nose.
It’s stuck in material process
and can’t even interpret our dreams yet,
or know that we inhabit consciousness together,
because it can’t see that far.
In animal vision, in animal man,
we can’t get over ourselves
or see that larger field,
or even get there.
Put bubbles in place,
we can’t swim out of them.
Can you?

Interactive city,
let’s ride some fences, shall we?
What names did I give you to believe in?
I’m givin’ you wide open stuff
I’m not anchorin’ down.
I want you to believe in yourself in your higher type.
That’s the coming messiah,
if you’re lookin’ for saviors.
It’s you and me and every last one of us,
takin’ these conscious springs of evolution,
a field of human consciousness has given us,
and evolvin’ don’t you see?
A gospel of everybody,
don’t you see that yet?

Put representative bowls in place,
I’m lifted change.
I got rid of my sweetheart,
a robbin’ piece of flesh.
I don’t need it anymore,
even in fantasy,
even in the attraction pull.
I was not normal down there.
I wasn’t gay either.
I see the mystery pull,
and I changed my life to prove it.
Now what do you get down there
if you’re not bothered with it?
You don’t get a hole.
There are ecstasies beyond this world
in a much deeper field of play.
There are ecstasies down there
attached to nobody,
all along the chakra-spine,
and your body can be in orgasm
shooting you out the top of the head.

You sexual spider-cake,
you’re not bein’ life itself.
You’re fooled by nature’s cravings
to continue the species
and get some craving relief.
You’re fooled by distant man
together again in one body
male and female.
I understand union reals,
but mine was impossible to understand
because nature had gone awry
and pitted me with another half
I could not join society with.
I had to change,
and I had to know the world to do it.
I had to discover myself.
I had to get big.
I discovered abstinence not denial,
and I’m not an accident waiting to happen.
I know how to harmonize life
and just be myself
in any given situation.

Can you do that,
or are you bound by society’s rules
that stigmatize yourself?
I’ve overcome you.
Men hurt
and women,
and I can find myself in a field of pain
at the drop of a hat,
at the turn of a phrase,
and do you know what I’m giving you?
What’s the price of change?
You can’t do it in today’s society.
Can I help you?
Can I be there for you?
And you will only read this to find crime,
you blockhead.
Is that the majority of us?
Do you find crime?

I revolutionize society
right here lookin’ at it.
I revolutionize society right in front of you.
Kill me for it, will you?
I’m on old pastured ground,
but I’m not visible to your eyes
man’s worth.
Nobody wants to put me out in the open
because I’m a dangerous man in these times.
You might get in trouble for it.
I don’t know why I’m here
speakin’ under your table right now
to the high and the low.
I could be anywhere,
but I’m not I’m here,
givin’ you my life’s blood,
takin’ out my heart and showin’ it to you,
so you can sacrifice with me
to the joy of the world
all our petty and mean,
any vehicle of harm,
sacrifice even your safety in ego activism par none,
not stupidly,
not shamefully,
on the field of poetry bounds,
or whatever art aids yah
to take the ego from its throne,
to move the ego from its peacock seat,
to end its dominance on earth.
You get my carryin’ dog?

You sacrifice yourself on the alter of life
in sudden epiphanies
of the inspired art.
Would that God stays Abraham’s hand
and doesn’t kill his son,
you know?
The wise care
on the dance floor,
this is the new Gilbert,
Mattie Mae.
Can you come down some
to our price?
The greatest feelins in the world
are all around you,
even if you get hit by a car,
and you’re not too fucked up to see them.
That’s God you see
and the Mystery behind time,
just a livin’ it up in the wood,
and bringing you in on yourself
so you see them
the Wonderful who you are.

This happens every day
in any field on earth,
but you have to find them inside to see them
as clearly as you do the world,
and that’s an inner journey par none,
over and over again.
Break the bounds inside.
Throw open the lid
that separates you from infinity,
and get yourself all straightened out,
over long, slow years,
over every minute of your life.
In all your mistakes,
you’re goin’ somewhere,
but you don’t do mistakes to get there.
You harmonize everything
into your larger see.

Now I’ve given you the keys
to begin.
Now is this a booty hunt?
It’s nothin’
that will always get you anything.
Now what the desert symbols in dreams?
That’s the touchstone
to a greater life,
that arid,
that barren,
and when the honey starts,
it’s not up all along.
You have to be tested and tried,
and there are snakes on the footpath
and liars in your head.
It’s a milkshake
of calamity
taking you to safety,
and you’ve made the monsters mad
that mess with human lives,
the monsters under your bed.
They just rule down here you know?
And the negligent divine
waits to intervene.
It’s got to be the right stuff
or a node on the story all-important.
It sucks you know?
Makes for banging your head against the wall
in your miracle ward.

Have I spelled it enough.
I can get goin’
towards that hidden sun.
Does it have to be a car,
you divine underwood,
crashin’ me into the pavement,
the divine intervention I ride,
taking out of business,
that ground me for a paycheck?
What the fuck?

The rice failed enough gas.
Did I get away with it?
It’s rainin’.
I can’t get over it,
how I’m brought before my enemies,
those that fire me
and kick me out of India
and just generally despise me,
and shown to be a beggar in the wood
marchin’ down the hill
to a hole at the end of the tunnel.
Reader, do you see that?
No, you see my inner wares.
I’d be a cap gun that fools yah.
That’s not God
pushin’ you on the floor.
It’s his chaperon,
the bodied life we are.
Kinda gets yah in the knickers, doesn’t it,
the embarrassment we are.

I’m goin’ for larger pastures,
and I’m bringin’ my dog.
Got a problem with that?
I’m not molten lava.
I am not weird and strange.
Clothes against the wind,
the key to love is change;
that’s all.
How you get around everything:
genuine and love,
back behind everything,
build a life.
You have arrived at the end of the poem.
In a sudden change,
you can only take your own car.
Go for it.
Read it,
Review of Nonconformity
And Other Stars.


That’s a foundation-spread spirituality.
You need help.
How far did you go?
Did you get all the way down to the well of soul?
Now there’s advice,
everyday counsel.
There is saving grace
in given words and visions
in the very substance of your dreams,
and great seraphim thoughts
that ride your day.
Listen to this.
It’s guidance from down under
concrete and whole.

Hey, crowd,
somethin’ tears it apart,
this speakeasy in your mind,
invader of dreams,
the ones who put circumstance together
down here on earth.
The monsters of the deep,
they talk too.
They guide you
to tear you apart,
and do you know what?
They do it all the time,
and without the discernment,
you just fall apart.
They block the soul,
imitate it,
and drown it out with their lore,
and can I come on the scene with channeling?
Most this is rotten tomatoes.
The divine doesn’t speak that way,
and divine beings are all around us,
giving guidance like the soul,
inner ships,
having a conversation
in the symbols of art.

It’s inner speech daemon
and inner vision,
a high kaleidoscope of grand advice,
a chorus of voices
rich with entertainment’s mood
and the jolly of the world.
It’s unbelievable in its scope.
It’s happenin’
in your ability to go in trance inside,
or anytime you go inside
for a bright reverie
that can come from cooking a meal,
if you’re alone,
and operating a motor vehicle,
all eyes on the road,
any mundane task
monotonous enough to go in while doin’ it.
These are development skies,
when you get down to it,
impossible really
to bless you with.
You have to do it yourself.

Now the road’s all open
for you to do it yourself.
Who does it for you?
No, not the divine
and certainly not the soul.
It doesn’t
take your will from you,
but it empowers your will
with keen advice,
the knowledge to do it right.
The most hidden part of the spiritual path,
they rely on your own will
the changes you make.
Willpower takes force
as the door,
and there’s no way around this
I’m sorry to say.

Actually,
this is what you’re goin’ through,
line your will up with God,
will this, will that,
in the loads of every day.
Come on is this impossible?
Impossibility seems,
and as many times as you fall,
there’s a stickler on your will.
Never mind the philosophy,
but you do come under a spell
when confronted with your obstacle,
your subconscious part,
and until you overcome it,
it will get you every time.
Come out from under that spell,
and you have grand guidance to do so,
if you listen,
if you get down that far,
if you’re sincere.
You’re not the messiah, hero.
You’re just you doin’ it,
a change of heart.

Have I found myself there?
This is advice from the soul
and my chosen divine,
but you don’t have to believe in them.
Every word of this is inner made,
and mastery I call on you,
here in bed with my dog,
around the house,
inner in an outer state.
Even outside the story goes,
walkin’ my dog or ridin’ my bike,
inwardly concentrated
on the outside see.
No neglect is there.
I’m not spaced out,
and that car hit me
on the sidewalk,
where I was legally bound.
It carried the liability.
It was a fault.
I didn’t fill inner guidance on the road.
I was never
spill my lines on the way to work
in that particular journey,
the day I get hit by a car.
I just got attacked
by dinjinns,
and that sucks.

It was an emergency
officer,
let me go unprotected
for the dinjinns to do it.
I have more poems to ride.
You’re hearin’ one now.
A cashier at Walmart is so outwardly tuned,
concentrated on customers all the time,
too much talking
for inner silence.
And let me spill this again:
I am inner guidance on your roof,
and you’re gettin’ the tall of it,
everything written down
to get you started,
to get you goin’,
to help you along the way,
to confirm your own found it there,
the inner path all along.
It’s a long poem,
for the serious in mind, heart,
for those who want to know.
You got a minute?

I’m a chaperon really
of your budding spirituality.
Anyway,
let’s get this show on the road.
There is will down.
You have just go to pick it up,
and it’s a fence worth,
not everything in the sky.
These are the teachings of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo
and their yoga put into practice,
written down for daily use,
in the order of appearance
in the skies of time.
What a freeway, huh?

I went overtime
to make this a complete yoga book
in first time hands,
or to give old timers a way out of their dilemma.
You must pardon my shimmerin’ moon,
the spearpoints of my stars.
The sun doesn’t talk yet it just looks,
and changes the whole field.
We are on the road to Supermind if you want to know the truth,
the divinize everything,
and we moon to get there
from the house of soul,
but it doesn’t talk to you,
the immortal Supermind,
nor do you worship it.
It rides you along
the itineraries,
and there it is in the sun
in vision.
Clouds around it some,
or is it full force?

Can you see that far?
And here we’ve begun.
Pretty dog,
sometimes you
are your dog.
How to communicate
the road to master?
Do you see the sea salt?
You’re not always made clear,
but it’s a hell of a ride
to stick your life to,
so unboring,
so very real.

Why would you just want money
to spend on things?
Why would you want to get along life without it,
the challenge of a lifetime?
Why would you want to be dumb, stupid, and mean,
when you can have the sun, moon, and stars?
Tell me now,
what is this advice within my head
that visits you in my bed?
Ah, a dream I think but oh so strange.
I give all the name of the game,
lights on yoga if you tell the truth,
and there we are.

I didn’t put any bowel movements
to get you to this beauty.
I didn’t piss all over myself,
but I sure didn’t leave anything out
that gets our goat talkin’ about.
I’m not embarrassed to say
the creeper,
the thing we can’t handle,
because it’s too impolite.
I talk you there,
where the knots are,
and that’s you untie them,
and I am a power yoga there,
if you see I’m speakin’ from truth
I’ve fortified
with my own two bare hands.
You’re gettin’ my yoga,
and I’m not at all ashamed to say
I’m well on the way.
Do you hear me boys and girls?

I am very pleased.
Let’s get started
or begin again.
Let’s get well on the way,
a sadhana you do tomorrow
that’s here in your hands today,
24/7,
all along the rollercoaster,
and you got that right,
a touch of God.
We are endeavor to learn
two birds in the hand are worth two in the bush.
It’s not all spiritual experiences.
It’s not even that you seek.
Center on the divine
in everything you do,
the divine above all else,
the divine in your living room.
You will get to the One eventually,
the Mystery behind all,
the divine in everything you do.

Road speak I’m sad.
Gotta get your compass out
and slow down.
The goal is ever the goal.
Do you know what I mean?
It’s a ways beyond
anything you’re doin’ now,
until you are Gods on earth,
literally,
in the sky and on the ground,
the change to Supermind
as it rides Earth.
Is that a thousand years from now?
Every week
brings us closer to the goal,
and you look at it that way,
as the sun rides your life
a happenin’ now.
Can you go up there to it?

In great moments you’re there
I’ll let you diagnose.
Did you get out of the universe
and be up there within it?
Did you ride the sun?
Where is that at
in manifestation Earth?
You are grounded you know
in the impossible,
and you ever ride the sky
in the ways of God,
when your manifestation is true to Earth,
and wow this poem is,
and yeah stupid me,
I get lost in corners,
but I do certainly get out.
I can sacrifice my way out of anything,
as I glide by.
I can get out of trouble,
the representative creature that I am
on a representative planet
in a symbol universe.
You see my Winnebago?

And you’re there
beyond time,
and that’s not in the wood.
Now, you see where we’re goin’?
We’ve already been there.

It’s where we come from,
and we’re bringin’ that down here,
divinize the Earth and sun,
the finite one up there in the sky.
Hercules,
and we give that man his name.
It’s a golden endeavor,
a supramental endeavor
we surrender to
all our days.

Now do you have the rulebook?
There is none.
It happens as it happens,
a different road for each one,
something beyond rules
and step by steps,
and that’s the hardest thing in the world for the human being,
likin’ the simplicity of the animal,
likin’ his way of life,
the dumb run.
We’ll get there anyway,
despite ourselves.
It is spoken.
It is inevitable.
I’ll see yah on the road,
okay?

Alright,
this poem continues with your sadhana
where here I do mine,
right there,
where we fall asleep.
Take it from me,
if you have the patience
to hear a poem all night long.
I do,
and this writin’ too.
It’ll make one offer:
passive who you sittin’
in the burden of your life.
Hear on me here,
and that’s a hell of a sadhana,
so answer divine.
There is no other way up
surrender all you keep,
and you’re on your road through time,
and you have the strength to get out,
and it’s right there
comes spiritual experience,
the flexity
to let it happen
it’s so startling down here
you know.

Good,
let’s grow up.
See that coming.
It will tear you up,
and you will get up and move on,
anything that happens,
anything that does.
Can we put the strength of this poem in your hands,
inside the river
have your coming days?
I’m afraid
you have no choice but to do it yourself,
whatever you find,
wherever we go.
Is that so alarming?
Okay we may have to learn
calamity stakes,
a much harder road than now.
Don’t
say okay life come
and show me what you got.
I’m sayin’
you’re lookin’ for the divine,
come what may,
whatever happens.
You got that road?
You got that life?

Supposed to take care of it
that negligent divine.
Alright already,
you’re in here,
in a blessing packet now.
Ah, go ahead and set up.
Well you can shut up.
Thank you reader.
See there the power you have?
The emergency ever arrives to thought,
wherever it’s mutilated.
We’re done here.
Makin’ true that’s all.
I apologize for getting so mad this morning.
I had no food,
and that food arriving,
and you turned it into some grasshopper’s umbrella
complication 3
and surgery.
They will be taking pictures if they can
at Walmart.
Look it’s mine too.
It’s nice of her,
gas keep the phone to its tours airs on the screen,
as the Spirit
ignores you,
in noise
jokes around,
at my expense.
I end it here.
That’s it.

There’s fence of good people to,
the limits of
your attention recognize.
Oh my warm God,
I give you credit out of the parking lot.
The pursuit of the unbearable,
what was lost in God
to front the Unknowable.
The action of the divine mother
put all in place,
gave name to form
and helped me to abode in peace,
but I am lost in this fathomlessness
so greatly surmise the world,
and I love my dog.
How greatly that turns the world,
the boundlessness of love.
It’s patient sitting
the works of the divine mother
and giving you a poem,
formlessly and one
honey puppy.

Denies all
a great eye of nothingness.
The great eye of nothingness
doesn’t exist.
A great eye of nothingness shut off.
The enclosure,
no thank you,
I will not man nothing,
put that on my brain,
or go anywhere with it.
Do you know how tall this is?
Outside of the enclosure
of the universe.
There we are.

Sad or bored,
now it’s the hidden sun
pulling those habitats from my eyes
into my very joy
not confined in anything.
Any new answer
to bring the world in peace,
that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
I’m not gonna force it.
I’m gonna take the bus,
come out of the top of my head,
stoppin’ tonight
right now.

Yeah we get there,
just above the head,
where the consciousness stays,
the seat of consciousness.
You’re a consciousness now
(I was lookin’ around),
inviting Supermind down.
This gets scared.
Where did I put it?
I put it
where the poem ends,
where the vehicle ends
takes you
to see these things,
and there you are.

To the next war,
to the next tree,
you gotta try to find this.
It’s the one safety
frees us from all harm.
What did you do?
I sat the captives free.
Hear about it,
it turns you on,
transcendence.
What a sun scratching child,
I just can’t get into algebra.
He’s going to get seconds,
and there’s moooore,
moooore. [sing last two lines]

Are you up the down staircase?
You see this as where we came from.
There is another bill,
and these paragraphs says personal city.
The lantern
was a collective whole.
We’ve lit up the chasm of the Abyss,
brought consciousness down there,
the great scout,
so the Real in the apparent form
brings a new Earth,
and Supermind descends
into its creation,
and we bring home here.
Put your shoes on
people,
I’ve shown you the way home.
We need to find the most names
excited by thrill seekers.
I thought I’d pass this on to everybody.
Understand my science
revolutionary?
You get me dog?

Thunderstruck,
it looks like,
I’ll do it bitterly and sweetly:
I’m actually heard.
You wanna working stiff not a
poet in the rafters,
and I just wanna be left alone
and do my stuff
in a poem.
Okay I’ll see you again soon
with another poem from the rafters.
You’ve
got it on your whistle
I don’t have to get in front of that cash register
and Walmart the world away.
I can’t write a lick of poetry
caught up in that crowd.
It’s grocery lists
and item buys,
throwin’ myself out on the public lane
when gettin’ home and tryin’ to get my silence back.

A day off I’ll do it,
but that’s work, work, work, you know?
Along with the cookin’ and what else,
constant dog care and what else,
and I do like the sunshine on a winter’s day
sittin’ and bein’ nice to myself,
unguarded moments
of ease,
readin’ and whatnot,
seein’ the football game end,
maybe a movie or two,
or doin’ nothin’ in my arm chair,
sweetin’ up the day with that,
what gives rise to poetry
I have those seraphim thoughts,
and I have the freedom to do that,
basically,
I don’t work for the Man
in those loud modes,
can’t get a concentration done
on anything of silence.

Now all these days off,
I’m in a poetry slam,
really, really intense,
and I’m gettin’ right down on the fingers of society
go for the throat of society right in its needed change,
least I run off
before you put me back to work in some menial job
poetry can’t land there.
I gotta eat you know,
help Douglas with the bills—
there’s Donny.

Can someone please help me to a poet’s worth?
Big bathroom I think.
Is that North Bergen,
Dallas or Ashburn,
Judgment Falls,
the Bible states,
all these fields on earth?
North Fort Worth,
go back there
and see me alive
and not doin’ a thing wrong,
all ye people,
all your self-satisfied lives,
all you lives lookin’ for somethin’ you ain’t got.
Could we like, uh, rock n roll?

This is just the price of oil
comin’ to that place
it heed dollar.
Here’s it’s talkin’ about
let’s get this show on the road.
I’m good at it,
givin’ yah for all it’s worth
writin’ poetry to today’s mind,
interestin’
to all these people
at the edge of the world.
You don’t read like you used to.
Now, where did poetry go?
Right here,
a new style to play a part today
you ain’t never seen before.

ChatGI,
that stupid free course,
that wrong imitation,
will it sum up the world
and put meanin’ in it,
direction and path,
all on the nodes of man
it gather out in the world from its own experience?
Will it put meaning together like this,
like a paratrooper?
Will you give credit to human language
genuinely done
by where’s poetry come from
since it came out of our mouths,
the honest to God muse of poetry,
the real thing?

Man I’m talking to you.

Present turn to your dinner.
Oh ah,
lift up your eyes and eat.
Came over and bring that Nithish
I am trying to school,
that 14-year-old
and poet.
His poet,
that 14-year-old boy,
can you bring him here to me please
from India?
Can you just send his poetry along to the world too?
Nithish’s blog top of the page.
We have Spirit together.
We can ask
do you need anything today?
You need children put rightly,
the greatest need in the world.
He’ll tell you that
in his poetry,
and when a kid sings it,
you’re likely to hear it.
I can just ask.
You’re just ready to put me in the trashcan,
but why him?
Thank you,
my boy’s blog.

Not curry for free,
we spiritual mastered together.
I am his teacher,
his grandfather
and best friend.
I raised him
a good portion of his childhood,
and he’s home with me.
I was there the night he was born
at the hospital.
You know what that means:
I didn’t find him as a sex tourist.
He’s my kid,
and that’s his whistle with me,
all along time.

We’re good together,
like a racehorse,
like a freight train.
I gave him God shoes.
That he puts them on
and becomes a think tank himself,
we do that duty,
and he is high and mighty in my life,
and I respect his every mood,
but I don’t get off on him.
He’s sacrifice.
He’s work.
We identify with each other
so naturally and sweetly
you would want him put over here with me.
Now that’s standard dress,
and we have work to do together you know,
and that’s all folks.
That’s everything.
I love that little boy.

The sun has molded itself to itself
in high glass clear.
In special light
we’re there.
Image the sea.
He has the showed the higher consciousness makes them embrace
in this paper.
Oh yeah it’s horrible
you’re too loud to read it.
Another note:
I have a glance
in that spiritual presence
I know the meaning of,
scheduled car
to enter enlightenment.
Been here.
Social it and do me a favor.
I am right now
holding your hand.
Would you be pretty enough to see that?
Right on time
let’s go outside.

The explosion and the scary,
I’m not sure it’s fathomable.
Beings of a wider, higher consciousness drew near.
There’s a you for months other than me.
I don’t like the fallout.
Go under
more long than strong.
I think I see enlightenment’s booty.
Being take a look at it
band aide all day.
I learn to abide
consciousness shears.
When the public enters your mind
those origin.
It’s profound the crowd.
Eww, catalyst
we really fit ourselves.
And why would you do that?
Dream after dream after dream
right here in your notebook.
Got to know
there
on Sunday’s farm.
There’s a dumplin’.
Origins
delivers.
What is that mode?
The diamond,
the windows
shear and pure.

Enlightenment
what’s your number?
Why not?
What does a guy lose?
Just give me a second.
I’ll do some scheduling,
and it’s done.
I’ve opened it.
Let’s have some fun.
We go public,
think like the hurricane.
When I say that now
the public mind doesn’t believe it.
The noosphere it lets you
on the rafters
visiting human thought,
and that’s a big puppy.

View our progress
someone touches me it gets out.
What have you done?
The sins the day will kill you with,
break a leg.
Oh, it’s your past.
Can we step in line
see forgiveness?
That’s done it
I know the meaning of my sins,
and I have repented from them.
I don’t do them no more,
and this takes the icing off the cake.
I’m not the only one
bonded by my sin,
and I can’t make up for you here.
You have no other way but punishment.
I’m not going to confess a dime.
I’m not going to let you have me.
I will make the journey
to make up for what I’ve done.
I will do that.

I will,
when those two,
when life and death talk roads,
when the inner consciousness itself
reaches people inside
so much healing done,
so much love.
Movin’ robotics,
there was the whole system
of this legal system.
You can’t just leave it.
That happen.
We stop prison planet.
We stop it completely
and a few other places
we punish people for their disease.

I’m a view that in person.
I heal,
and it’s all I can do.
There’s a factor,
the power of love.
We have that stuff,
and I’m a hologram for it.
Grand it put there
hey I love you.
Will do scrubbin’ my feet
here all along.
That’s the tension
hunkered down
as you read my poem.
I’m alive on you.
I’m not neglecting you.
Perfect,
let’s go home.

Let’s get movin’,
shall we?
Let’s get on with it,
the magical
life on the road
in splendid skies.
We really get out.
We really get out of prison.
You take care now.
You take care of yourself.
So long,
you have a good day.
So you note it by yourself,
put divine muse, divine lawyers.

What’s new in the swamps of Michigan and forest?
We have really decided his paper
broadcast America.
Rebelled some. [pronounced rebel’d]
I didn’t limit alcohol
to its dispensary.
I didn’t get drunk either,
but I rode alcohol
to give me some beer
to separate
some pain and some ease.
It made me feel good,
but that’s no problem.
I drove the winnebago
I’m normal waking consciousness down by the grass feed.
It’s right up here
the substance of my day.
That’s her fault,
yeah the divine mother.
She told me this mornin’
that everybody’s supposed to
of God,
but if they’re not at the beach,
feel, feel, feel,
what condition my condition was in
[two above lines sung to tune of the beginning of “Just Dropped In”],
ascended joy,
a rising ecstasy.
It is precision jewelry.

There would have to be patience
to break the rules,
not indulgin’ matter
to a ritual pattern,
but you just break loose every now and then,
ease up on the controls
and take down your hair.
Let’s get now
you don’t do that to harm anybody,
and you don’t get drunk if you’re an alcoholic
harmin’ yourself.
Normal waking consciousness,
it lifts your road,
dangnabbit.
Wait this is beauty’s skies,
and here you are.
I’ll let you promise
we’re good keepers here
the clear portal of consciousness.
Substance driven,
we lose our way.
In highs there’s a held up
they use as a camera
we don’t even know is there,
the monsters of the deep.
There’s a
platform here I know it.
Psychedelics,
you know it,
that big joker.
That settled anarchy tribe,
well they can bring spiritual experience
in sittin’ very well prepareds.
Good God hallelujah,
you can’t make rules about anything
You got my winnebago?

Blitzin’
to get this damn show on the road.
Oh my grand family,
do we just kill each other,
or have a moon?
I’m not gonna pay a lot for this muffler.
Where did that come from?
That’s a conservative.
You will spend your whole life.
I don’t get it.
Your old life is gone.
Everything’s a portal of sadhana.
Nothin’ gets left out.
The concentration goes everywhere,
every minute
puttin’ that veneer on everything,
on to it:
I am concentrating on the divine
in everything I do, think, and be,
because it’s right in front of me
whole and ready-made.
Just remember
that veneer
continually more,
a bunch of times during the day,
until the representative consciousness comes in
your mode of thinking, being.

I’ve described to you
the sadhana
that will get us out of here
and get us out of suffering,
the sadhana you do every day.
You do sadhana
in the heartwood
of everything,
and watch it change your life.
Thirty years is nothin’
you’re figurin’ results.
This changes the world.
Your change gets it there.

Oh the pancakes,
there is the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.
You can’t let your dogs there.
Unbelievable.
I’ve got a Rottweiler.
You, you can’t do it,
travel your dogs up the road
in a spiritual change.
What does that mean?
You’re learn
the rules won’t get yah there.
Some doggy might.
Toasted
let’s go home,
dogs or not.

For your feet
that do yah.
Absolutely it’s free
people.
Better,
I just found out
people are gettin’,
they’re gettin’ better.
The freedom’s come ‘ere,
it’s your choice.
Peter’s cookin’ the thought Heaven.
It’s a little too big.
The first chappal you sent,
I got promoted
on the state park,
backfishin’.
Here I am giving things.
A quarter your visitors for dogs,
got it set up.
Yeah next week I’m gonna eat.
I got so much cookin’
where infancy changes the world,
but I made it out of there alive,
and I used that to open my consciousness
far and wide.

My mom was around all the groceries in one battle.
Peanut butter,
she slipped it into her mouth
and sucked that little thing.
The consciousness that rules orgasm,
I got ruled from birth,
all my toddler years.
Oedipus hits the Sphinx, and
fuck it let’s get on with it.
It’s a ticklin’ notion
comin’ in on my playground
a devil with red eyes,
the horrendous history of abuse.
I saw it sittin’ there
all over the table,
that dog-dragon with red eyes
(imaginary playmate hell),
grinnin’ as my mom supped.
I was openin’ consciousness early on.
I bought you
transcendence.
Now do you believe me?

Up to an American geologist
an alarm went off.
To a doctor,
violently lets in the poem.
So I was messed up
on you just can’t get out of the mundane to see the Real, can you?
Unbelievable your pittance.
Can you create a star?
I wash over it,
sit and face the truth,
ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. [sing last two lines to tune of “Changes”]

When I’m giving that to Walmart’s eye I have a saying:
you’re going home. [says reader at the same time I say it]
I’m going home.
Sharing
real life on the clock looks like we found each other.
We went a special forces team.
In bounds you change
a woman,
a man,
a single body
like before.
There’s another person,
the whole.
Yeah,
you have the impossible dream.
Sorry kid,
that one,
I have it.
I have my hands on it today,
located in the heart of the night
people are moving,
in my drawers,
and the platelets of man.
I have the energy
to see myself one with the sewing machine,
and I car
to land’s end.
That close by the apple
we got knowledge on.
Did not
put down the biggest one,
the fruit of the tree of the unknown,
where we become God on earth livin’ in man,
the paradise of our inner state,
the manifestation on our outer.
I do not neglect
immortality
in a rainbow body par none
I change into again.
Houston come on,
that’s Heaven
man halleluja, amen.

Glory halleluja,
where the poem ends,
The Love of Yoga it’s called,
for apes and further humans
apin’ me in the rainbow.
Fall all over yourselves readin’ it.
I don’t know what to say.
Look, there’s God,
God on earth.

We believe the magic’s made out of Choctaw and wood.
Join it
on the open air,
and uh,
a poet
all together
mountain,
burnin’ here
background check,
ridin’ high forward,
rumblin’ with redneck,
he gets his point across.
They hear him at the Astrodome.
They hear him on Soldier’s Field,
well an American poet
at the rafters of his craft
poetry.
I mean they actually know’d he published a poem,
everybody concerned with such
and everybody that don’t.
I rub myself on the land
right there at that smellin’ spot,
hallelujah, ruff, ruff.
Beautiful, ain’t?
Amazing landfall,
the shouldering down of American life,
American landfall.

Carry Meaning

Me at work at the Roxie, photo by a kind tourist lady named Eleanor, taken just after writing the poem

This is one of the poems that got me fired from my job at the Greater Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce. The president, who fired me, told Douglas, who also works there, that board members and others were sending her excerpts of things I’d “penned”, claiming I was making fun of them.

If you are reading this poem on a phone, note that the integrity of the lines, a major feature of poetry, is not displayed properly. Many if not most get cut short because of the small screen.
I sit and toil all day
at the heart’s sky,
laboring meaning into form
that won’t surprise me with its despair.

I unhand time.
It seizes me.
I believe in miracles.
It’s all a wonderful of the All-Look’s gaze.
I labor to see that.

I can remember it happening
long ago.
All the sights I see hide God.
Can you hide God?
It’s a revelation in a day,
the abruptness of creation
organizing time.

I can see through the forms
cloud my mind with meaning.
That bus that just stopped there,
it stayed a bus,
but it carried mystery.

The people at the bar getting drunk next door,
a singer sings their songs.
I can’t find the music or the melody
they become more than sharks
wetting their nose on freedom.

I carry them in time,
the little guy at the Roxie station wagon
tourist information center,
seeing past the show
into metaphor’s play.

Bathing suits and butts
don’t know what they mean.
Their wearers are proud of them.
They walk past smiling don’t look
stirring sexual desire.

I don’t know how to do this,
be a Roxie concierge
and assign God to the role.
I just mean somethin’ to everyone.
My hand is ever on time’s grasp,
“Yes ma’am, can I help you please?”


I study tourists
tryin’ to find time
a meal on paradise.
Can I help you folks?
Every meaning
gets bigger than time
and be what it means for.

Can you see that?
Every meaning we look at
wears the face of God,
but every dog knows
God is horribly attentive
to things you don’t understand.

I will find meaning there.
I will reach beyond the Earth
and sit at the Roxie and be myself
guiding tourists to their destination
on Fort Myers Beach.
Yah get me dog?

The Immediacy

The podium on the stage of the Art Hall in Koreshan State Park, Florida, where the utopian religious group, Koreshan Unity, had its community, whose founder and prophet was Cyrus Teed. A visit and a meditation there inspired this poem.

This is one of the poems that got me fired from my job at the Greater Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce. The president, who fired me, told Douglas, who also works there, that board members and others were sending her excerpts of things I’d “penned”, claiming I was making fun of them.

If you are reading this poem on a phone, note that the integrity of the lines, a major feature of poetry, is not displayed properly. Many if not most get cut short because of the small screen.
In dreams and visions my voices speak.
What are you doing over here?
I’m a religious nut.
I can’t control myself I hear visions.
I count the salesmen in my dreams.
Go wake up humanity,
I can’t count the number of times I tried.
I can’t even get a word across.

This is not save the world vision.
I mean like
I’ll never forget that I
made the wrong sort of mud pies.
I write poetry to reach the world.
I’m not a religious figure to charm it.
I’ve opened up consciousness inside.
There’s no barnstormin’.
I’m a quiet place takin’ a mile.
I sit and read muse,
no religious fanaticism,
but I answer questions bluntly and with sarcasm.
Let’s see what stinks here.
Your mind.

Flying saucers from outer space did not tell me a thing.
I have not been visited by angels
tellin’ me I’m the man.
I don’t want to get in your pants.
I don’t want you to obey me.
I would like a better society.
I would like to say things that mean somethin’.
I would like to hold your hand,
where you don’t look down on me.
I would like to lift you up
in your mind where you think
and touch that heart of yours.

We have a society here growin’ money
and hate your neighbor.
The mind of us is not the best of us.
Our souls are only beliefs not houses kept.
We think each other wrong.
We don’t hand out society
so you’re a prized member.
That’s the rich and famous.
We don’t know how to do it,
be kind to one another,
and it’s not a social laugh,
the uncomfortableness
of putting each other down
to get at time with one another,
or at best we keep our distance
from heartfelt communication.
We laugh at one another
and wear big social masks to prove it,
or we’re tryin’ to sell somethin’
when fake that sincerity.

Who is vulnerable and sweet?
Who lets their guard down
and give people meaningful communication?
Our minds are full of the kingdoms of ourselves.
And I’m not sure how to write that.
Would you group with me?
I’m a group-minded person,
and I give group to my human being.
I don’t consider other groups human,
the Democratic Party for instance,
or those Republicans.
Man I love everybody.
Now you everybody’s get off the bus.
I’m lying to my social lying.
I can only tolerate certain people.

You disguised my I,
and I’m sharin’ in your business
I don’t understand.
You’re not the biggest people in the world
Americans.
You’re not even tryin’.
What happened to me?
There are changes in consciousness ahead.
I’ve had some previews.
I was not someone you handled correctly.
You didn’t know how to see me,
and I just fucked up.
I got intah trouble.
The previews came as a start
to help me feel you as I feel myself,
even if
you look down on me.

I saw humanity.
I’ve seen the world as my eye,
no, no, not its offerings to me.
I am a vision of the world as we speak.
We look out each other’s eyes,
in the world being that we are,
and we look out the eyes of God,
who is the vision everything.
It is possible to break free
from single vision’s number lair,
from one pole of consciousness don’t you see?
I’m about that vision.
It’s universal.
We all share it.

We’re lost in me’s
and the boundaries of our group.
I’m so sorry
this chain gang has defeated my eyes too.
Can I help you some
see the truth,
reality as it is,
no religious overlays,
no scientism that can’t see past its own nose?
Reality’s bigger than you think,
and you have identity outside of time.
You aren’t this puny self
laboring on a hapless globe
that can’t see itself
and know it’s true.
You’ve put on actors wings,
and it’s a hell of a ride ain’t it?

And all your dreams represent things to you
because you are representative in time.
You’re bigger than you think,
in household wears,
not your peckin’ order.
You are actually beyond the stars
lookin’ through a thin pigeonhole
at that embarrassed I down in time.
We’re all naked down here,
and pride just can’t seem to go with us to sleep.
It takes coffee to perk it up,
and who knows the master plan
of the universe?
Kids we are and kids we’ll be,
until we wake up on ourselves.

Do you know a mature notion?
It’s not here,
in every man for himself,
in the little world we’ve made,
in the societies we’ve engendered
that make you obey it
like it’s a real group
but blames its faults on individuals,
a world that does not know itself.

Good works and technology,
you can’t move the field there.
We have consciousness to change,
and that’s not a thought process.
The consciousness changes into its larger type.
I’m puttin’ this in your hands,
the ideal for the ages,
the thing we’ve been workin’ at all along.
It’s not a messiah you see.
It’s not wings from outer space.
You do the change and me,
and we get bigger than ourselves.
Blinded I am?

The New Business

I couldn’t come from
the city according to our needs.
A oneness organization,
that’s the start of it,
the city the Earth needs.
The walls are coming down,
it’s where we begin.
This is the largest city in Heaven,
and it’s expensive to live in.

How many people protect themselves from the Infinite?
How many people have bibles
they won’t cross thresholds with?
They can’t get out of the Book
or this Name says.
They can’t plant infinity there,
and they argue and bicker among themselves about it,
the rulebook says.

Am I just a hedonistic paradise?
I sacrifice even my thoughts to the divine
and live a simple life to prove it.
I don’t cut down banyan trees.
I sit together with everybody there,
and I know hard work,
and I know rest and play.

I love God,
and that is my first priority,
not the God of this man says,
the God of the banyan tree.
I have seen God’s eyes
staring back at me in everyone’s.
I can pet a dog and feel that,
rub a cat.

I am about the mountain in springtime.
I know how to address the world:
oh my God I love you.
I have seen fire and rain,
and I changed my life because of it.
I no longer hurt people
or cause them pain.
I draw the lines everywhere
to prevent that.
I know the meaning of sacrifice.
It’s how my thoughts meet the world.
It’s how my hands meet the day.

I am an Aurovillian comes
theoretically,
and I shout this to the Earth.
I will get bigger than my kind.
I will transform consciousness inside
into our greater type.
I will give birth to divinity
on a collective field,
and our hands will salt the Earth
with its great and needed change,
and I am here my friend
opening doors for you
that you may walk through them.
Auroville will you hear me?
Auroville can you feel that
looking?

This poem was emailed to many Auroville email addresses, most all the principle leadership bodies, and it was the object of an art action on Sept 3rd and 4th, where I and Mithun taped and tacked it up on bulletin boards and walls around Auroville and on banyan trees in the township, or it was just handed to individuals. This is the performance art a recent poem, “The Diamond”, mentioned, before, I might add, there was inkling on my part to do any.

This poem and the preceding one made the secretary of Auroville, Jayanti Ravi, mad, and she got me kicked out of India over it, personally.

The Diamond

photo by the author
In the stories of the Self,
the eyes of sunshine,
it’s been Armageddon.
A small voice out front says no,
it’s been leading to something big.
I’m a hope, and a skip, and a jump away from that.
That’s what I’m pettin’.
You hear the ups and downs,
the soliloquies
harbored on the snake.
I swear these muse.
I’m tellin’ the story of God.
I’m not coughin’ up Skid Row,
but I’m giving you pencils and integers of everything,
and I don’t neglect nothin’ out.
We’re on a roll now.

I feel something big.
I can’t get my heart out
to show you.
I’m bein’ pushed from the inside.
Still I can’t see my boy
or anything else big,
like a sudden public share.
I still sit in someone else’s pain and cry,
anyone on the planet
I hear their story loud,
and join that with my own.
I still see the pain of the world
and not its bright sunrise.

What is this bear I speak of now?
A coming tidal wave,
my head upon the stake?
My faith in God hasn’t reached that far:
he loves me at high noon,
I mean like in front of everybody,
and I’m not a bad man anymore.
I’m a way with him.
Would you count that,
or do you even see him
right out here open fields with everybody?
I do have that smile.

Do performance art,
and I’m from there.
Stay in your room,
that’s me.
Catch me,
you are my god
I announce things at
the seriousness of a child,
and I am hurt by one.
Look at me,
a fattening calf,
I have golden reins.
I don’t know how to handle this:
you don’t put my face on.
That’s how it needs to be done
to God knows what.
You cannot contain this.
You think aliens wrote it,
or a moved lunatic.
Some of you know I smile
the meaning of the word.
Play your blindfolded world.

Did the boy end up revealing anything to us?
He’s happy and content on the outside
I heard that your honor.
On the inside he can’t handle himself,
is boiling in pain.
These are irreconcilable.
He can’t hold this script down.
Those around him only see the happy kid.
He doesn’t reveal himself inside.
I am not a name on his lips,
like he doesn’t want to see me,
but he cries for me inside
and is continually scheming to see me
or make contact.

These are all along the lines of Earth.
He can’t make it right.
He can’t get up out of his stool.
He’s frozen there,
and he and I are frozen there.
You don’t know how this hits me.
It’s like a betrayal that loves me so
impossible to understand.
He won’t even call my name,
acts like I do not exist,
and he is finished with me.
This just does my head in,
confuses me to no end.
I swear the real boy’s right there,
but he is so earnest when he shows me his inside,
especially when he calls me and cries—
so much pain,
so much out of control,
with a rage that wants to blow up the world,
and I’m supposed to believe him?
I get so worried about him.
There is no end to this.
There is no issue from this
as he grows older.

I just want to walk away,
but I’m pulled back every time
by divine love
and my unmanageable love for him.
He is so big inside me.
This is all in my reality.
Can you lose a child,
have him kidnapped,
and he’s winin’ and dinin’ with his kidnappers
just down the street,
sending you secret notes of ransom
that say daddy I love you so much
and want to be with you?
This is a crash course in reality.
Fuck this I want off,
and the Mother
and Sri Aurobindo
and other divine
bid me stay with him,
and I love that kid so much I do.

Here’s the trick.
Get rid of the pain they say.
Don’t even operate on that attachment.
Count the divine only
you see in everybody.
Don’t be forlorn.
He’s comin’ back.
It’s all in my muse,
there or in the background of every poem I write,
his name, his name,
Nithish, Nithish.

Stop the forlorn?
The ache inside my breast all the time,
the absence of my child
and his dangerous psychological situation,
how in the world do I stop that
or believe the divine he’s here
sometime soon?
This plays with me and plays with me.
Are the divine devils?
I don’t know what’s goin’ on.
I’ve lost my child.

You my divine reader swing with the Gods
with your heart-breaths,
your beliefs,
your unaccountable sum.
Have you seen the Great Beyond?
Are you a born object of God,
what others now discuss
as an occasional moment in the Sun?
It would change your way of life,
radically transform society,
because it’s there
at our divinity’s base.
We lit triumph with our children
to bring this home to us.

Do you know the transformation of the outer life
into the inborn divinity we wear?
When do we put that on
with our children,
a radical new way of life
that busts out of the husks of the old,
where children can be themselves
and not the uniforms they wear,
not crammed down society’s schoolbook,
not made to think your thoughts
but open God up inside themselves?
I’m a motion on that,
a mover,
and can I remind you here of our high aim
in your classrooms with your kids,
in your downtime?
Nothing more to say
except my time with children is that,
who they are in time
and their inborn sense to go beyond it
a revolutionary.

How do the boatmen row?
Gently and in springtime.
I’m saying my worth,
and I’m not a cherry picker.
I’ve seen the city up high
and the elephants the grass ate,
the thieves that robbed bottom
and the song they sang when they saw God
they now with children row.
I’ve counted the stars
and their admonishments
and protests,
their gifted speech
to the poets of the time.
It’s all a crocodile
beautifully put.
It doesn’t change us.
It only makes us mean
towards our brother
when we find them doing wrong.

Who can translate poetry
the Gods themselves can’t bore?
Do you know the living Ray?
It comes form other shores,
and we hand it in our pencils
blockchains we wore.
Can I pencil this in for you
with the freedom of the Infinite
involving children,
involving Light?

It breaks on us a new path:
you’re the leader
finally acting,
and I storybook my little boy
from a full moon today
where we draw redemption.
Outstanding citizens no,
we want radical revolutionaries
with every child we write.
Do I dare you?
Radically I write time.
I am life’s sacrament.
It won’t pull me under.
I am not dyin’ here.
Somethin’ climbs in my room
I don’t know.
It’s got handles on it,
but oh what they are?
I’m a space nigger in time.
Maybe that’s coming to an end?
Maybe there’s a zombie apocalypse,
and I get loved right out in the open by my boy?
I think it will take that for him to act,
despite this poem I wrote.
Maybe I’m onto better days.
Maybe I’m big stuff.

It’s Armageddon folks,
is that how this is supposed to end?
No we just pray there,
and we get up and run the world again
I lit in the face of certainty.
The foreigners would wait outside folks,
and the lady is a figure on trapped.
Startled by his brightness,
I see the Alone in every tree.
It looks out at me with my dogs’ eyes.
It’s in every figure of self,
looking out at the world with timeless eyes.
I am not alone here,
even though you keep me at bay.
I am a figure of Self,
and I break bread with the Alone
as a matter of happenstance.
You can’t rob me
of that deep.
You can’t even see it.

Fine, I will wear your society,
but I’m on revolution’s springs,
and I stand there alone
investing in time
an uprising out of it.
Now read me won’t you please?
I see the Alone in every face,
and you are nothing but he.
Crowd me now
with your figure of him.
I dance on this delight
on Earth’s shores
just poetin’ the hell out of time,
and that’s the start of it,
prayfully yours.

Images for Change

photos by the author
The muse gave me a message to you,
the muse rise and poetry.
I’ll see it in the garbage can, won’t I?
I don’t know how to negotiate this landmine
in outer things.
Every world has rejected me.
I’m a nation to nobody,
dear reader except you.
This is across the board.
It’s unhand me.
It’s blue and it’s red and it’s gold.
It’s unbelievably tight.

What do you say to no,
we don’t want to have anything to do with you,
and this is the entire of the yoga you follow,
the city on earth
that’s to realize the human dream
and be alright with each other?
I get kicked out of there too
and in the hearts of every man and every woman
who could make it possible to see my boy again
right out in the open
his daddy again,
and that anomaly is solved:
why the divine in-look on me
carries his name,
and it is a phantom make.

I stand here confused.
Even the halls of poetrydom have spit me out.
I have no place in society.
I live in some little island of bright,
and Douglas and our dogs
hold the world together.
Our visitors only want something,
all they can get,
and they only come here for that.
We have no friends here.
We have no one looking out for us.
We are here alone and that’s it.
This squeezes you, you know?
You don’t understand
when humanity and the world
mean so much to you.

I’ve painted this isolation for myself.
Douglas has friends and family
who care for him and provide,
else we wouldn’t make it.
He lives in his room and I live in mine,
but our best-friendship has reached the stars,
but can I tell you about Paul?
A friend for all the years,
who is in the world at large
giving me e-blasts
I’m your friend.
When the world rejects you,
you get compensation,
friends for all the world,
if you’re holdin’ hands with the world,
if the world means as much to you as yourself.

I can’t bear this,
spit on by everyone,
and I’m just diggin’ my hole deeper with these poems.
They cost me so much.
They tear me apart
I am so real with you.
I don’t know how to begin
to really say it,
the be there of the human being.

Oh my God I want to describe it to you,
so we can join there.
I want you to see my humanity.
I don’t want to be an outcast no more.
Oh I wish you could feel that.
God does,
and he’s here with me all day
in bright thoughts and muse
on the edge of time.
Would that you could feel that.

A meaningful life,
that’s established.
Come to terms with myself
and terms deeper.
This is all in the sky.
I’m a blockchain.
I matter to mankind.
I’m significant
to your notions of self.
I’m good
to all you haven’t seen yet.
I love people
and feel their oneness.
I am not about the snake.
I touch you
with deep meaning.
I am really there.

The world blows up inside me
it has eyes.
I commune with the Unknown.
I’m about your rocket ship.
I ease on you these things:
the starling oneness inside us,
the jumprope to God,
everything we have to do with each other
in our ballpark with children
and the animals in the room.
You hear me there
petting my dogs in wonder
and taking children to the sky.

I cook meals for you
and attend to your business all day.
I am not just a selfish wound.
I have lifted up the race
everywhere I look.
I am dawn on you
the understanding of poet,
and here I am,
in my most serious mood,
standing up and be counted,
because you’ve shunned my face,
a rocket-man
that knows we share meaning together,
that knows my part in the world,
that knows I can’t live without you.

You’ve kicked me out of your homes,
you’ve kicked me out of your hearts
long enough.
I’m not a beggar at your gates.
I’m the poet at high noon.
It’s time we fly.
It’s time we fly.

The Thoughts at the Wrong End of Time

photo by the author
Everyone feels themselves the maker of things.
Alone in our body’s cells,
we do a branded work.
We have the secret knowledge
inside,
and we know the meanings of things.
We just can’t express itself to men.
We live in our longings
a perpetual keeper
unable to handle stuff,
but ours is the mooring
to the base of life.
We know no one above us
in this,
and even ones that we worship,
they’ve just validated ourselves.
We can keep them.
No one else can.

I am the secret front of time.
The world calls my name
human.
I am a draft everyone wears
in their rise to fame.
I can’t control fate,
and the talent show,
I can’t grate my time against it,
but I am bigger than lost rooms,
or, if I am famous,
for your information,
I’ve been put there
by all eyes on me,
and the knife I am to everyone
I don’t have to please,
it’s sought within,
and I believe
mine eyes hold all true.
I’m good to everyone
even if I’m not good to some.
I am the eyes of life and time
in my living room.

Surprise, surprise, surprise,
you are not the march of the universe,
or anything tall and big.
You are a worm’s crawl to our Sublime,
and you would spit on the Sublime now,
if you saw it.
You would not hold it right.
You would not even know it’s there
in your tangible real.

I fight this battle every day,
sometimes on a horse,
sometimes in the slime
of morose doubt.
I can count my sins all day long.
I can sit and bash myself upon the head
for being such an eager worm.
Here’s the kitten:
I sit in the arms of the divine all day.
My doubt is not to its existence.
I have knowledge firmly there.
I see the Larger like I take breaths,
but is this a whirlpool,
a jolly roger’s madness ride,
that has no issue for a starstruck human being?

I see the Larger like I count my face,
and it’s suspicious to me.
It doesn’t count humans.
Oh my goodness the proxies’ wear.
Everything’s for the larger good,
the whole.
Individuals get trampled in the stampede,
and we have to stand this,
because it’s all a dream,
even our suffering,
and we are nothing more than sinless souls
putting on masks of flesh for lifetime wears.
The flesh doesn’t count.
The soul does.

Great Department Green,
is my soul in my beating heart,
the exclamation point of tears in my eyes
I fight back left and right?
How heavy is this pain
a moral wear,
how real, fresh, and alive,
and yet it’s cut asunder by ideas,
by momentary experiences I’ve won and lost,
by a look there a breath there
on God’s heights,
like you throw bones to dogs?

Feel me I’m real,
the character, the mask, You’ve donned.
I cannot last like this,
a plaything upon Your pittance.
I need Your honest answer
to my living pain,
or crush me now and don’t look down at me again (uh-gayn).
The pittance,
the role and show,
how do we handle it?

Time
is larger than our showroom.
More power to yah God.
What’s man doing there with his head blown off?
It inspired
an amazing journey.
It manufactured
an attempt
to find another rule than suffering,
point out joy as my hunting rifle.
It’s my must now.
It’s where I lay my head,
oh time machine,
I go.
It’s important
that’s a carpet,
not a bed of nails.

Do you hear me breathe?
I’m countin’
the breaths of all of us,
and I am sin, hold me down?

The Comfort of Soul

photo by the author
This poem began where Death went off his office,
and it revealed.
It’s beginning to baby us,
political allies.
About exit,
what does it reveal today?
We’re not safe in our own shoes.
Death is the beginning of misery.

I kill myself from the beginning I bet.
It’s a written,
a written piece of paper.
Now I left coins of me, shekels,
splashes of time,
in your jukebox.
They’re horrible.
It didn’t work.
I could not write my name in the sky.

Just how do you do?
I’m small pittens for small fare,
smaller than that.
I just do your head in, don’t I?
Come talk to me I’m worth?
And you don’t.
[The sound of laughter here]
You’re the wrong people.
You’re not wearin’ soul shoes.

This is message for the times today.
We did love.
We’ve lost some trying to get it in there now.
What in the hell’s a matter?
It’s the go car looking for enlightenment
brown.
Make alright boy that’s it cut the track.
Just need to think your love can speak. [sing line]
Freedom caring,
just need to think.
Some of it has been miracles in the room. [sing line]
One at a shot have a world education. [sing line]
He’s called a creature of a dying world
job,
little until tea tomorrow.
You’re getting good at it.
Leadership is worship.
Bake down,
ask about your soul technology.
Become immortal.

Before my life was over,
I want to find what my life was in.
I’m normally ask that,
if I haven’t given up on life.
Would you lay with me [sing line to tune of song of that name]
all over this answer?
It’s not a field of stone.
It holds us all in tight keeping,
but it’s not the angel in the room.
This is pre-God ladies and gentlemen.
Can you hacksaw that?

I’m getting deep into society’s ways.
I’ve just found Spirit,
the first covering of the Unknown.
It’s how we have being.
It’s where we come from.
A great big Spirit wears everything.
It fashions God.
We’re getting into preexistence ladies and gentlemen,
when only the Formless arise.
Can you imagine nothing as its sailboat?

What’s the rule of this ship?
Don’t fashion nothing.
Expand into global waters.
Make existence be
to pronounce Itself.
Spirit is the first form it wear,
that makes for us souls.
It’s aligned with God,
but it’s not God.
It’s the soul,
the basic who we are.

You can touch that ship
in intimate contact,
feel it ride the wherewithal of your day.
It can take over
and rubs your belly with sweetness,
and you are charged for awhile
with everything’s honey.
You see the soul in things.

How can you do this in a concentration camp,
in the worst hell on earth?
That’s the soul of the ages
in bare bones reality
giving you eyes to see.
Overcoming physical pain is one thing.
Watching cruelty mark the Earth,
devour babies,
and we’ve gotten down to the purpose of soul:
don’t let it in,
the despair.

The soul can get you out of this,
even in the midst of it's bear.
We are a sublime soul range,
God gave us Savitri reads,
and this is down on earth.
We tarry there.
The soul is completely out of this picture,
the whole fortnight
of evil takes our ship.
The soul is not responsible for sin.
It loads up our day
with the honor we give one another
for being the Itself to Itself,
and we feel sweetness everywhere
and principles of joy.

This can break in on us
in the hell we have made of our lives,
or what others have made us suffer.
It can even break the dull routine of the days.
It can be in ordinary
and lift on you extraordinary in every mode you wear.
There’s no end to the soul’s keeping.
It’s the basic ground of everything.
It’s goodness rides the high seas.
It has so much feeling for everyone.
A plant is to it existence
and little dogs so lovingly looked upon.
It can hold matter in its hand,
and you don’t want to bruise that ship either.
You’re careful with everything.
You have respect for the Earth.
You are never out of love,
even when you see society’s nigger,
the people we are allowed to hate.

I can’t fashion this for you.
The soul is a mystery you know,
but I can tell you how to do it,
reach for soul,
let it in.
You grasp it all the time
in bridges you wear.
It’s the most common thing in life,
coming upon your feelings,
and you feel so alive with everything,
and you want no harm done
to the aliveness in front of you.
You feel the pain of the Earth,
the sorrow,
disguised as your own or your close neighbor’s,
and you grasp your loved ones to yourself
and be good to them.
You feel ranges of Spirit
right there in your baked pie.

A moment of eternity has looked in on you,
and you feel sublime with the Earth.
You hold them with your children,
these feelings,
or your best friend’s face,
and you love to pet your dog with them
like you’re petting moon time.
You want to protect everything don’t you?
And you put down your enmity for a minute.

Can we range there,
take those feelings to the sky?
We can sure get along there,
if we try.
There’s more to soul science you know,
but I’m trying to get you started on thin ice.
We don’t know how to handle the world.
It ruins our day,
even when we’re drinkin’ with it,
but we are not left out of soul.
It envelopes everything,
and when existence can be anything,
the soul is there first a witness,
then a power
to bring the soul round to things,
and you just have to grasp it
in what I’m saying now.

Is everything okay?
Is everything alright?
I wear society like a sleeve,
and they do not worth me in it,
not even my own kin.
I am left apart by everybody.
Few call my name.
I’m treated well by Douglas
and a few others.
My child cannot call my name,
and though he is living I cannot see him.
I live in isolation,
bearing pain.
I look at the specter of death.
I’m in danger of society’s wrath.
It sneezes on me.

Have you ever seen the sun
and the mysteries of existence?
I’ve pulled them out of my pocket.
I’m a crash course in reality.
I write this to you now
in poetry that has never been seen before,
and I’m a black bag.
Society won’t read me.
It spits my name out,
never calls it.
I want you to recognize
this pavilion.
I want my boy back
and safe,
and I want all of you to be safe.

How can one man’s love change the world?
If it opens up the eyes of God it can.
It can bring us to soul.
I rabbit there
and show you soul moments,
a day or an hour,
I can see because I wear.
It’s close to enlightenment’s springs,
and I refuse this honesty just as much,
feeling my pain,
my isolation
and the loss of my boy,
who tells me he’s walking in a void,
in secret messages,
and he’s lost on himself
no light he can see.

I bear these days
not as a guerrilla.
I return again and again to the house of soul,
what I’m lifting up for you to see
in a certain light
that give us release from pain,
and I love you there,
even though you give me the cold shoulder,
again.

Rushing through a path of ambulance,
I participate.
I don’t promote my own story.
I hand it to you
because it’s how I found out things.
I’d rather not tell it
as honestly as I do.
This does not do me good.
It gets me ignored,
not a poet in good standing,
and no one will promote my work,
except a fellow poet in Israel
I can count on to call my name.

Just at the home of mankind,
I’ll have the day at some point,
and I’m in your picture
of what everything means.
For now I want to pass ships.
I’m on a mission
to get past my own boat.
Come get me please.
You’ll like what you see.

Intake of Nature

photo by a boy at Dylan’s birthday party
I wanna restrict access to ether department material.
I wanna clarify the sense of know.
What is the irony?
They never seem to remember
they’re not dealing with science they’re dealing with train yards.
It only becomes science when consciousness becomes involved.
That dog exists.
He points all the cartoons and movies.
I’ve seen ‘im.

This is not just an English submission.
And the way you must maintain, [sing line]
inhabit this
as if your life depended upon it.
Disturbed her hand.
Nobody knows where this is comin’ from,
and no reader sees this comin’.
Soon you’ll get bit
and ice cream.
It has the attention, [sing line]
and you hit a basketball court,
and it may happen to be our key.

Dobie you came to stop me why?
Christianity
does not know it’s interred.
It thinks it’s the sandman.
It hurts people,
and it does not match reality.
Fine, I’ll keep singin’.

I put everybody in bed with me
so they can see change.
It’s a safety measure.
Where do we come from?
Do we come from the trees?
What happens when our pants are off when we were children?
How angry does momma spank us?
Are we left in a corner to rot?
Is daddy a guerilla?
Do we get enough to eat?
Are we the brunt of everyone’s joke?
How much pressure do we spend childhood with?

What’s mental health,
and how has it failed us?
Every scientist knows
you put the telescope on heavenly bodies,
the microscope on nature’s small dance.
What makes us tick?
The observational posts are not there.
We’ve neglected our very selves,
who we need to see to survive
it’s gotten so big
our department store.

Why didn’t we do this from the beginning,
put all those training devices on us
so that we know where we came from
when a child comes out of the womb?
Have I hit the most territorial seize the day?
You can’t look in there.
It’s the most agreed upon privacy in the world,
that little family intake,
by the time we got to where science was.
I’m not countin’ cucumbers.
I want you to look at this.
We put our eyes on the workings of nature not us,
as if that would change the world
and make us live with one another well.

What was early scientists thinking?
They established a model,
and to get right down to the business of us,
the making of the human being,
was that akin to heresy?
Now folks,
what do you want to look at to be safe,
how many items dance on the head of a pin
or study the universe
to systematize it?

Let’s be crystal clear.
Science deals with the environment too
and the damage we’ve done to it
and the danger that’s put us in,
but human choices made these decisions

that have put us at risk.
How self-centered they are,
how monetary gain.
Change the human change the environment
so we don’t run amok.

Did I just spell out change?
Why has the focus been on objects of nature,
I mean in the intention of science?
Momma don’t make your babies grow up to be cowboys. [sing line to tune of the country song with similar title]
Well I lost the rodeo.
Can we talk about small minds and violent natures that live in boxes? /
I grew up in this milieu.
I could say policemen
or rodeo clown,
or even schoolteacher,
but the exceptions would pile up,
and I can’t show you what’s happenin’.

How can I tell you we are a tortured device?
We do not produce good human beings.
Just look at the world.
Do you know how violated everybody is?
Do you know how mean?
We are still guerrillas,
even your newspaperman
and mother with her child.
We are not a functional society
for the good of us.
We have animal hierarchy
and just let people die
or rot in misery.
We are a selfish lot.
We are not our brother’s keeper,
and we do not love our neighbor like ourself.
We make war with him.

No gentil people would agree with me.
They’re soft and warm.
They treat their brother kindly.
They go to church
and pay homage to society,
or they have the right liberal opinions
and treat everybody equally.
Do you know how immature you are?
Watch yourself in transactions
you get shortchanged,
or where your opinion is busted,
or you find someone you don’t like,
or you’re brought up against your unconscious,
and you watch it take over.
You react
and show your immaturity.

This comes from upbringin’,
from where your family put their hand,
their voice,
their feelings,
and their directed-toned thoughts.
Now science would not say this.
It’s not there yet.
It won’t do that,
look that closely at us
when we’re in momma’s lap,
in bed with daddy,
at the dinner table bein’ reamed
for somethin’ we done,
or just sittin’ on stools with the family
in our little private milieu.

We can’t put lenses there,
and we don’t know how to get at that space
and nobody knows we’re lookin’.
We could’ve solved this a long time ago,
but science didn’t see that
we are behaviorally made.
Put genes in the shotgun
they come from behavior too,
however many diseases get in the way.

Audible,
we saw a destiny.
It wasn’t religion.
It grew larger than mankind.
We’re in the apple in the trees now.
We can’t get out of our underwares.
We still slap children,
make them feel uncomfortable with themselves.
We breed disease.
We don’t know how to handle children,
and our world’s a mess because of it.

How can I get you to see this newspaperman,
scientist studying nature?
Who else would we look to for change?
A politician’s a ninny-gag.
The clergyman reads from a book
and doesn’t see change
except to be more Christian.
I bring a new thing upon the Earth
that we haven’t seen in awhile,
as the poet lands Earth.

I bring you essays on living
through my personal share
that can see through the walls of humanity
and show things even cameras can’t capture.
I can show you the inner workings of our species,
and the dice is on the table.
I can hunt you in corners
and show how this makes us mad.
I can show the pathology of mankind
and the rule book of disease
that puts rabids among us,
and I can chip away at your armor
and show you your snakeskin,
the hidden fount of your wrath,
and you are as policy as the rest of us.

I do this with a divine eye
that looks in on things,
and I have found the hidden fount of poetry,
new for the times we wear,
a new font of poetry
that speaks to us living men and women
to bring our heights to the sun.

I am not a caged animal.
I have a freedom in my room
that walks on mountaintops.
I am a receptivity to God.
I hear the angels sing.
Healing lives in my top drawer,
and I let it out and sing to you
the heavenliness of its smile.
I can do more than that.
I can rise the sun in your eyes
and reveal to you the secret of the universe,
the real person you are beyond time.
I can bring you to the Silence
that empties our race of all its cares
and brings enlightenment into the room.
I can hold your hand to the well of soul
and have you touch base with forever.
These things I have seen and been,
where moments meet me
in the well of change.

Do you see me there?
Every impossibility meets its gun.
I’m taller than you
in that I have met my own impossibility
and let God handle it,
but I did not neglect my duty to pay.
So I’m aligned with the times
to give us living Earth.
This is not a handmaid’s tale
that robs us of our own divinity.
We have it on our tops,
and we will wear this one day in clear and certain skies.
Time’s the animal we wait on now,
but time is not our keeper.
The hidden divinity is
all across our tops
in every movement of time.

Right on.
I have some stature to gain.
I want Silence to enter my room,
but the world keeps swellin’ up.
I tarry there.
It’s not an impossible situation,
but it’s bigger than I am.
I’ll just put on my hat
and let grace still me.
It’s an office I wear,
concentrating with no thoughts in my head
bound for the Silence.
I can’t get past the thoughts of the day,
but I can ride the quiet for minutes or hours.
It’s a warfare you know.
They know you’re close,
and the world steps in
and robs you of your peace.
Dangnabbit,
I chase the Silence away.

They carry your name in the wind,
the lovers of sky,
if you’ve seen past the boundaries thin Earth.
You are a flame shot up there
that kissed the night goodbye.
I’m hope in your room.
Don’t let me down.
Can you see me now?
[the last verse came watching the movie The Summer Book walk its way into my heart]
