learning the turtle

..crossed legs

..chin on palm

..gaze on the ground

..ears wrapped around records

..perfecting the imagination

..incense

..ignoring everything else

matters of platypus and chubby checker

still in question, whether i am operating under biological or spiritual tendencies these days and furthermore, which of the two is chief of operations

oxidized anchors

easily confounded
is excess stimulation
and a state of internal
leaning or swaying

might be forgotten
the stillness of mind
and sharp awakened
breath
 or
fire and flames
and unspoken exuberance

with fireflies

potholes are plantholes

rather the lilly
which wilts
than a callused rose
for a tenderness
in place
of thorns
and
luxury
