i'm embarking on a smile experiment.
i'll smile,
take tallies,
and return with results.
two days worth.
lets see what happens...
i think that each of us is capable of being midwives to our personal philosophies and thus can easily dissuade the influence of powerhouse schools of thought we find pervasive in mass media, our parents, church, and even institutions of learning. i think we can be assassins of mediocrity and boredom, and can prove to ourselves that the world is not set...that we are authors of our books, spies of our perceptions, and scientists of our behaviors.

seedling
i'm on my way to the trees
the sea
and wind
and to think that i can even state this
without reason
is such a thought
because it implies my separation
which is unnatural
i yearn to discover if the trees
can hear my thoughts
and share my feelings
because they are so still
and in stillness comes clarity
perhaps they may bend to my inner experience
or in fact
i may bend to theirs
yet
if anything
i would be grateful to feel at least for
a moment
that i can tune in to the pulse of the earth
and the universe
and sever my deep involvement with civilization
so i may appreciate all that is around me
and begin to identify with the idea of
us
we
as not a coexistence of me or i and the beauty
of this world
but instead
a singular i
as in i am the world and the world is i

sky holds the sun
life, despite your influence on my desire to
keep tender with your close cousin nature,
you've managed to keep a steady pace
on good business in babylon, so
in lieu of this, thank you
so much and i offer
my deepest
gratitude.
love,
me

peach, plum, pear
what is beautiful...
can be witnessed in a single fleeting moment.
it's unaware of itself
and without ego.
idiosyncracies take recognition.
it is full and complete.
it births immediate sympathy.
it takes you by surprise
and whirls round and round naturally,
flexing its power
to show the truth of humanity in all its raw form
through uninhibited expression
of pain
delight
and everything sincere.

this fish
sliced open my world,
juiced it like an orange spinning clockwise
and i sipped it gently
as my knees began to wobble,
so i tripped and fell
now felt constellations frankenstein
