my mind begins to hum...

The Arhat of Bitter Reading
I wonder if there's no writing in the text
Or no words in my eyes
Or no me in the text
Or no text in my mind
Or if that text really exists at all
Or if this me has already vanished
Between heaven and earth
Only one dumb rock remains
Intricately patterned standing alone and quiet
Silent without a word

The Arhat of Bitter Thought
How confusing
I wonder whence came flying
This big burning rock
A heap of weird imponderable questions
As weighty as this, to fall into my arms
Totally without reason, colliding in my mind
Torturing me as I stand here
Dazed and foolish
With sweat dripping like bronze juice
Tongue curled like a wilted leaf
Just short of turning into a heap of
Fragmented rock
Cracked by parching thirst

figures bourne fire
stressed, tattered attire
from whence they came
to whence they go
none cries the same
they seldom show
for minds set lively
a girth of joy
their walk turns highly
they ware king's toy
to enthuse such one
from thoughtful war
to balance the strife
to even the score
a dream, a dream
a dream made real
to real to seem
you could not feel

well travelled enough to encourage it
niche born, niche found
like the more fully charismatic
to say "this niche from my hand, or thine, to mould"
or to merely see
and know
what's not done by thee
shown up for lack of a show?
but, young yet... & more to know
to curse an immature fig tree?
nay, let the whispers become song
a few well placed pillars amongst the landscape of thought
not to exceed material's spec
[youtube][/youtube]
but that we could discover hidden dance floors
and announce in silence
with the profundity of subconscious body language
"i get it"
instantiate vacuous truth

mishearing or data failure
distorted or misinterpreted real perceptionHypnosis is a distinctive, often trance-like mental state that is induced by
an organized pattern of suggestions, usually verbal in nature, beginning
with the suggestion of relaxation. The suggestions may be directly
induced by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, but may be also be
self-induced (self-hypnosis or autohypnosis/auto-suggestion).
Franz Mesmer in the 1700s believed that there was a magnetic fluid that surrounds the body.Although the long held popular view was that hypnosis is form of
unconsciousness, the informed contemporary view is that it is actually a
wakeful state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with
diminished peripheral awareness.

'here' is when things happen
'there' is hopeful slight
the useful learning, twether there or here
the skills words or pine
just as useful there and here?
the sky, the dream, the kind or mean
what of here that's nothing to there?
what of there, that couldna here?
every little fold of the brain
firing, singed, molten future
here is when
there is maybe
earth and sky is earth and sky
so here be the limit of the sense?
or could there make sense with here?
likely not without it
big.
round.
pertinent
electronic eavesdropping 'there',
to make here there version of cool
but the trendsetters din:
a dance confused?
or patently abused?
