Crazy

My sister
has turned
my house
into a fantasy land
of crazy wisdom.

Try To Work It Out

We can
forgive,
but we can't
forget,
so try
to kiss
and make up
with the bad times.

Simplify

In this world,
the beauty
is in the simple,
and the ugliness
is in the grey blob.

Ping Pong

So a man
said to me
that Zen
was like ping pong,
but I didn't understand,
because
when my sister and I
played ping pong
as kids,
I loved it,
but only
when I was winning,
and since
my younger sister
got so much practice
playing ping pong
with  me,
she got much better
than me,
and began
to whip my ass,
so then
I quit,
and I don't think
that Zen
is like that,
but that kind of thing,
this winning and losing,
is what bothers me,
about sports
and art
and everything,
and Zen says that
the loser wins,
but losing
makes me unhappy,
so I don't really think
that being a pathetic loser
like I sometimes think
that I am,
is so good,
so that's why
I gave up ping pong,
but I won't give up
art.

The Terror War

In the terror war,
the United States
is trying to develop,
or maybe even already has
a computer
that can read the minds
of terrorists,
or even anybody,
because they want to know
what the terrorists are thinking
before they do it,
unfortunately
there is a glaring ignorance
involved in this,
and that is
that the experts
don't know
that the moment
the computer
reads the terrorist's thoughts,
which are something like
"I have to go to the bathroom,
before I set the bomb off",
the terrorist's mind
being the eternal infinite thing
that the mind is,
will understand everything
about what is happening,
about the computer,
about the plans of the United States government,
about the people involved,
about everything there is to know
about the terror war,
whereas
the computer will only know
"I have to go to the bathroom,
before I set the bomb off",
and this is because
the machine is nuts and bolts
without any wisdom or compassion
or morality,
but the mind
is vast and beyond comprehension.

Seeing The Way

This morning,
I got a clear vision
of the way
and the anti-way,
and realized
that the way
is disliked by many,
and that the anti-way
is practiced by maybe most,
so I am in
a religion
which teaches the way,
but I am waist deep
in the quicksand
of the anti-way,
mainly because
as a young man,
I confused the anti-way
for the way,
and the way
is simple,
because it is the way
of wholesome virtue,
and that way
makes many of us gag,
even though
it is the true way
of peace, happiness, good health,
and love,
but I seem to know
that most of the world
is deeply buried
over its head
in this quicksand
of the darkness
of the anti-way,
but cheer up,
there's still hope.

The Buddha Bowl

I'm playing in the Buddha Bowl.
It's Buddha's team
against Mr. Big's team.
Buddha's strategy
is to lose.
Mr. Big's strategy
is to make
as many numbers
as his team
can possibly make.
Miley Cyrus
is on Mr. Big's team
and has a score
of well over
a hundred million.
Miley is a sexpot
and sexpots
make extremely good players
for Mr. Big's team.
I am a bad player
for Buddha's side,
because I have
a secret desire
to win some numbers,
because I don't want
to lose my shirt,
like Buddha wants us to.
So, I have a score
of about two thousand.
I hope I don't lose
my two thousand,
and I even secretly
want a million.
The Buddha bowl
has gone on throughout history
and Mr. Big
always wins
and Buddha always loses.
Rah team...
