oppression of the aging middle class
oppressive artificial lights
distracting most dreams
alongside ringing phones
and 500 copy paper reams
and you step out to the sun
and realize how fast it's gone
the ticking time bomb
of everyday
getting farther and farther
away
from what was
or could have been
silly squanders
of technology
or memories
could have been
tahiti
is it not odd
that the migraines
are as prominent
as my waistline
and every time i flush
i think about how much life
gets wasted
by
sticking to
stringency
and routine
to memory foam pillows
and labels facing forward
how can i release myself
from it all
and still
come 'round to spec
and know that i lived dreams
yet made a perfect home for return
words upon words
over days, months & years
pointing to
the same thing
all spent wondering
contemplating
in a cushioned nook of life
debating the safe & ripe
morsels of confirmed paths
keep this little mouse on
the safe track
but i tell you
i will
change.

"...What is important is here and now. Now is definitely now. We try to experience what is available there, on the spot. There is no point in thinking that a past did exist that we could have now. This is now, this very moment, nothing mystical, just now, very simple, straight forward.
And from that nowness, however, arises a sense of intelligence, always, that you are constantly interacting with the reality one by one, spot by spot, constantly. We actually experience fantastic precision always. But we are so threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future.
Paying attention to the materials that exist in our life, such rich life that we lead, all these choices take place all the time, but none of them are regarded as bad or good, per se, everything that we experience are unconditional experience. They don't come along with a label by saying that this is regarded as bad, this is good, but we experience them but we don't really pay heed to them properly, we don't actually regard that
we are going somewhere, regard that it is a hassle, waiting to be dead.
That's the problem. That is not trusting the nowness properly but what is actually experienced now possesses a lot of powerful things. It is so powerful that we can not face it. Therefore we have to borrow from the past, invite future, all the time..."
