Freedom

Do the deeds have meaning?

If I laze around,

 read poetry

watch movies

scroll through 

    Instagram posts

sip coffee and

listen to music and books,

do deeds create good karma?

Deeds with no desire and no fear.

No attachment to the paycheck,

except perhaps the guilt

    of lack thereof.

Does the guilt alone take away

 the goodness of it?

Does freedom need an anchor?

Sorrows I Invent

Reference

 

The day my life-water rises to joyful level

I will spill some happiness out to the world.

For now I am doing my best to soak in the sorrows

--the sorrows I invent and make-believe.

Life worth living

Fuck it. 

Big man learns to lay low 

and take things slow. 

Little electricity runs up the fibers to the brain, 

sings me those happy songs 

with the smell of monsoon rain. 

Fly over it. 

Over those beautiful mounds 

amidst the piercing ringing sounds. 

Smell of honey and pale root 

soothes as they run down the throat. 

Dream, 

as if life is a fire raging through town 

burning down the sounds of children screaming 

leaving behind life not worth living.
