there is a formal
nature to the "teas," the brush
the inked letters, that

in a world of winds
earthquakes, tsunamis, so on
there is just tea, for

when your mad christian
finally goes away or dies, I am
nothing, there is just, tea

time marches on

one of the key problems of
my aesthetic is that it gets defensive and genuinely angry and takes things literally personally and when I saw I want to hurt the person, I should think to do something far more effective, the simple playground rule of "ignore" because a bully pushes buttons to get results: a reaction.

One of my less healthy but stubborn beliefs is in an evangelical Christian view of God as forgiving and social flaws as being literal spirits and not just human foiables but personalities without bodies that can misdirect people into conflict with one another over trivialities like oh, bulletin board trolling or how long a poem is.

I don't think I'll learn till
I am not here to speak my mind

there is a common
desire in art to seem "cool" which
is a false zen nature

all unattached but still
without soul and without God
this is how I understand "modern cool" as a kind of Pharisee state of mind for the modern age

by now go to recess
the king hung the court
jester in a fit of rage and
a week later

missed his court jester
no joy in the kingdom
no bells, silent streets

serenity and sometimes
the real mind is not social thing
but a solitary one

there is no one to play
court jester or art critic
only silence and the

peace of only one voice
which is what zen really
is, it just, is

suicide eh? :)

what would u get from
a person who hungers for
a kind word for once

what if you had a
good thing to say to someone, rather

than be a sophisticated
Zabadooey in a way, and
mock in that hateful

Godless, scholarly form
of dry, dead, uncreative
literary critics? which

is why modern writers
generally are like
a dusty living dead

they have nothing good to say period

Dead leaves lay scattered
Icy lace pathway through Woods
Drawn I must follow
*
Where are we going?
My trust freely given but
Where are you leading?
*
So many questions
Center myself, quiet my mind
Accept ebb and flow
*
Life has it planed out
What part I play is unknown
But play it I must

we had a class of
creative writers who had
nothing good to say

about each other
at least in here the humor
although unchristian

and "worldly" and a
bit overcompetitive
(the mind's ideas are

not a pie which one
runs out of see...), it's better
for critics and readers

we all are to a degree
so some of us give up
and write doggerrel...

dog...do...ahem to
ourselves, ode to what
asses could have been kissed

to gain praise of this
world

I read self help books
thinking it will teach me how
to kindly deal with these

what is zab, a child?
a bully, a heckler? rename all
and any of these, response

compare zab to hitler
most people whether isolated
socially confused sorts

like myself, or even
those who get too caught up
in society might have

some empathy, some see
this as a weakness, seig heil
and so build gas chambers

chew rugs, live in bunkers
hang paper from the wall
get mocked by Charlie Chaplin

where is the Principle Centered Life when I am
nothing but a goal for

someone who wants to
deal with my own fuck ups
why bother living morally

when all I get is "blah blah blah"
he's funny...I shoot myself
in real life

I go away, for good
"ha ha ha, he shot himself"
like a thousand times before

like a thousand times before
becomes reality unless some
better reality comes along

I will make the better reality
the gun forever lying, never
used,
never bought
lugers dad dug special

truth is never cast your pearls before swine
animals only recognized instinct
"get me my beer and ham sammichs" fucking pig
first you tear our pearls

which I have finallty come to appreciate, I've lost a bit of pork fat of spirit

but then you turn and rend us

hell is real...when you get
there, mock me all you want with blah blah blah

you will not have time
to repent when you arrive

the office bully
hangs out, mocking whomever
staying in one spot

until fired, you
see them plot their little games
and only by blowing

the ambition reversed
a mockery of real
action and doing...

they sit at home and
we all have a bit of this
in us, where's my

Bible when I need it

I am living here
alone, at home with urges
to lash out at this

world in some way to
make them see that I need out
and I want to live

but as I am i
want to die instead of taking
care of mindless old

aging, senile, dated
antique people who need to
die in order for

that person to get a life
and they are so old
only death sets those

around them free

internet silence;
no signal so often now,
just like the old days

silence isn't deaf,
or dumb, or not listening,
it hears everything

heartbeats, soulbeats, mind
it breathes life, drowns background noise,
gives clarity space.

new perspectives grow,
shadows lengthen then grow dim,
sunlight brightens me

leaves shadows small, safe.
I walk brave and heart-strong now,
open to light, love

free of binding ghosts,
old patterns rewoven, fresh
open to new life

news is coming soon
adventures, discovery,
inner mining - gold!

to be provoked, make mistakes

of a public flogging

yes Zab, I have a small
dick but I am sure you
have insecurities

that your tiny little mind
could never admit
unless they found you

a little real life story
for you Zab...there was this
kid who gave me a hard

time at a job, wouldn't
stop... I got done, he was
17... months later

i was afraid...they found
him with a noose around
his neck, no one to lash

out at, dead, his nephew
found him, I felt no empathy
or remorse when i saw

his name in the obituary
now i know I set myself
in the firing line but

I suspect if you whoever
you are didn't have someone
to lash out at

your sad ass would be
found, alone, dead, naked
autoerotic release

and thrown into the soil
another wasted life
full of the shallow
depthless poison of a "smart"
mind which

really isn't that smart
and lies to itself...cal it
"Max-turbation" if you
must and mock my overreaction to you

whatever... someday
someone will get to you
in a way that makes you

think twice about spewing
idiocy in a public square
and in private to
embarass you

i wonder how you
would respond if I were
to actually sodomize you

with my small dick?
