ZEN

Zen

How could I store this material…
On this page, freezing myself from
Unknown meaning maps?

Zen has a corner market
On human nature’s relation
To human mind, the human
Mind that prickles perks at
Some things, you have salvaged
Through a haphazard life.

Since you are conscious of
Yourself as a distinct moment
Then appearance is no different
Than desire and
Intuition is more valuable
Than knowledge.

These human truths are only
Shadows of the real truths
That human nature knows what
It doesn’t know
And it doesn’t know
What it knows
And how can that harm you
Even if it’s not true?

You know you are now the captain of
Your own body, a well lived
Body, learning from the sharp
Cuts and jags you are just
Coming to sad manhood.

Calm now, the universe
Assembles itself
If you ask me
It’s you who is really lost.

Sluices of meanings shows
Balm of naked honesty
Painful with words that make
No meanings, information is
The only key component in
This language game.
