Life.

Life

The purpose of life is not waking up

Thinking you’ve lived a half-assed life.

In the dreams that you seek, you begin

To dwell on the fact that nothing will

Ever change, that change takes time,

That nothing will ever be the same again.

Buddha says everything takes time.  Buddha

Says there are all things great and grand.

Life is in how you live it, not in what other

People tell you.

If you want to buy a motorcycle, then buy

A motorcycle.  It is very simple.

Life is simple, my friend said, late one evening

In September, after the torrid rains had torn

Everything apart, to the smallest miniscule. 

The smallest microscopic organism. 

Some people are very polite; others, not so

Polite.  We weed by example.  We are not

The example.  Somebody once said,

That to dream is to be of the flesh.  I think it

Was my brother, who was a motorcyclist and

Had gotten a parking ticket late one afternoon

While getting his hair cut.

To dream is to err.
