Black Out Blues Rub A Dub Dub
Life Is But A Dream……

OM
You heard about
Borth Old age sickness Death
Don't be a stranger
Death's coming for yall later
None of you get it
You deconstruct 
Socially construct impossible 
Immortality 
Deathless 
Fantasies 
All you wish
Death is the elephant in the room
Death ain't going nowhere 
Coming to get you

Maybe it's time
You asker Buddha
How to cross over
stormy waters 
Cuz Buddha 
Light Shining 
Within you

But me 
Ordinary 
Best you ask
Buddha 
Person 
Instructions 
Black Out Blues
Ignorance

Loving 
Toad
Licking 
Rub a dub Dub 
Merrily Merrily 
Merrily
Life is but a dream

Might not seem
To make sense
But Buddhas
Dream teachings true
Thing I got zero
Understanding 
Cuz yall and me
We all ignorant 
So let's do 
Hugging 
Body
Rubbing
Loving

Ain't it Sounds tasteless
Yea we all got that in common too
Do it differently 
Woopi Whoopi 
Baby's used to come out of binary
Now that Old binary sleight of hand
Used in binary way
To imprison us
But none of us get it
Thankfully 

Buddha love us all
Equanimity big time
Live us all all all
Equally Equally 
Swaha

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

I'm Finally Free…. 🕊️ I've scattered What did it even matter Looking back now Don't understand How I went down Your highway So fast It was crystal clear It couldn't last Now I'm out back In the shadows With the creepy crawlers Slytherin in the bayou's  Before the sun It shone so bright Now there's only darkness Tell me where is the light At least I can see You're a dead end for me Apart from you at last Thru my suffering I'm finally free 🕊️ David Arndt January 29th, 2023 🕊️ January 31st, 2023 🕊️ Artwork - The Bride and the Wind by Oskar Kokoschka
