Delirious Philosophies

When we are delirious with the delirium of sickness we begin to ask those ?'s what is the meaning of life? Is there a God? Heaven and Hell? Is time circular, like the mandala spherical like baby Jesus' bouncing ball blasting the cosmos into existence Big Bang and Cap'n Crunch cosmic Shiva tap dancing on the dead midget of Self Or: Is it linear, like Pinocchio's nose the dark pencil sketch the artist shading in the gray fog of the misty minds eye trembling under Red blanket White blanket Blue boxers patriot of a 1,000 souls a philosopher who philosophizes the green gunk upchuked from the chimneys of our soul contemplating truths and scripture Lotus-leaf=a symbol of the androgyne before Adam, before Eve before Steve even before the Masculine God patriarchal playground Before, the Mother Goddess with her angry menstrual cycle and tree being birthed from her gaping maw before the Big Bang jizzim of the universe there was the androgyne sitting in a bubble looking at Earth Stanley Kubrick eat your heart out 2001 times When you have this delirious mind, when the flu of Benicia the hydra with a thousand Double Rainbow flavors gets the best of you of your immune system hear the ringing of the bell as they box for your painful enjoyment Remember these moments of deep contemplation and pause like The Buddha under Bodhi Moses on Sinai Jesus in Gethsemane Muhammad on Hira Remember to smile
