The Odyssey, First Steps


"The Odyssey, First Steps"

"You’re just like a doll...
you're like a doll,
in a dream", he said,

I nod, up then down,
as if my head moves
by puppet master

I turn with the strings
like a piece of furniture
facing East door, then,

the ghost in me arises 
from its chair 
and like an automaton,

I walk, through the door
I walk, I turn North, 
as if drawn 

by architecht
Sthapatya Veda; 
the Odyssey, first steps

looking for 
the way to 
Brahmasthan 

the centre 
pulls me back

so...what is it all about Alfie? below all of this is what it is all about....your eyes lie for a reason, you see blue but the reality of it....it is violet and the reason you cannot see the violet is because of the rods in your eyes....do not bother with the hands around you, command the ones you have and what is all about Alfie is the difference your hands make....great progenitor of think about it...loved what results from this....
