While In a Transcendent State
I comfortably position
derriere with pride
(all cheekiness ass side)
lightly seat dated, inside
ideally with bifocals removed,
recalling "Plato's allegory of the caves,"
where everything espied
a blur, more so (from mine
severe myopia) conjures
dark shadows flickr ring across,
the edge of night - stride
rite across dreamy field of vision,
no matter (despite)
superfluous squinting briefly applied
across webbed whirled wide
universe till ocular orbs
instagram, snapchat, and
shutterfly, lids slowly slide
shut, whence immediately
dark doth light divide
consummate relaxed mindset
frame imbued, and imbibed,
where gentle existential
awareness dost glide
ever so nonchalantly,
my consciousness of self I abide
faintly effortlessly breathing n'er decide
ding nor discriminating spontaneous
notions nothing intruding denied,
flitting to and fro, hither and yon
of each inhalation and exhalation,
then, aye approximate,
I imagine an analog clock
some few minutes elapse,
when minute hand silently sweeps,
re: completing micro orbitz ride
ding tiny armature nsync as thought
processes soundlessly, mindlessly,
and independently elide
into mild trance send dint altered state
akin subtle difference,
where engaged bachelorette
becomes a bartered, bettered,
and buttered bride
likewise with meditation disembodied self
ascends cerebral cortex
figuratively lapping - sea ming lee
asper gentle timeless tide
buoyed by bobbing
mantra setting placidity
wordlessly teasing, massaging, and
evoking enchanting ecstasy
motioned via film meant invisible guide.
