Zen Mode

memory short
stupor deep
with our fulcrum 
inside mind-body
held captive in
matrix of duality

we are asleep

our luminous being
formless and eternal
at all times present
as innate awareness
is all there is
when identity recedes

we’re then awake

immersion in trance
as of choiceless choice
feeling pangs of separation
the fleeting joy of union
concealing and revealing
itself to itself

seen as a game inane
