Zen Mode

if we see not space flicker
revealing the light supreme

if we smell not sublime fragrance 
that osmotically penetrates space 

if the hear not music of the spheres 
causing the transcendent to be immanent 

if we taste not soma nectar dripping within
transmuting each cell of feeble form

if we are attuned not to bliss magnetism 
touching, grazing, caressing organic body

if our totality of being insentient to all these
are we not then merely a dead man walking
