just take off a layer
or walk around
topless 
i am the archpriest
eating sugar puffs
i am the prelate
eating bagels
i am halfway
in
and halfway 
out the window 

the mother-in-law wants it off
i am not for sale
my successors are labouring
like hercules
the hidrosis is formulaic 
like glib one-liners

"it's bad for the...

AI

AI stories

Are unending

Algorithms untiring

Reaching into their

Immense conditioning

To concoct what

Attracts and repulses..

Hmmmm..

Conditionality of your love is exploding under my fingers, 
under one of my potential hands
What took place goes forward and returns. 
Fear and my back against the wall.
I hear voices deafened by my attempts, 
Somewhere in the distance,
gliding over the edge, 
inviting the banality.
Identification and...

The breeze of AC, the murmur of conversation, a hearty bustle. A cocoon built of gifts, fused by will. Comfort, warm touches, the caress of the past. A place to worship. A place to build, to return you with gifts of your own. 

I spurned...

The shabby hotel rooms were dank and dour
An indigent family blinked in the dark
Too dull to see much at this wake-up hour
The man of the family has such a bark.

A new baby! How marvelous! An unthinking person said.

Conditioning

Is what we all

Carry along with us..

All of those boundaries

And attitudes toward

What confines and frees..

Then to discover..or not

That Freedom is overlooked

In our life as lived......

Some men are breast men,
some men are leg men.
Some men are butt men,
and some men focus on that area most feminine.
This behaviour that men display towards women,
is all due to a lifetime of conditioning.
Primitive tribesmen admire the whole woman,
and caress from the top of their...

my parents never liked air conditioning
only turned it on for company
not every summer day, maybe twice in August

used to the heat and being sweaty
hard workers who cared little for luxury
did not hold stock in...

What we ritualise
Is illusion in disguise
Blocking divine surprise

Of pristinity

Mantra then not by choice
But guided by inner voice
As in stillness we rejoice 

Divine connectivity 

Take the mantra Ohm
Manifesting a bliss dome
Vibrationally our true home

Reclaiming divinity

No pattern following
No self within anticipating
Save innocence celebrating

Timeless eternity...

Conditioning 

Is seemingly

What we are..

Patterns inlaid

Are there for 

Comparisons..so that

An appearance might

Be labeled and

Understood..

Such a story may 

Arise......

("Pema", 2017, original pen and ink)

The Journey of Souls

Dogs make the ultimate example
Of a conditionable being,
And my deaf-dog buddy
Old Pema the Pug is no exception.

Meanwhile Buddhists of all faiths
Believe reincarnation effects us all
And involves the journey
Of a soul through countless lives,
The idea of improving our...
