Picture this
Meeting with forty-three women
Two men
Six at each table
An extra squeezed in to one.
Picture this
I always sit by the loudest and proudest
The most egotistical
The one who always gladly shouts out every answer
Sometimes wrong
Sometimes right
Does not count the wrong ones.
Even if we laugh
Picture this
Loud and proud at another table
Selects herself to be spokesperson
Suddenly realizes she has done the task incorrectly
Turns on a co-worker and yells
“YOU SAT THERE AND WATCHED ME DO THIS ALL WRONG!”
Not once, but twice. Screamer's face turns tomato.
Nervous laughter.
Except me.
I was laughing flat out
Loud and proud
Great for any meeting

Seem To Be Egocentric
There are those who seem to be egocentric,
And lead us around circles often concentric;
Stupid for sure;
Hard to endure;
To him this pattern of behavior does stick.

The first breath of my life, made so many people smile...
Where are they now ? If i wonder for a while...
On that day they all looked happy, they all looked bright...
Never saw them again, as they have gone far away from my sight...
At that time, they held my hand and kissed my head...
They all pretended our relationship to be as pillow and a bed...
They were with me until they had personal thrist...
I was mistaken, i wish i could have understood the world at first...

If yin is Time's regenerate intention
then yang is Spatial Will,
emerging tri-dimensional plans and structures
of evolutionary form to grow
transform
polyculturally regenerate
Yintegrity's advent
resonantly fluid void of sacred Place,
transparently and ubiquitously stretchin,
Incarnating metaphysical timespace,
excarnating EarthLife spacetime
breathing in as out,
ego/eco-conscious Alpha within
as Omega without,
birthing midway Mass
of bicamerally dipolar
co-arising Adventurous Peace.

The matrix drinks the words,
in the anonymity of opaque meanings.
Heart slips a flutter,
to catch the unborn tomorrow.
The deep azure measures the depth, the fear,
drowning the architect,
generic of doom.
A drop floats in an ocean of solitude,
a static milieu which has no quivering of its own.
The roots always give pain.
Your eyes are filled with tears.
Now final image
was a memoir of falling leaves.
The dark effect splinters,
into many seeds.
The space widens between us in a
hush of loneliness.
Egocentric wind scrapes our bones.
