On work #1

The sun sets and the day softens.

As it happens so often,

The end of an adventure.

A tired body ready for the future.

Red, white & blue

Front to back, through and through I’m a hack.
Looking at this track, I no longer know what’s a fact.

In and out, everything makes me want to shout.
Skinned like a trout, I’m getting ready for the next bout.

Red, white and blue, always gave me such a fright.
Like a child in the night, I’m blind without any insight.

Lacking humility, I suffer the woes of absent tranquility.
Jump’in up and down, my tantrum is crowned with a frown.

This deep rent in my heart, what is the spark of this discontent?

A cup

Learning, doing, 
No learning, no doing.

Empty space relating,
To all that is uniting,
In that which is unrelenting,
Yet never occurring.

It exists without itself,
And thus ends up on the shelf.
