strawberry joyous

Haunting
hustling hurrying harrowing hurling – hush.
John, if I knew one, would be right.
Take the marmalade
and spread
it over the bread.
Taste it as

the eyes taste light.
Yes. Simple emptiness,
delicious shine. Buddha sits

in the TV room. The rain clouds.
It is good jam.

against the buddha

buddhahood lights

banging
my head
against
rock hard
reality

my bottles
of beer are
empty
and
my mind
full of
quack

unattainable
unreachable
undefinable
unutterable
unknowable
unrealistic

Buddhahood

the rain droplets
on the window pane
are particularly
quiet

alas.
