earth school

Post by saw » October 11th, 2018, 7:23 am

reality
is earth school jesters
with wry senses of humor,
charismatic coquettes
sent to slap your chakras
'cross their ass cheeks
awaken the idle receptors
sitting in a basket by the front door
alongside the daily junk mail

we all need a little ice water
from time to time, over the head
the doldrums aren't congas or bongos
but they can be played
if you're clever and open
to visitors in the night sky
voices in the autumnal daze
when leaves of paralysis fall

to decompose,
the glorious cycle of rebirth....
my church is the forest, the pews
are trampled earth, the choir are avian
cardinals, not the stuffy red robes of dead religions
the sermons are delivered in LSD clouds,
psylisibin sunlight filtered through pine
you won't be saddled by crippling debt
earth school is free, so lace up your boots

grab your walking stick
leave your clingy ennui in the La-Z-Boy,
listen for the school bell in your skull
don't be a tardy fool.....
hit the ground hiking
left right left right left, leave
the minions of trumpland and CNN
for the woodsy aroma
of real life....
fuck the air fresheners hanging
from the rear view mirrors of substitute teachers
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

gorgeously inspirational. Unzipped and rid of wholesale bullshit, let’s re-enter earth’s true orbit and clearly be.

Really love this-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

The mention of either
Still has me at the kitchen table
Waiting for the next inspiration
I am ready
To find the passageway
To where I was that day...

and share it with a dog - he'll show you how to Be, without posing, without checking your hair or whether you're shirt's tucked in - just Be, celebrate the Animal that we all are
