80

Post by Artguy » September 19th, 2014, 4:56 pm

The poets own the world
The bankers are just borrowing it for now
The interest is far too low
Leonard Cohen
You are 80 on Sunday
Your Roshi has passed through the bardos
Mt. baldy is empty
But everything is empty anyway
there is no you
No me
Why the F***
am I writing

why the fuck do we breathe
why the hell do we
piss, shit, sleep, eat, fuck
vulgar, yes but fact
mom died a week shy of 80
why the fuck do we write
why the hell don't we write
where does the dust go
let's just watch the river flow
me I feel like I'm becoming some kinda Kung fu t.v. Priest.....
