237 – Coda
Bits and pieces
Of a broken mind
Looking for
A place to park.
Binary windhorses
Carry one and zero blessings.
A digital enlightenment
Webcast live as it unfolds
Under the tangled branches
Of a full-duplex
Bodhi tree network.
A golden bowl burrito special,
Omniscient view of life
And karma.
For one ninety-nine extra
Would you like an extra side
Of fries and clarity
With that?
All the mind can wonder:
Does it include
Free refills?
Bells ring,
Multicolored lights flash,
The announcer blared into the mike:
“Congratulations!
You are now enlightened!”
A simple, denim-robed monk
Stands up, and takes
A silent bow.
The armies of forever
Roar from deep inside
A vintage Harley engine.
Who needs to fight
When all the lines to defend
Have already been erased?
Lust and pleasure bitch-ride
As he wheelies into legend,
Letting the chrome shine
And the rubber burn.
