linear thinking’s seduction 8/25/19


seduced by linear thinking.
it is always the initial interior voice,
face to invisible face
as if a first responder,
in an intimate self-to-self conversation.
it assumes a sense of appropriate self-scale
yet not necessarily fully logical
but immediate and immanently applicable 
as it seems.
it’s what self-intimacy does.
pick and choose 
seem to be the logic at hand.
it can feel like one is standing 
in front of a greeting card rack,
about to make 
what one would call,
'a choice'.
one’s linear mind can stream like this
for the whole day.
for then, the story of your day is 
just paraphrases 
taken from this linear thinking account,
while any other voice feels like 
it’s overheard.
it’s like someone else 
is in the private elevator of self,
with you.
you could strike up 
an interior conversation with them,
but what the hell do they know?
that could easily be your unsaid remark.
after all, you have not formally met before this.
oh, but you have.
as one’s linear mind is so forgetful
in this way.
once again forgetting 
that the linear mind is solely predicated 
on the separateness of being 
who it assumes itself to be.
and therefore linear thinking 
is always at the mike,
and everyone else is assumed as 
the audience in surround.
only to eventually discover,
one is not a soloist 
on the stage of their being.
and if one was to wake up within,
they might discover 
that linear thinking is only a squeaky wheel 
on the cart of soulful passage,
also living for the dream of delivery . . .
