what 'now'? 4/14/20

either it all comes here 
in a meltdown of particulars
or we go to that non-there 
of limited sensory means.
and that non-there has 
a nonexistent context 
for this 'either-or' premise.
here has all parts possible,
maybe eventually discoverable, 
as working in unity.
while non-there has 
un-divisible confluent oneness,
un-abided by our style 
of sorted and secular notions
of nominal comprehension.
for example,
our version of comprehension 
is standing tall,
high on the ridge of a mountain,
surveying all that is 
in the visual surround 
as in a one-minute experiential sketch.
while the mountain is 
of ancient living art itself, 
without being realized 
by us, as such.
we have it that 
language plays as a constant 
but is loosing every game with the 'now'.
it is as if a lion attacking 
from behind an unseen 
but thick clear plexiglas of the now,
as the emerging past 
is then experientially reflected
upon shockingly hitting that glass
with sensory impact resulting.
yet once again, 
but still confounded by now's presence. 
we are that lion of sensory-awareness.
now is always on the other side 
of that temporal plexiglas.
and we want the universe to openly bow,
honoring comprehension's advance
as if to adhere and comply.
for once again we are stifled by method
and by the construction of method
that falsely assumes the value and worth 
of comprehension as a means to an end.
we say we want that means to an end
but we expect that means as an addition
and not as a transformation.
we still want experience 
as spectators to do the work,
when all the methods of experience
are composed of verified short-comings
to say enlightenment, as we claim it to be.
so far, thought-provoked has excess baggage.
maybe experience as we claim it
is just a wardrobe error.
and we are chasing awareness
with the wrong press core effort.
if we go,
do we leave a 'behind'
and do we solely yet transformationally
come into the 'now'? . . .
