states of being

 

states of being get cuckolded 

into meaningful states.

it is the sketch art 

of rendering experience.

it is the reductionism 

of rational mind's interpretation,

the phenominalization 

of pre-experience's worth,

where nuance occurs 

before labeling attends,

where what is, is before 

what is known takes it place.

where mentality, as flashcards, 

is attempting to name.

what if state of being 

has no rational shorelines?

what if to go there, 

leaves all else obvious out of frame?

what if that there is deeper 

than previous knownness ?

what if 'there' does not answer to inquiry?

what if one goes 'there' 

as part of being there, originally?

how much of self is unknowably unknown?

are there states of being 

that come and go without recognition?

their shared enormity, 

that ghosts us all, 

but separately?

what if void is not empty 

but bountiful?

how does perception of void falter 

in its observation?

what if presence from 'there' 

is too remote to bring some back?

is interpretation ever essence 

present and reserved?

states of being seem boundless 

but unidentifiable.

how can they then be called states of being?

there is nothing referential 

from within the essence.

no essence is accommodating interpretation's efforts.

referential is a state of banishment 

from essence source.

what to know provides the distance from it, 

to know of it.

if you were essence, 

would knowing have relevance?

languaging is a form of swimming 

so as not to drown.  

states of being do not model themselves 

for observational purposes.

if it happens, 

share from where you are, 

that can.

eventually, we all will journey 

to where no place exists.

where where has no location 

and our means has transcended itself 

as beyond the service and skills 

of referential 

that ever gets to be . . .
