mind-full-ness as the journey


anything in mind focus 

is a false prominence.

it is 

as if ice skates on glaciers,

as if white chalk scrawled 

on a passive blackboard,

ink embarrassed 

as print on a page,

a flashlight on 

in a swamp of darkness,

visual focus on anything 

that is less or more than a gaze,

the name assignments given to designate 

that is human objectified,

the foreground frenzy of valued

becoming falsely dignified,

any language base

that is less than holographic,

any movement that is mentally specified

as from an 'a' to a 'b'.

we are a species of myopia,

thriving in a world of dander.

where anything visually sighted

is just an eye chart test, 

falsified by recognition.

we have rights and privileges

as species specificities. 

we have lights for night times

and dark rooms and shading for the days.

we have the status of privileged 

as a form of isolation 

and yet esteemed. 

we invented the prop-fest 

of a livable world.

confluence and alignment are

our lives on a learning curve.

we invented entertainment

to dumb-down our curious minds.

we took to memory

to distort our sense of scale.

all of our know

only becomes the passing of story-able.

we are still migratory

with impudence and mental impedance. 

from birth to death,

we are brushstrokes taken.

breath is our wealth,

and mind-full-ness, 

is our death threat journey . . .
