Why does the Dalai Lama smile and laugh?
When does he feel the pain of everyone?
Is it at night, when he travels in our dreams,
To see where we have been and all the unique
And beautiful things weve seen,
Is it when he bathes, or has his head shaved, is
It when he prays, because hes not meant to feel
Anything when he prays, if I could ask,
Why he always laughs, I would probably laugh,
And he can ask himself every day! He knows
The secrets of our fate, perhaps thats
Because he constantly prays, we are all destined to be
Eternally loving our selfish selfless human suffering.
Youll find nothing here, but am

There is no greater feeling
Betwixt and Between, straddling the fence
A words stuck halfway between your mouth and your arse,
(The media, to mediate, to meditate, up above fate
In the centre of a heart, amidst the extent and the start,
We shall sit, and there is nowhere else we could ever have been,
And there is nowhere else we would rather be
Than where we will always be
And this is nowhere, and this is now
And we are nothing, but it feels like everything,
And thats what counts.
A world awaits your eyes fixate betwixt the simile and the noun
In the heavens, in the void, in this macrocosmic dream,
There is nowhere we havent or will not be or been
Make every line make them gasp
Make every word a heart attack
I can feel that mantra, more than my skin.
Beginning would be to assume there was a place for me to begin.
I bathe in bright truth true only to me.
As ashes escape an urn, I release every word.
I hear each strange new sound more than I've ever heard.
In each pair of eyes I cross I see sky, in each page I turn I read pi
With a smile, that's a circle, it waves hello/goodbye
Out of all the things I've done, the hopes I've lost,
the hearts I've won, out of each and every one
the best is saved for last, a rest, from constan

The End of the Beginning
A trick death to their breasts from
A wasp, wafts native from our lofts, some skum
Streetkid deadbeat punks with patches
parched from laughs they march on ministry
well and swell round our black guard bases-------
at the hatches, catch the latches; it's not hard, they're just faces
by the fires for the thatches, place the bourgeois
just in case the scapegrace break and in their chaos chase,
it's lucky we have the U.S.M.C-------
waves of letters filed like debtors, spill and fill our hearts with glass:
"you'd better not tell us what to do"
with their fliers we build fires, but all they serve is to inspire
In smoke the skies cry wor
Our bodies are such fragile things!
Lifeframes, taking photos on the Empire State
Screaming madness
Seas no, oceans of stars up & down & out
To the horizon
Funny grins upon our faces, flinging pennies overboard
Look Di is climbing out to take a photo down!
Fuck fuck fuck fuck dont fall fuck face flat down
Ill take your photo stranger
Ill point out famous rectangles
Lets point,
Lets point,
Lets point out this moment
Thankyou Diana yr good.

I am like a tree in the wind
You & me we are alike, we are
Not quite the same, but nothing is
That is why I am only like a
Tree in the breeze of life, now I am a
Wave on the shoreline, and one twist
Of fates knife.
The cold day did not warm until I warmed to it
The rain did not cease until we swam in it
Outside amidst the abyss, the stars are dancing, 100 billion years ago
They kissed.
And when everything is one, we will live again
Until then lets all understand: there is no blame
Out in the acid rain well meet, for the first time in our first lives
We will feel content, leave footprints in the dust of the dead of all we knew existed
Side by side, as the ocean sighs, it is as transient as they
Our soles fall through space in an arc of exceeding grace
Where the pull to the sun equals the drop into the abyss,
And on the precipice of
Cold shivers, underneath a microscope, you look like the sun
Papa, when I die, pin me up against the sky
See me fade with the stars, at dawn break youll see what Ive become
A spirit for a minute, a fleeting fixed desire
Hiding in-between the grooves of your favourite chorus
In the time it takes for a match to lose its fire
I will expire, into
A song sung in a circle
With friends, late by the fire
Just a fleeting fixed desire
Warm shivers, out beyond a telescope,
Ill one day be your Son
Like city lights, receding
I can feel a car, its breathing
Toasted winds with angel wings
And the sounds they sing through the bushland soul
And blood seeps into the distance, back into the Earth
To bring Gold out to our greedy eyes
As the sun sinks beneath a weeping sky
The night is the Pacific Ocean
All outta luck,
at the bus stop.
Staring at the sidewalk,
on the road.
Thinking of the consequence,
on the bus trip.
Smelling the sunlight
in your home.
But wherever we may roam,
remember,
life is not language, angles and tone
but living, loving, letting go.
imagine your in a field
lying down
and theres a slight breeze
which you can feel upon your cheeks and your bare skin
its sunset
and the sun is glaring through the trees on the side of the field, just dull enough to look at if you squint your eyes
and theres a cow
underneath the trees
and its your perfect temperature
you can see the wind move the flowers and the grass all around you
and the cow turns its head to look at you very very slowly
thats how you know your not alone
look at that, look how very fucking old that is. you still exist on the internets. we have an ep out, if you would still like to make a package, maybe it couldwould suit that.
