2011, 5*, Bodhisattva, growth, life, management, performance, speech, Superman, talking to myself, teaching
I heard the rationalisations made by others when my parents separated
the state- agree- and pro-claims that come-on-now put life
together again
I have always distrusted the way others have seen things-are
over folded arms leaning on brooms
leaning on rhetorical interrogatives
for agreement – the essential glue of life
so I developed my own view and picture
by default
in contradistinction to the broom
the bartered agreed proclaimed understandings
think alternatively from the usual
build myself alternatively from the usual
pride myself alternatively from the usual
when I was young I didn’t present my take
because I was young
when I was a teen I questioned usuality but ended up hurting people
and then shut up because they wouldn’t like me
when I was older I kept quiet in order to be-the-bodhisattva So That
Others Might Live
(actually I colluded with others that I was head-in-the-clouds
and mostly useless)
but the school kept sloganizing for better performance
kept provoking me to think about teaching
I couldn’t help it they kept goading me ‘this
is the way things are’
I placed my thoughts carefully in the rocket ship
and shot them into the sky tucked-up cohesive dotted and teed
they would grow to have a fine blue chest
but still they came from an alternative world
still they would always be alien to the norm
for them to be listened to would be to redefine how things are seen
and why would they do that?
and why would I hope that they would?

life & management & teaching wormhole: after all
performance wormhole: purity
speech wormhole: yes
talking to myself wormhole: right effort
