in sisting
on sitting
in sitting
finding the poise
between zooming in on the breath
or sitting or being
and completely drifting away
from anything
if I feel my life is being a waste
I’ll zoom in like a superhero
if my life is just drifting along on some vibe
I’ll drift around in sitting
usually playing some tune
the actual work
is in recognising when I am too zoomed in
‘not too much’
‘gently’
‘overviewing’
‘it’s alright’
and when I have wandered
‘gently’
‘allowingly’
‘acceptingly’

breathing & sitting wormholes: unspectacularly / unexpectantly / undulatingly
distraction wormhole: holiday
living wormhole: staying alive
mind wormhole: session
thought wormhole: I will

your formatting calls for delving–
with your sitting there’s no fitting
on my phone, one needs the space
of this place, to feel the space–
your formatting fools the reader
it tells me this poem has
over six hundred and forty
words…fitting in this space
