there,
that fidgeting ‘no’
and the cloud of a
thousand irritations,
that flick the switch
without audible click,
the not-should-somes
the way-shoulds and always
the don’t-like-doesn’ts,
the no-good-nothings
and me, and me, and me a thousand
and one times a day,
build me up accumulated,
become familiar,
remind me that I don’t like,
recognise myself as don’t
like, corroborating me
evident to just as it is; I’ll
go looking for it when
feeling unsure, make me
constructed again – girder
rivet, graunch – hold the
gantry and pucker in
the face of all adversity, my
steely face’ll s t r e t c h
like leather and I’ll draw the line
in the sand all around me
like a corpse taken away
for inevitable forensics;
no, the practice of patiences
are a billion-fold and perpetual
opening throughout time
into a grandiloquent lotus
from Bodhisattvacharyavatara VI, 2: There is nothing so destructive and negative as hatred or aggression; there is no discipline or austerity stronger than tolerance, forbearance or patience. Consequently it is only right to practise and cultivate patience and to do so constantly and persistently in all ways and in all situations.
