the self-drive of Hinayāna the Strait Way
the laser-way to just
snuff out this wholly illusory self
these wholly illusory selves (which is all ‘me’ I tells ya a-Ha-ha-ha-haa)
“must-defeat-kleśas …”
(meeting each one with tumbleweed silence)
“must-combat-self …”
(the root of proliferation of all other ‘not-me’s)
the extremest of all possible
imbalances – phfff
is maintained
it is, after all, the Buddha’s teaching, socially-taught, scripturally-crafted
but immersed in unending waves
over the longest fetch and the deepest fathom way below apparent
of the Buddha’s / the Buddhas’ oceans of conducts – exponential
squared and then squared exponentially again
to an existential incision
which finds neither root nor core
fulfilling the Buddha’s / the Buddhas’ (those come, immanent,
imminent and me) prayers
that “I” (amid all possible beings,
along with all the possible beings I have become in time and perpetuity, with whom I am related and have ever-performed the most awkward of dances, magnetic forces perpetually reversed) become Enlightened
is perpetually renewed
is perpetually redressed
is both perpetual and effulgent
the centre to the circumference where the centre starts apart
but widens the circle as it forms its own empty whorl
of the Extensive Way
it is, after all, the Buddhas’ teaching
to be relied on
implicitly

being & Buddha wormhole: this pocketed being
identity wormhole: taking birth
practice wormhole: ‘the practice …’
silence wormhole: time
time wormhole: the inevitable tock // when we close our eyes
