And the end of the road
maybe there’s nothing attained
and no one to blame
nothing to do
nowhere to go
To nurse a coffee
listen to danceable songs
read poems a bit
Be here for a while
Set aside all the negations
all the talk and thought
The theme, you can tell,
if you have been here before,
just a suggestion
Write a poem, or
read, think, pause, the choice is yours
Games are for playing
But not all folks are players

Zazenkai, Second Day, Sunrise 2/18/2023
(dukkha) All This Dharma, All This Sangha, ALL THIS BUDDHA (-nature?)!
Still, with everything, I cannot balance on my seam without my thumb falling asleep
Breathe. again (dukkha)

(apparently r/zen_poetry is restricted? Figure I'd post here if it's alright with mods - checked the rules, and I think it's on topic respective to rule 5? Maybe suggest that replies be more in tune with zen and stuff, but other than that I think it seems pretty ok)
[edit]
(apparently I also posted a call I meant for r/Zen_Art here? sorry for "double posting" or whatever, not my intention)

THE VOID
Have you ever bounced off the wall of The Great Nothing?
I mean that Place in which the very words that describe It, cannot go?
Imagine the Concept of the Concept Imagining
Concept breathing thought mirror, mirror Concept you, Concept me; of this no matter, we all agree
Demise
Retreat from vacant Concept/ Touch Concept so untouchable/ Void, spaceless, nothing ... Imagining
Enter the ritual of electronic dance/ Float in the rhythm of emptiness

Alive and dead
Alice and bread
Down the whole and in the hole
Never such as such source distressed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one to blame
but by blame's own hame; defamed
No one; did as such nothing wrong
So blaming them; naught but bad faith's song
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite all negations
Seem to prefer the citations
Memes and thought
Rendered even more desolate than naught
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If here or there; absurd or even gayer
More the nowhere is the prefer
Just AMA anything; all players mere prayers
And I can't to the woke, defer
