Born as One


We come into the world not knowing we are separate from everything and everyone around us.

We grow into our separateness as if putting on new clothes. We discover we are not only separate but also one of a kind.

It can take a lifetime to discover that underneath our clothes, underneath our skin, underneath our uniqueness, underneath our separate being, there is no separateness.

    Birthday Party

    The bat girl in leotards passes
    For a moll among Vampyrs
    Whose bank heists crash
    The Weimar Republic.

    With tomahawks whirling overhead
    A chorus of chicken hawks
    Scalps any German bosses
    Whose genitals are big cigars.

    Speed flames the cops’ chase
    Down alleyways that homeless
    Rummage, where mobs gather --
    Browshirts raising their tea bags.

    Those who worship celluloid
    Change gender and advertise
    Liposuction on the runway
    Beneath silver art deco starhats.

    It’s harder to catch the attention
    Of jaded decadents in the private clubs.
    Women publicize their pap smears;
    Genital disorders become beautiful.

    It’s time the public closed their eyes.
    It’s best not to see what’s going on.
    The government is printing more money.
    There is a solution for everything now.

  2. Hmm. Great minds must think alike. I wrote a post yesterday (I think) that talks about this same general topic. ;-)
