Neighbors are burning dry leaves From history books, As if that allowed the past To start all over, Making up new memories Whose black smoke darkens the sky.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Collective Forgetfulness
Neighbors are burning dry leaves
From history books,
As if that allowed the past
To start all over,
Making up new memories
Whose black smoke darkens the sky.
