Zen VIII - XVI

Zen VIII

Death as an icon
is an Eye-con - yes - a lie;
yet it is Death.

Zen IX

Bend the mind around:
eternal questions are holes
filled with gravity . . .

Zen X

Some questions are grave;
grave is hunger never filled -
a lust eternal . . .

Zen XI

Become a mirror,
a reflection without form;
it will suck them in.

Zen XII

Walk without ego,
become a force of nature -
centered gravity.

Zen XIII

The arc toward Justice
is long yet sure, unless
I Am means nothing.

Zen XIV

Reflective Questions?
And yet: There Is Only One.
What will you give?

Zen XV

When all conspires
smile and applaud, for it will -
be in your favor.

Zen XVI

There are those who see
chaos has been harnessed
and random is no more -

. . . . . . . it is the Art of War.

All I can say is...ya.

chaos is harnessed
maximum entropy reached
life grinds to a halt

Eschew entropy:
we must open the system;
end exploitation.

entropy be damned
shun homogeneity
no heat death for us

bodies clamboring
want, give me, need now, hurry!
souls await nothing

I still don't have a response. There is something . . .

The sea darkens;
The voices of the wild ducks
Are faintly white.

i am and you are
balanced on the golden scale
justice, not law, reigns

multiverses split
along synapses in time...
theorize big bangs
