attaining nirvana

no matter where the mind
levels & a balance of moments
occurs there is eventual
dread -- disarray
is the real world
of people -- disarray
& luck. some men
ape along,
stay within the leaves,
& some men hop out
jack off
cackling in front
of the path you're on,
lost, confused, are you ...



... dead? are you sure
this is biological life?
a mind & a body
rubbed within a woman
slips out
this thin, fat man,
economically retarded.
