respect

it is often difficult for us to respect

that which we do not like


like is just another word for approval

which is just another petty little way we like to play god


usually i consider this a virgo affliction

within my self and others


others is another clue

there ain't no other

all is one

and zero too

at the same time


time is someplace to get lost

and we have great clocks in our time


to be ruled by a clock

is just another form of slavery

which is just another idea

here in the land of thought


awareness is not a product of thought


your buy the ticket

you take the ride

that was on the front of a hat i found

in a recycle bin at the oklahoma gazette

i was the maintance guy there for a while

i still have the hat and wear it often in cold weather


once you accepted this life

or you would not be here

rejection is knot the way

and the ain't no not

life is an affirmation

whatever that word means or represents
