Space Age Bodhisattva

i once read

that if you cut

a ping pong ball in half

tape the halves

over your eyes

and look into light

you'll achieve instant

meditation

so i did that

for a year

24/7

achieving bliss

some bruises

a concussion

a reputation for being

detached

and

when i finally removed them

an appreciation

of the perfectly imperfect

lost and beautiful world

of everyday life
