Teachable

Pessoa taught me the
fine points of a thoughtless
life.  Stressed the blessing
of an awareness not my
own and not God’s,
but perhaps your’s.  I
intend to travel without
moving, to love without
loving and to help without
helping.  A meditation so
fine tuned that my body
becomes merely a vessel,
like a ship or a plane.
I wonder why it’s so
hard to divorce self
from self, especially
if one thinks about the
despicable self.  I find
that part very simple,
enormously easy. But
I think, it’s that self
that hinders a divorce
from self, because then
I want to improve it,
pay more attention to it.
It’s time to make a mad
dash for the forest and not
look backwards, other than
that, I don’t know what the
hell to do.
