Sitting comfortably

Sitting comfortably

It's about my tea time, actually

 
Sitting comfortably, up to my chest
A pond that has no border:
An ocean without islands or continents.
Eternity fading past the light
Of the candle's flame; uncharted darkness.

Sitting comfortably, up to my chest
Each
Filling of the cup
Sound of the pouring
Sip of the tea
Whiff of the aroma
Inhalation of the incense
A ripple:
Born and fleeting.

Sitting comfortably, up to my chest
Letting the vibrations trail off.
For a moment
Acknowledged
Embraced
Absorbed
Channeled;
Felt
Forgotten
For a moment
Recalled in the next ripple.

Sitting comfortably, up to my chest
I am in momentary stillness.
I touch my lips to the liquid's surface
Sending ripples into eternity.

Put you hate on paper
They won’t know it’s you
All people are the same
Gain major fame
Sign here in blood
And you’ll win the game
It’ll sell well
But a trip to hell
Hell, what’s it matter
Have a bestseller
In your wallet now
Choose wisely
Poverty or riches
Your own bitches
Stop being one
