The place where we belong
we assume to know
the people we know
who assume to know us
but really who are we without
this superficail identity
attributed to us or to others?
it's been a long weekend
in recovery from that long
bike ride but this is how
it's always been - No, don't
get me wrong i have
abundant energy - that
is or was not the problem
no it goes much deeper than
that, according to age old
injuries this compromise
i've had to endure all my
life this body obstructed
bicycling a cure and a curse
takes a while to kick start
this body again and reclaim
innate clarity
but it was a kick ass
bike ride they call this
town Hillsborough for
a reason and i am a
flat lander there are no
hills along the coast
outside of the occassional
bridge or interstate over pass
here the hills go on forever
and without a reliable leg
to stand on this is what
has made my life most
difficult finally Duke
has crafted a leg
that won't fall off
so easy - still in the
testing stages while
UNC still maintains
they are intitle to
the money from
insurance for the
product they could
not deliver... five strikes
you're out - that is
the number of
failed attempts
they were allowed...
duty calls
gotta run

and i know when
i give in and
hand over
my last $20
because she
is pleading at
my door pregnant
in need of five or
ten i won't ever
see that change
again 10 will
get you 20
in this
neighborhood
tell all your friends
and i realize
that for that
same $20
i could buy
10 moives
in VHS
at vis-art video
that is equivalent
to two hours of my life
in hard labor - no doubt
rolled up in a super
charged crack
filled blunt
and burned
up at one setting
the buck stops here
pushing 20 miles
today on my bicycle
in an effort to clear
my mind for my
interview on thrusday
with this publisher
hoping to find
the back entrance
to the rock quarry
and shave an additional
5 miles off my time
and much less walking
off the beaten path
a much welcomed swim
the forecast is for rain

in transists of danger
always strive to
remember all
surface appearance
is only half the picture
what remains hidden
on the other side
of the coin?
where each state
contains it's opposite
reverse reflection
of happiness
or sadness
Liberation or Adance
Damage of Illumination
or Transience which
is better? Tranquility
or Disparity
Difficulty or Darkness
we either foster
the celestial or
repel the mundane
whether active or stilling
each has its own time
Haulting Obstruction
we find balance
with harmony
in action...
the Tao of perfect serenity
living according to
one's own true nature
unify the elements of being
into a single intergal energy

"Without effort to foster the celestial and control
the mundane, it is hard to gain access to this
primal energy, and easy to lose it, missing it even
when it is right there."
The Taoist I Ching
if you don't slip up
promoting the primal
minimizing the secondary
eventually celestial energy
will unfold and expand
