Breaking in
7/24/2024 Doctor, we have this obsession with a big yellow bird breaking in
Breaking In
Con/Jur/d, 7/24/2024
All this talk of propaganda
advertising, politics has us
blaming ourselves, wonder-
ing, how we could have be-
lieved, these psychopaths
these bullies were on our
side, so we’re re-reading
the tale of Bilbo Sensei, his
dragon, his dwarfs, (we realized
our specific objection to an
over reliance to rhyme, is it
is too dwarfish), The Ring
The Mirkwood Spiders, and
manifold dharma lessons,
as he be-
comes a
B.U.R.G.L.A.R
A burglar?
You object,
certainly thievery
is not The Way?
An adept asks:
“I am breaking out; I ask the teacher to break in.”
How silly! We are not some yellowed Big Bird,
pecking pecking pecking
through an obstinate youthful resistance to learning,
our numbers and letters! So, then, why do we insist
we came into, rather than out of, to paraphrase
Alan Watts :
You are not the result of the Big Bang unfolding
you are not a leaf on a tree begun long, long ago
you are the Big Bang -- it's still happening, and
you are it -- Now you can deny the Big Bang,
you can deny the Big Bird,
you can’t however
deny this truth
You are It,
not breaking into it,
how can we steal, this
now, nothing added
nothing subtracted
exactly how it is.
“You're the one you're looking for, let me in, let me in
Who's there, who's there, who's there” — Alice Cooper, Earwigs to Eternity
