snakes have
the right idea
by shedding
skin
feels weird
thinking about
it — 10 years+
in a movement
how that
shapes your
experience
you begin to
wonder
just what is
happening out there
beyond that experience
you know?
how have
I been shaped?
how have
I expanded beyond
all of it?
what were the
positive benefits?
quickly I can
fire off that it
put that learning
passion in me
to read and study
mull over ideas
churn and
become a
philosopher
somehow KC
got me
interested in
Buddhism
I don’t know
exactly how
that works but
there are similarities
many of them
I suppose I will
write my next few
books on this
flipping around
the concepts
of what it means
to me to be
an individual
not just a cog
in machine
in a group
in a desperate group
that sends you out
to get donations
that even degrading methods
are sanctioned
and you go readily
yes, there is that
the initial step
the excitement of
rebelling against parents
school, society
to join a
freakin’ spiritual utopia
and no one
able to tell you
any different
the sights were
locked
get up one morning
and go
go to Philadelphia
someone talked you into it
someone talked you
into talking yourself
into it
yes, this is exciting
