JONATHAN GREENE ~





Fishing



At times, taking the hook out,

before releasing back into the water


caught eyeing one another

in their different worlds.







A False Continuity



Seeming to me now.

I have been so many selves

unrelated one to another


though covered by the same name

and birth date, incidental facts,

dental records. More than inner self.


No sole soul, not even

look-alikes, now shrinking back

in height, adding weight.


Hard to explain this,

how now, looking back,

these selves do not know

one another.







Buddhist Scholars On Silence



Silence

so precious

they can't stop

talking about it.
