IDENTITY OF NATURE 2017

Placed before our senses

are screens blurring

the actual qualities

of the true identity

Get yours

free like the wind

Sense beyond veils

of not what you think

but the unseen qualities

of not knowing a single thing

except of your own single mindedness

in relation to that of

the collected knowledge

of the world’s people

What am I

is put to Darkness

You are empty void

Whole in Space

an inch across

the surface of the sun

Who Asks

is the mendicant nature

unknown unseen

searching for itself

blind and in circles

Veils are unreal

because you are your own hunter

but you cannot steal what

you already possess

nor can you sell or give it away

Microcosmic being existing

in the macroscopic void universe

spinning millions of miles in space void

Whole in the galaxy, jettisoned from nowhere

Sure of being unsure

Your zodiac is cosmic GPS

What Am I is already established

on the grainy planetary surface

cereal’d and sandwiched in formation

Who asks is lost discarded unlearned in the learning

How do you nurture your nature

How do you do

How would you do if you would you could you oh you

Missing home and scared of the door

Delusional and believing the worst because

surely it is as it appears to be, not as it would be beyond

because nonsense suspended is a phantom vision

unreal is your worst nightmare-

a continual nonsensical tunnel of Visions; Ego Soothing Dreams

Your body is no body

a bubble of hair and water

any body is like that

Every body is like any body

Names ideas clothes culture

are now shared and no longer

point to an individual, the micro,

but shows all in one vision, the macro

Self no longer exists, Humanity in its

cosmic xenophobic violence

has destroyed the final barrier

Self extinguished Self destructed Self mutilated

Soon they’ll all just say “I’m just here, a rock, the sea”,

but even they will be unjustified in their search

I am passing through observations

witnessing all that could potentially be

sitting in possibility and probability

Watching the universe move

seeing things as they are

focused on the essence of being

as things actually tend to be

There are no longer nightmares

nor a self to hack at senselessly

I am movement- The wind sharp enough to hear

Distinguished from the many through the

invisible clarity of this presentation

which is solidified in your witness to the act

This is kinetic energy showing by example

See that See me This is not surreal

It is unbelievable and unreal

In its simplicity it appears to be fantastic

By being asw one actually is expressing nature

Nature is the true intent of a person,

it is the behavioral patterns and habits of things Living and Not

By understanding my Self, the being saved from torture

Humanity’s cultural scar on the mind heart- the Human Being

I know what I don’t

Sure of what I know and think

I can show the source of this thought

That is what validates me

Not race sex national origin age weight or height

I wear the biochemical equation on my sleeve
