NOTHINGNESS GIVES RISE TO ME, from PREPARATIONS


FROM PREPARATIONS:-
with Michael McClure's 'wet plank'


NOTHINGNESS GIVES RISE TO ME


MONKEY MIND BUILDS CATHEDRALS
NEWS NEVER CHANGES
A PATRIARCH SAYS THERE IS NO
MOMENT OF EMOTIONAL PASSION


THERE ARE THREE THINGS
I
MOVIES OUT THERE
THE PARADE GOES ON
EXPERIENCE IS WEIGHTLESS
I KNOW EMPTINESS
EMPTINESS IS A FORM
THE SMELL OF MORNING INCENSE


REXROTH BELIEVES EVERYTHING
THE SCARLET-HEADED WOODPECKER
WITH SOFT FLEXIBLE MIND
THE WHTIE HANDS WITH LONG FINGERS


THE PINK OF DAWN IS GONE
SILENCE IS A ROAR
A DOE CROSSING THE STREET
A LITTLE NAKED OF EGO


NOR DOES KNOWLEDGE CHANGE
DESPITE FASCINATION
DARK PATHS ARE THE WAY
NOT TO THINK OF BUDDHA


BEAUTEOUS ONE, GIVE ME
THE SHAPE OF MY THOUGHTS
A SMALL INSECT CRIPPLEDLY HOBBLES
THE CLEAR CENTER IS PRESENT


CALM MAKES A FRAME
EACH RAINDROP IS AN INSTANT
STUDY OF SELF PEELS OFFENSIVELY


I MAKE MY CENTER IN DELUSION
