JANUARY 19



Today I read
in one of the many
high-falootin psych books
around my penumbra
of lazy living
about meditation
how it’s not something
one can just DO
it’s a practice
one must rigorously
endeavor to perfect
without ever there being
an absolute arrival.
None of it
made much sense
seemed impenetrable
until put in terms of
the surface of the ocean
it’s crests and troughs
whitecaps and currents
being our normal “woke” state
but the unfamiliar
depths and leagues
which are invisible
form the surface
is where we attempt
an ascension
or maybe more accurately
a descent
