POTPOURRI AND OTHER RANK ESOTERICA

Koan as Haiku

Koan as Haiku.
Maybe Haiku as Koan?
Maybe all the same?

Sexuality,
Evolution improves us.
Health is beautiful.

Arrogance, poor thing.
My lips drip condescension.
Frost forms on her heart.

Man on the mountain,
Can see into the Dream Time,
The distant visions.

If mem'ry must fade,
Don't worry about the past.
Everything is new.

The ponderous weight,
Of responsibility,
Takes me to the brink.

Patriotism.
Portrait of morality.
Good, Bad and Ugly.

Picture the mores.
Study the manners of Man.
Memes contain meaning.

Faith disappoints me.
How can that possibly be?
Faith is self contained.

Thought is in the air.
Fill your lungs with its pure scent,
But avoid the stench.

The meaning of Zen.
The master must stand aloof.
You decide for You.

An even dozen.
Twelve, the magical number.
It makes me wonder.
