More Poetry
Carolyn Martin
Only disconnect.
Slow down aggressively.
Do nothing and rest afterwards.
Sit, stare, and move the wall.
You have the right to remain silent.
Nothing-happening is not a threat.
Revel in redundancy.
Put all your goals in a box and burn that box.
Love to do what’s now.
Quiet your mind, hear your soul.
Embrace the lean elegance of choice.
Trick yourself into happiness.
Cultivate primordial confidence.
Revel in the groundless paradox of ambiguity.
Ponder: Where does “it” take “time”?
Be proud of your humility.
Celebrate a chasm’s closing.
Peel off the remnants of demands.
Remind yourself: Nothing is as good or as bad as you anticipate.
Believe Truth will find you and make you beautiful.
Stand outside yourself and revel in the ecstasy.
