I see and do not see
Your actions
Name them, sure, place neatly in taxonomies but
Incapable of parsing what they mean
I know and do not know
How to respond
Theory springs quite readily to mind…
Half a beat too late
I think and do not think
Not thinking is the best—
Actions flow unburdened by the mind
More commonly, my bossy thoughts intrude
I am swept up in flow then pulled up short
Caught upon my ego, snagged by doubts
Thoughts of self, second-guessing
Searching for a way to dive back
I flip between these alternative states
Cycling through unstable combinations
Seeking balance, settled orbit
Vision, wisdom, spontaneity
Immersion in the now
But that is an illusion, yes?
Stability’s stagnation by another name
These oscillations generate the power driving me through life
And if they cease, then what? Disintegration, I suspect
Not that I’m likely to find out…
