What has yet to be written –
from absurd to sublime
has it all been said?

Take a moment.

Also think of where it’s all
been scribed – on hearts, minds,
stone, stars, sand,
winds, walls,

in the heavens
and in the mud,

etched-in blood and ink and tears and sweat,
invisible, indelible, and permanent.

And by whom?
Wholly holy worthy ones,
the prophets, poets, and bards.

What I mean to say is
just suppose we juxtapose
polka dots:Dalai Lama.

Start a bow-tie trend,
Tibetan U-Bet,
feature Tenzin Gyatso,
sporting FOURTEEN carat diamonds.

Tattoo Hello Dalai on the ass of Time,
go tramp-stamp the seat of the cosmos.

Anyone out there own this concept –
am I safe to assume it’s mine?
