howling

A Poem by Ben

Set out free from the cramping dichotomies of the past
Distancing myself from non-loose living
Looking with peculiar eyes
Keen, unwavering, integrating
There were 10,000 things to know and I know 11,000
And there are 100,000 more things to know
It could be other than I know, I could have wanted other
intended the better that I should have knew
Its just selfishness that wouldn't feel fine
Fine in where being is,  fine in no one else pinpointing that I exist
With the forms of the day to envelope, solidify me 
Each sensuous point, detail contour color
What else could I want
Ten layers more complicated
Laying on top of me, I die in the doghouse- where I put myself- where I paid high rent
No need to implicate me, its self-evident that I would be to blame for all my problems and issues
As I penetrate deep, like the meaning of life were a prize and solving it were my aim
I penetrate deep into what would be unadultrated bliss, obfuscating precious morsels of duration, trading in lucid treasured existence for moments
The prize of the wisdom I would want, being only to know how to not miss, this
Forced, everyone pushed, no one standing where they choose or for what they choose
No wonder it wouldn't feel right
Those who know more, rather unintelligible to those who adore less
Those who know nothing at all, can feel the spacious rest
