« All-Wheel-Drive Nirvana »

1.
I interviewed
each and every snow flake
about what it’s like
to melt.
“It’s, like, first, you are and, then, it's, like, you aren’t."
So,
now I know what it's like:
it's un-like-like.
2.
No physics of phase transition can explain
how steam turns to ice
or death to life.
There is no
intermediate state between something and nothing
Whichever way you point your arrow of consciousness.
3.
So,
here I sit by a fire pit, my consciousness aflame.
But on dendritic logs of what neural tree?
All cinders.
4.
A lonely husky still nips at the heels of a snowed-under Aleut.
How does it know that the consciousness still dwells within?
I don't know,
do you?
5.
So,
here I go, once again throwing a monkey wrench
into the wheel of your Samsara.
Catch it if you can!
6.
This all-wheel-drive Nirvana is all-terrain.
Custom-made for the Terra Incognita of your consciousness.
Give it a spin.
7.
Share your reality.
Not with me!
But with your own self.
8.
So?
