cannot carry this

you have your Mecca and your Churches
we have hermit hobbit coffee shop borrowed pilgrimage centers
you have police,army,religion,rules,authorities,laws,traditions
we have art ,dance,music ,poetry(exceptions
you have wars for real estate
we have slum reclamation for studio space
you have Realism,Reality,Gravitas
we are light as air comedians
you have the weight of history on your side
it has always been conflicted
we cannot carry this.it
it is far too heavy.we kiss and move on
love is and always was our mission and our song
not Hollywood,New York,nor Los Angeles
so when the weight of all this violence is imported
we recognize it is not ours(it never was
we left her by the river.(you are still carrying her
levity wins over gravity.Laugh in airports!
the weight of the world is as a feather on a bird
defying gravity is every artists job.


more ways out
when you come to this moment
you may stop for refreshment
listen .wait.watch for fresh influences
"where there is a way,there is always a way out"
you hear gunshots,hear of random violence
someone imports it to a coffee shop/among poetry of life
Group consciousness expels death from paradise
You live as long as you are of peace
Every line of every artsong and lifepoem sustains this



the question remains-
how can innocence (peace)defend against violence?
it will not be with violence.Art of peace is breath(flow,control,continuance
Will(aligned,focused,intent
Perception(when to move away/when to return
Every moment requires different response
What happens next is in your next poem.
Until Zen,carry this one.
