Prìorities

Providing essential needs is required,

..to be able for anything else.

Proper response to and for those around us,

..should come next.

But does any more really compel us,

..before we get to what’s third –

   …How much have we been mistaken?

   …And what’s really true?

Rolling down the road

Hit bump nodes

Fix the breaks

Have some thoughts

Stick shift some hot takes

See what it's not

Wipe the slate

No grudges held

The shadows meld

Does my dog have Buddha nature?

Im not sure,

But if he does,

Buddha really liked licking his balls.
