~33 for Bashō~

33 years and counting
life continues to be a whirlwind with no landing site
but i find myself less worried about that
and more engaged with the spinning whirl
of the here and now
and learning how to enjoy tasting the moment
for the moment, rather than as a mere appetizer
for the eternal moment of future becoming

being embodied in one's body
and comfortable in one's skin
seemingly mundane things
yet amazingly not at all

i'm a nerd underneath, she said
or was it inside, i can't remember
either way we embraced our inner glow
our radiating circuits, as she put it
even without having to speak in code
C++ = PhP / MySql
{if/then} becomes probability
instead of functionality

utility yields to aesthetics
aesthetics melts before beauty
beauty mirrors nature
in watery reflecting pools
and slowly unfolding maidenhair ferns
entangled with cinnamon wooly bears
and the smell of cedar and pine needles

what is this feeling of being
this eternal return to a desire to understand
something hidden yet completely revealed
visible yet invisible, transparently opaque
glimmering like a stained-glass mirage
before the all seeing minds-eye

familiarity and cognitive dissonance
a house of nacre mirrors and cobalt prisms
perfectly faceted and stitched together
into polygonal wings of a flying serpent
that speaks only in haiku

古池や 蛙飛込む 水の音
