cuz we are not selfie zombies not yet
no selfie sticks sprouting like cordyceps
from our eye balls not yet
our fuzzy mouths frozen down over cracked tv phone screens not yet
giving off spores of viral and pathogenic misinformation
not yet not yet
human being what you seeing
these words written during these days of
racism suffocating, poverty choking, and power tripping
keeping america, the united states of all of us
from breathing deeply and livin’ peaceful
all the while our pandemic raging
setting up a must win race for vaccine
oh yeah and what about the election coming
yet all the while this keeps on happening
the trees breathe in what we breathe out so
all the while we breathe in what the trees breathe out so
thought lungs, breathe thoughts, breathe dreams, believe
like the sunlight through the leaves, like the oxygen of dreams
time is now, meditation is how
when all is flow all is change
there’s no need being froze up over a frozen frame
the heart of love beats stronger than
our oh so human chase of any trend
thought lungs
breathe thoughts in, breathe thoughts out
pick thoughts up and put thoughts down
the practice is
we let one thought in when we let one thought out
without grasping, without attaching
bio breathing bio beings
bio systems breathe in bio rhythms
so bio rhythms breathe out bio systems
so human being if you still breathing
this air we breathing
nitrogen
oxygen
argon
carbon dioxide
neon
helium
methane
krypton
water vapor
but yeah there’s one more to add to this composition
thoughts our thoughts our thoughts
yet all the while this keeps on happening
the trees breathe in what we breathe out so
all the while we breathe in what the trees breathe out so
thought lungs, breathe thoughts, breathe dreams, believe
like the sunlight through the leaves, like the oxygen of dreams
time is now, meditation is how
when all is flow all is change
there’s no need putting ourselves in selfie cages
we are more than those shiny pixels, twitching and speechless
thought lungs
breathe thoughts in, breathe thoughts out
pick thoughts up and put thoughts down
the practice is
we let one thought in when we let one thought out
without grasping, without attaching
bio breathing bio beings
bio systems breathe in bio rhythms
so bio rhythms breathe out bio systems
so human being if you still choking on this air
we
can’t
breathe
in
the knees of hatred, the prisons of racism
the stench of injustice, the clouds of tear gas
the viral spores of misinformation that float in
when we hurt and tripping
like is this really air we breathing
but yeah there’s one more to add to this composition
thoughts our thoughts our thoughts
yet all the while this keeps on happening
the trees breathe in what we breathe out so
all the while we breathe in what the trees breathe out so
thought lungs, breathe thoughts, breathe dreams, believe
like the sunlight through the leaves, like the oxygen of dreams
time is now, meditation is how
when all is flow all is change
to see how we’re all chokin’ on the hate the jealousy the pain
the moment we let go of it’s impossible, won’t work, never change
is when justice progress and peace will breathe in us again
thought lungs
breathe thoughts in, breathe thoughts out
pick thoughts up and put thoughts down
the practice is
we let one thought in when we let one thought out
without grasping, without attaching
