drip drop

~dragfyre

as the rain drip drops

in a comforting drip drop

sort of way i glance to the

outside and see the sheet

of wet descending on the street,

it's the rainy season of our lives

they say on the news

a flood of biblical proportions

of ethical contortions

let's take a rain day and

take in the blues

as it arrives

through the podcast on my

drip drop lap top

i love the rain. we get it quite a lot in my country, but it's always the dull drizzly sort. hardly ever the lashing, violent sort.

I especially love that part.

That said, that I ever believed anything in "the news" now astounds me. It was simply "a given" for so many decades. From one point of view, getting older seems an accelerated succession of loss of "givens", to the point were it seems obvious the oft-repeated phrase "is Mind-Only" in The Lankavatara Sutra really nails the whole thing of seeming being imprisoned in an individuality separate from all else and purely a conceptuality/representation/modeling issue.

Anyway....
