my ernest prayer.

dear god keep everyone safe from problems of the heart
let lovers not be apart
save my friends from pollution
for gastritis, asthma and allergies, give your solution
dengue fever's not too cool either
dear god keep all free of bubonic or pneumonic plague, leprosy,
alzheimer's or hiv please
pigs hearts, mad cows, fleas or lyme disease
but, for me dear god, well, dental makes me mental
save me from the peridontist
keep me from the orthodontist
if need be i'll not eat, i'll stay in bed, i don't care
just keep me from that dental chair
for lymph, lung or liver cancer
hair loss, back pain or cholestrol, give them all your answer
don't let the world turn our children into cynics
dear god i ask only that you keep me from those dental clinics
if this is too much to ask, of course, or if it's not fair
let me see your perfection everywhere.

who let the hound out(?)

im sitting in my meditation room, on a sofa put here for old and decrepit people. its my favorite place to sit. my dog is dreaming beside me. shes chasing something, like a rabbit or a deer. her feet are twitching wildly. whimpering noises are filling the room. she just actually woke herself up.
thats not so different from us, really, is it(?)
so ive started to write a new book, which im thinking to call: not hung like my father. i have already begun. i would offer it to the publishers of my book: the bridge between, only they no longer return my emails. they have studiously avoided me for the past couple of years. that may not be a good sign. luckily, for me, i dont write with an eye on acquiring the booker prize. im just happy to help the world with my deep insights, like how our waking state is essentially the same and just as real and as important as my mutts dream chase.
later. luvyas...
