the awkened life

what a fancy idea,
the awakened life?

and yet:
hey
what is the alternative?
the
asleep life?
the
normal life?
the
staying out of trouble
life?

then again,
ordinary
life is
a brilliant gift,
and we double
triple
quadruple
it
by
"being there"
as
we go
as "it" goes
as time
which exists.
or doesn't exist
flows
through
the day
as the sun
rise
and sets

all is
good

when lived
in the almost awakened
state
and
or
the awakened
one

good.
