new poem -- PRESENTDAY (19Jan. 2008)

this moment has no walls
for the mind to project

non-existent past&present events
upon its surface

only this utter emptiness
that is near-infinite
is all that remains tangible here

when the ego takes
an indefinite leave-of-absence

so you can, at last,
become reacquainted
with your true self

from whom you’ve been
estranged all these years
