Dharma thoughts in digital surroundings (Oct 13, 1998).
What can I say? I was tired...
Gut Rub
Scrawny computer geek legs,
big fat lazy-man's gut.
Rubbing that huge happy buddha belly
for good luck.
Tired eyes see a half-focused world
with half-caring disdain,
exhausted detachment.
No void, no samsara, no nirvana but a
long, dark drive home way too late.
He sat under a lotus tree and gained enlightenment.
I ponder a pinch of lint and gain a headache.
Will there ever be a digital bodhisatva?
Perhaps an archtype of patience?
I'm just a little fish in the great pond of life.
...and there's a SCSI error in front of me that looks
suspiciously like a fish hook.
A haiku:
The SCSI error
waves in my calm inner sea
no bliss this morning!
