premature buddhahood

the premature buddhahood

want to come out early

and half awake

walking around in pajamas and lulu lemon

their light is a figment of a filament

the pink pig might say, some are comfortably numb

why do they think they’re the dharma bums?

egos still want personality

fear and power

so that bulb isn’t on yet

the womb is dark

can they be induced?

sleep talkers are

sleep walkers

 

the premature buddhahood

have come out

too early

to be enlightened, too early

to be—

enlighteners

    what does this poem mean? I must know.

      This is my commentary on the fake yoga community and their pseudo-enlightened mumbo jumbo physicality that has very little to do with true yoga and more to do with North American commerce.
