Hazel
Hazel liked to spend a little time each day googling things she had no interest in. She would research products she didn't want to buy and look up illnesses she did not have. Sometimes she would email questions to politicians and rock stars. She usually did not support the political party or appreciate the music of the rock star, and she had no interest in reading their replies. She often posted various links and YouTube clips she found dull on social media. Some days she'd even check into places she'd never been.
One day a friend tagged her and asked her to post her top ten favourite albums on Facebook. She copied Mojo magazine’s "Ten Most Important Albums in Rock History" and posted them. Of course, she still used the internet for all the usual things you and I do; for business, banking, the things she was interested in. But amongst her interests she scattered misleading searches, hoping to create a false online profile. She thought if she used the internet in this way it would stop companies and government agencies from searching her data history to get accurate information on who she really was and what she really liked.
But soon word got out of Hazel's eccentricities. Her online habits were given a medical title and labelled an illness. Medical professionals told her to cease her false online activity. They designed a medication to stop her hijinks and injected her with a lifetime dose.
The medication made Hazel numb, obese and a total bore.
And then the medical professionals told her to lose weight or she'd get diabetes ... or worse.
Hazel googled "diabetes".
Watch the flags rise to start up the fight
See them multiply to increase the divide
Blame's going round and soon it stops at you
And this coma we're drifting in and out of proves nothing
The Mess You Became
You try to push erase everyday on moments that don’t align to what you expect, want to reject, claim as defects, here’s news to your perfect visions, untainted mirrors, blush up your face, invest in or save no one but those already saved, record ideals of a passed day.
Take just one inch; shove for two ways, one hundred and eighty degrees. Between is where your on your knees, gather yourself, ignore all that happens today, live yesterday, live tomorrow, delete today. So happy now but now don’t exist, never was it, has been replaced.
Watch erase change. Watch erase change. Watch erase change. The mess you became.
Watch erase change. Watch erase change to. Watch erase change. The mess you became.
The Gateless Gate - Keichu's Wheel
Getsuan said to his students: "Keichu, the first wheel-maker of China, made two wheels of fifty spokes each. Now, suppose you removed the nave uniting the spokes. What would become of the wheel? And had Keichu done this, could he be called the master wheel-maker?"
Mumon's comment: If anyone can answer this question instantly, his eyes will be like a comet and his mind like a flash of lightning.
When the hubless wheel turns,
Master or no master can stop it.
It turns above heaven and below earth,
South, north, east, and west.
