New poem: "A Little Orientation"

 

A Little Orientation

 

Looking back, way back,

I can see how far I’ve come:

a teaching I studied five decades

ago, secretly known as the way

of the sly man, is so far out of sync

today that one wonders why it’s

still around; and another teaching

that I studied for over three decades,

secretly known as the way of the

eternal, so full of promise, is now

a pale ghost of what it never was;

and today I am where I want

to be, free to be me.
