HOUSTON ROCKETS

June 9th, 2024
Hail to the Lord of the Universe!

Empty Avenue,
Death on the the installment plan,
Righteous lady,
insolent man, I,
patience expired.
 
Send me as quick as I came,
take from me like you took
from the last Landlord
leave me with a begging bowl
ugly robe, ugly grimace
the ten-thousandth time.
 
I slept on a bench.
The world is my bench.
The world is but the one
and only
bench.
 
The Gateless Gate
has swallowed me.
The ceaseless boundary has
made my thought incalculable.
With no desire
there is nothing to welcome,
       and always an abundance
       of quality.
