Kongsaeng Chris Everson Biography

While I sit here,
my mother
is in a nearby room
asleep
...

I practiced Zen this morning.
I did it the way my master taught me.
When done, I was angry and tired.

This place is dead and alive
at the same time.
It is empty nothing
and full of form
...

My dream people
are my awake thoughts
while I am asleep
and these electro-chemical energies
...

The fingers are hopping
from key to key
as I look at the letters
and light
...
