MIRROR DOESN'T KNOW. OCEAN KNOWS Comments

Temple
bells
ringing. Buddha smiles. Jesus
bleeds. Buddha

talks
about
suffering. Jesus
about

salvation. Buddha
talks about the road. Jesus
about
the goal.

*

Buddha
says: It hurts
all
the

time. Jesus
says: At the end
salvation
will come. Buddha says: At best

the
deleatur
of
everything.

Water
won't
change
its mind. Water doesn't have

to
be
asked
twice. Water

follows
the thermometer. Ice. Liquid. Steam.
What
do I care?

*

Cloud.
Sea.
Glacier. What did I
care? Water

rising. Water
sinking. Water will polish
every
thing

round. What's jagged
becomes
round. What's jagged becomes round. Then
the light went out.

He was shooting
in order
to kill. He fastened
his bomb belt

in order to
kill. His thought
is on
the trigger, on the

release. That is no
thought.
That is
compulsion.

We murder the
mountain
people
by compulsion. The mountain people

murder

by
compulsion. We

because we have ideas. Ideas
are made
of air.
The mountain people belong.

against

blows
the other
into pieces? Or blows

itself into pieces? Then you must
retreat into caves
and wait. Until the mountain can be shaped
into a pyramid.

The lowest

highest, in the mirror's
reflection. But when the mirror

is
broken? The mirror
can't
be

broken, can't be broken, can't
be
broken. If it is
an ocean.

*

The mirror
can't
be shattered
by a

long-range scope rifle. The mirror
can
only
rise. Or

sink. If the mirror sinks, we will
all
rise, upside
down.

*

If the mirror
rises, we will
all
drown, for real. Not each

and every
one. Only the poor. When the
poor
vanish, others will

appear. In the end
it'll be
our
turn.

*

When the
Empire State Building
beams
like a lighthouse in the ocean. Then

we'll
know
what
the word

TERROR means.
Then
there'll be
no need for martyr pilots.

*

We keep quiet
about
what
we

know. The wise

dumb

and
wise. Mirror
doesn't know. Ocean knows.
