halfway to nowhere

i don't really want to go to the kiva
but probably will

i don't care to continue at trader joe's
but have committed to a place for the summer

i find the prospect of farming in Argentina daunting
but realize that is actually what i am organizing my life to do

assuming the pole shift
hasn't turned the world upside down by then

-----

i want the romantic dream
a little permaculture cottage on ten acres

a trusted partner
and some like-minded communal journeyers

home and some beauty
but i guess i should go

gear up for the apocalypse
instead

-----

it's been an ongoing koan
for nearly a half century:

how to invest in a personal life
amidst times

calling for some shamanic transformation
the new ager in me says i came for

but which unceasingly destroys
what's left of

joy

-----

i have always done better when selling out
although there have been a couple of good rides

on the seeking side
the worst is always this

doing things halfway
