NO THOUGHT WENT INTO THE MAKING OF THIS POEM

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

I have been able to successfully
live in the moment for up to

30 seconds at a time
you just push every thought

out of your mind
it becomes blank like

the page I'm writing this on
before I fill it up

you become keenly aware of
sounds at that point

the sounds you normally block out
with your monkey mind

going a mile a second
push it past the half-minute 

mark and congrats...
you are a zen master!

thoughts are insidious
even when you don't think

you are thinking
you are thinking about

not thinking 
and all manner of things 

like a poem you are thinking of writing
about not thinking

and I tried so not to think while writing this 
and I do think it shows
