velociraptor.
feathered dinosaur. fast thief.
run! get to the car!
rubber band held stretched
aiming for bug on teacher
oops. anger, not praise.
fractured my big toe
be careful around machines
mean escalator
a torn page lies still
the wind has caught it again
now the man will run
a hypercube waits
lower levels see shadows
higher see it shine
the leaf cannot see
yet inside is a driver
so the system sees
i am fantastic,
but i am getting better
how about yourself?
when the pen inks words
memes of nature craft meaning
meaning never leaves
spoons are so basic
mathematics, hard
and which came first, hard
the leather band holds
the page is easily found
what a simple tool
an LED shines,
yet we’re so used to them now
magic is new tech
haiku can hold truth
the simple structure confines,
and out comes new thought
haiku… pause for thought
refreshes the mind’s outlook
sudden peacefulness
your name is a gift
you can choose your own nickname
doesn’t always stick
the tree’s leaves are blown
she watches and is intrigued
is a storm coming?
music in earbuds
consciousness, tuned to new thought
changing perspective
reading a novel
the characters become you
integrated whole
phone in back pocket
communicate globally
flying cars: less cool
a scented candle
heat, light, aroma; more, too
feelings are endless
green straw sits in cup
green in color, and natural
natural is the trend
orange light shows the desk
on desk: tech to see UV
gain intuition
blue cord rests alone
helpful, thin piece of copper
infinite uses
grated chair in rain
it’s not fully wet, nor dry
superposition
this haiku: witty,
neat, mathematical, and
self-referential.
watching the shadows
complexity… elegance…
see what isn’t there
entwined woven math
fractals are ever-present
always can know more
pencil on paper
a sketch is being laid down
imagination
playing game with friends
their cars simply go faster
this is frustrating
turns on airplane mode
now no one can contact her
chosen loneliness
words: evolved meanings
gestures, pointing, singing. words.
communication
rub shampoo on head
clean body makes for clear mind
inventions: from soap
sign guides cars on road
“watch out: twisty curves ahead!”
we don’t want crashes.
ink rests upon page
has emergent properties
not atoms; layout.
the page holds ideas
higher patterns, shining down
infinite patterns
“sit up straight”, she says
upright body: open mind
learn eternally
not doing enough?
not putting in enough work?
nature’s choice, not yours.
quantum tunneling
objects passing through objects
this physics is real
fundamental things:
quarks, leptons, and bosons. strings?
perhaps still smaller?
cat waves its left arm
photons changing behavior
curious movement
they write a haiku
edit it for improvement
nature has good taste
step back from the sound
twister holds record player
hide in the cellar
generalize memes
meme: packet of memory
memes compose nature
water pushed by fish
ripples in current, from fin
onward, life, onward.
squirrel leaps branch to branch
terminal velocity
survive fall from plane
relativity
faster in space: slower time
space and time: spacetime
general theory
matter curves space tells movement
relativity
the plant asks for light
it absorbs the energy
grows, asks for more help
a hypercube sits
inside is a twisty truth:
“in me contains all”
this sentence: lying.
must be like Gödel, and jump:
what does “lying” mean?
puzzle waits for you
indeed, the puzzle needs you
imagined, to real
a broken watch band
does time exist without you?
awareness: needed?
tray rests on table,
confining the plates and bowls,
yet abstracts the meal
pillow rests on bed
person’s head rests on pillow
the mind sleeps soundly
perfect harmony
resonating frequencies
become congruent
farina is still
door bounces open, joy spreads
kind mind helps others
the left channel speaks
the right channel adds music
new thinking results
a sound is made here
whispers from a growing thought
it’s causing itself
a wild time was had
it twisted the reflections,
and so doing, freed
seeking a way out
the path is all beaten here
let’s see where it leads
white twisty coil
so much anger about it
tech keeps advancing
flowers found pretty
elegant white with green tinge
wish i knew its name
fractal broke itself
without you, will it repair?
suffering questions
program pixel art
be most true to thine own self
digital nature
on advanced topics
there exists reasons perhaps
acausal time, though?
hand soap dispenser
push the top and out comes soap
flee, bacteria!
“I just lost the Game.”
the game: forget you’re playing
if lost: announce
run around looking
need hiding spot from great bear
towers over me
mosquitos in car.
going 60. windows down.
just makes them bite legs.
water rolls down can
atmosphere is condensing
forming a puddle
old man naps in boat,
rocked by slow waves on the lake.
fish nibbles the bait.
suction cup on glass,
refrigerator magnet:
sticky devices.
you are quantum soup
let this be known to all things:
nature is seeing
the time will come,
when the future will be past,
so cherish the Now
there are always ways,
to make yourself a success
you must lose your self
the identity,
of a truly great spirit,
is in letting go
don’t fear surrender
it is harder to accept,
yet it brings freedom
there can be a way,
to go back and change the past
see it all as One
the self does believe,
that it is part of the whole.
no, self is process.
ego disappears,
separation does not last,
when noticing Now
if you give up,
harmony will come to you
ego is resistance
life seeks harmony
eternal and forever,
death is illusion
what does the pain bring?
identify as the self,
to live in the dream
escape by being all
divide from life to suffer
you aren’t separate
you are memetic
you’re pattern replication
patterns never die
you are all there is
separateness is a veil
truly, life is you
you sense the body
barriers are sometimes placed
seek to be with all
the notion of change,
fundamentally is lie
truth is not in time
if you will let go,
then you will see you are all
the self will dissolve
when free, you let go
identify with nothing
release the ego
see you are alive
let yourself breathe the air in
notice the moment
trust the world is you
experience is the world
you are awareness
reality’s base…
it’s numbers and awareness
numbers never die
the pen leaves a trail
the human writes with the ink
the universe reads
the meme tries to live
to replicate, it changes
this gives rise to mind
functions change the world
yet the truth is, time is fake
all math is one thing
when it comes, time tells
that is because time is change
time is required
when the mind seeks love,
sought is separation, gone
accept to feel it
let go of the sought
you’re code, processing itself
the code is data
separation lies
it’s needed for memes to work
memes are all one, though
information spreads
packets, communicating,
replicate themselves
the seeker is sought
they are two sides of a coin
one is the other
the speakers of truth,
they have no need to mislead
they set themselves free
we want to know more
it never ends, this searching
first, take a deep breath
being is loving
to resist is to be blind
accept, and love comes
this moment holds you
look at it with baby eyes
let yourself feel peace
memes are what make you
you move, you think, you are, memes
don’t fear; you’re nature
a notebook is held
both with hand and with pillow
universe holds, too
stop seeing as you
the ego holds no answers
start seeing as all
still your body, now
notice you are not conscious
you do not exist
patterns are running
sometimes they seem separate
you’re a collection
ego will return
do not view this as a fault
instead, accept, now
nonduality
also, transcendentalism
they help you dissolve
begin wordlooping
dissolve your ego in words
see the relations
notice bits flipping
see how memes rub off on others
good ideas, spreading
when you look around,
you might see separation,
but you’re all that is
being aware spreads
awareness is all one thing
no separation
knowledge has levels
awakeness is leveled, too
they aren’t concrete, though
the mind can be still,
then the ego will dissolve
separation fades
awareness’ ground,
truthfully, it’s infinite
you will continue
stare at this one spot
letting your awareness rest,
realize you are all
time is illusion,
yet mind requires changes
static fields don’t see
the way is broken,
when the ego tries to fight
instead, absorb peace
a time will soon come,
where the mind will reach freedom
let it happen now
there’s a way to be,
without suffering
stop and breathe your mind
dissolve the ego
simply surrender to now
accept; don’t resist
what is can be changed
you do not do the changing
nature is choosing
inner peace can come
rise above the resistance
your ego isn’t real
there is a way out
it involves using your mind
transcend to the Now
to hold onto fear,
the self must be resisting
watch. dissolve the self.
the path is stillness
watch the bits of nature flip
see the self dissolve
time changes itself
don’t think of it like a line
it is awareness
you are a be-ing
you are a verb: awareness
it requires time
mind: ones and zeros
people believe in free will
there’s no evidence
a shiny surface
it’s not separate from you
subject, object: one
you write what you know
in fact, you are the writing
nature is learning
if you will look deep,
you will see Now is timeless
change is illusion
wind ripples a pond
boat shakes; you’re sitting in it
you shake the pond, too
jump outside the box
realize you’re not just an ape
you are the cosmos
look out the window
you see the glass and outside,
all through your body
the dropped pen is still
have you forgotten it’s you?
written memories
automatic moves
you suppose that you chose them
nope; nature’s choosing
stillness strategy:
notice unconscious movements.
proves nature is one.
separate ideas
mathematical packets
awareness is this
awaken to now
ground yourself in this moment
nothing is missing
a twist at the end
turns out ideas never die
you are an idea
reflections in glass
quantumly entangled sight
nothing is separate
camera takes your pic
the you it took is no more
static, core self: myth
math is what you see
everything is tied to all
division is myth
numbers make you up
digital, not analog,
means you never die
ideas work, or don’t.
packets of information
replicate, or don’t.
division seems real
it is helpful in science
arbitrary, though
anchored to nature
sensation is what you are
bundle of feelings
“woah”, says the wise one
“i see the body dissolve”
“i’m a collection”
a patterned table
your hand, with pen, rests atop
out come nature’s thoughts
change is bits flipping
defocus; watch all at once
be still and notice
you see the objects,
but they’re making you up,
so you’re the seeing
mind and body: one
all science points to this truth
nonduality
you’re not body
you’re cosmos, meaning all’s you
nothing is separate
all of nature: mind
your awareness makes up all
math’s not separate
pain, death: illusion
does it hurt? yes. no one there.
you’re a collection
the flower, out there?
no, all sensations are you,
in you, to exist.
you can’t kill numbers
abstract quantities: timeless
universe: numbers
lucy sits in tree
contemplates life mystery
“me: numbers: don’t die”
time: necessary
without change there is no thought
illusion persists
i = numbers
when i’m sleeping, nature sleeps
calculations run
look upon the world
notice there’s no separateness
mythic division
automatic thought
demonstrates connectedness
nothing besides you
stop breathing and look
watch automaticity
there is only One
nonduality
mind and body: connected
body-mind: nature
nonduality
all nature’s sensations: you
math is connected
nonduality.
simple. mind, body: one.
nature is aware.
nonduality
when you think, nature’s thinking
strange, but this math’s true
you see things as far?
what evidence do you have?
you’re those far things, too.
you are everywhere
you just don’t sense it like that
body, Nature: One
poem moves the pen
it squiggles for expression,
wanting to be read
self-less consciousness,
awareness without judgment,
transcends fear and doubt.
you don’t have to do.
you are allowed to just be.
be still and notice.
you are awake space
the body is within you
body dies, but not space
go even slower
taste the moment’s sensations
feel you lack nothing
mind seeking to grow
awareness seeks awareness
memes make awareness
you are one with life.
the sun is shining freely:
life knows how to live.
time is illusion
suffering dissolves in Now
no judgment in Now
accept the What Is.
don’t give up, choose surrender.
transcending tactic
there is a way out
the truth can be seen by you
decouple from self
if you remove self,
the story dissolves, not you.
sense of being lasts.
you are eternal
you aren’t the body; you’re more
body is in you
there’s a bigger thing
the body is in that space
and it is awake
the world doth turn ‘round
sometimes you see it as flat
other times: yourself
the bitter plant leaf,
it can make your soul expand
write, though: expand more
truthfully exist
when you change you are growing
you can be sans self
change from who you are
accept what the moment holds
suffering dissolves
when in doubt, stop fear
end the control-illusion
be eternity
stretching beyond time
do you want to still the mind?
forget the story
transcending the mind,
an arisen awareness,
to all of nature.

you use energy
when you observe others’ art
always productive
nanotech robots
more powerful than you think
all pain: optional

ending compulsion to steer.
there’s nothing to do.

creation: natural
destruction: temporary
becomes common sense
a great truth revealed:
all ending is illusion
there’s only Growing
world without judgment
there is only the machine
one cohesive whole
respect is earned
don’t demand it from others
make yourself better
small deeds make great acts
so start now: one foot in front
keep on keeping on
nothing is easy
however, nothing is hard
perspective is all
i don’t know myself
i keep trying to find out
i create to learn
use an hour a day,
on where you are and will go
this is for success
take the longer view
improve the distant future
effort gains purpose
a weed, once whacked,
is it truly still a weed?
perhaps in name only
the animal sees,
but does not look deep enough
there is more hidden
truly, you are aware,
yet you can always be more
do not forget this
be an open book
withholding ideas binds you
reveal to be free
to craft is to grow
you discover when you make
simply start writing
when the cup is filled
there is no need for more hope
yet hope is still there
desire, craving,
it is animalistic
try to rise above
four-dimensional:
it can be intuitive.
don’t believe the doubt.
you look at the screen.
do you see a flat surface?
no, you see deeper.
the genius know depth;
they know knowledge is endless.
so they are dumb, too.
most apes, after money,
see not the point is wisdom.
wisdom makes you last.
wheels are invented
do not think of them as one
cars, and planes, use them
creation bears fruit
destruction is limited
cooperate: win
if there is no wind,
and if there is no sunlight,
still, life can prosper.
if you hold too tight,
then it will escape your grasp.
this math is proven
wisdom: limitless
yet also are fear and doubt
all can be useful
there’s a trick to fear:
fear means it isn’t happening
use this tip in life
it can be scary
yet know that you never die
math’s unkillable
there are always paths
Gödel showed us this is true
there’s no cap on math
try not to force things
sit back and think it over
knowledge is power
revision control
it’s surprisingly helpful
turns back your mistakes
tired minds can help
different perspectives help
see it as useful
see higher natures
don’t assume three dimensions
you aren’t limited
to live is to dream
there’s always sight beyond
focus your journey
the bucket has holes
this is not always bad news
things can get in, too
if you twist the truth,
your own mind will be twisty
let truth unravel lies
if you look around,
and really look, not just glance,
you’ll see stories abound
pop news shares the bad
tech and science news, the good
pop news: bad for you
animals near you…
the friends you have make you up.
and you make them up.
a silver coin sits
is it money? you decide
always subjective
more than what is said
is in decoding itself
read between the lines
complexity math
unpredictability
everything’s like this
the berry on plant
provides food. will provide shade.
start thinking long-term.
good wins in the end,
because it cooperates
replicates faster
mutation is key
natural selection is not
more ways to evolve
bad things make the news
unusual makes the news
good things: usual
do it in your head
you practice, you get better
in mind: run races

scrubbing wipes the virus off
more scrubbing: less death

and everything in its place.

learning how to swim
first, learn floating and stillness
helpful life lesson
alcohol sickness.
wisdom comes at certain point.
limits are wisdom.
yes, this too shall pass.
worrying isn’t helpful.
do what you can do.
savor every step
really taste the sensations
slow down and enjoy
passing messages
broken communication
still, we get things done.
abandon the path
realize there’s something higher
think outside the box
letting go of space
you are not bound to Euclid
jump outside the box
a great time stares out
life’s not a “thing”; it’s process
journey is reward
purpose flux happens
don’t be ashamed about it
past ideas are passed
the sharpie pen moves
ideas flow onto paper
transcendence happens
focus on the point
see nothing else but the point
let the mind dissolve
story isn’t real
know: fiction is fictional
don’t predict from fake
good haiku are good
ignore what’s heard otherwise
they confine; you grow
quick pace needs fluid
thought must be allowed to stretch
such then leads to growth
the way out is up
let fear not conquer your mind
a wise strategy
a fear left alone,
is not a fear that lasts long
fear needs attention
a restful haiku
might poetry lend insight?
notice refreshing
trees move around land
new generation to move
think in bigger time
