    Buddha of Beat!

    I lick a lollipop sunbeam,
    in my transcendental dream...
    beatific hallucination,
    to thrive in creation..

    Garden of Bhagavad-Gita,
    Buddha, Hara full-mantra,
    Kerouac A.K.A. Dharma Bum...
    Bodhisattva bringer,
    in Mexico City Blues....

    His daily chants,
    Diamond Sutra...
    celebrates, celibates
    Monk...

    Translates...
    Surangama-Sutra's,
    Buddhist of Beat...

    Panoramic Tathagatas,
    spontaneous prose..

    Ju-Ju beads, jazz whore,
    benzedrine...
    The Beat!

    awsome ... streams of random consciouness ... beat, bongos, bop, crazy man ... Daddio ... Kerouac, Ginsburg, Burroughs, Bruce, Kesey, Cassady ... Coltrane, Parker, Miles,Mingus ,Dizzy ... very refreshing ... Thank you for bringing it all back for me. After I read your poem, I put on an old .'Bird' vinyl , fixed myself an espresso ... picked up On The Road and had a wonderful morning. Thanks again.

    This was and excellent use of eastern practices and play on the words. "ju-ju" interesting. Bhagavad-Gita is one of my favorite books. Interesting again. Interconnections. Brilliant writing!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
