I'm thinking of reorganizing this piece, but this is what I've written so far...
I wander past the bygone scenes of tenderness.
How I wish I did not know.
Lonesome child, stares at the World Conflagration, seeing, but not grasping.
He drifts past the T.V., reaching for a snack, avoiding the whirlpool of Hells that others have created.
The child is Buddha, taking but not consuming, hearing but not interpreting.
For once, it was fine not to understand.
Only when we did not know the Dharma, did we master it.
I continue on my self imposed path, longing.
I am not sorry for my sorrow.
How I wish I did not know.
