Thought Waves

Learning to meditate.

Getting in touch with the self,
musing in peace, pondering
healthy fellow penny-wise,
cogitating joy melodic,
distress some distant
pack wolf, tooth
and claw...

...this I learn as meditation;
internal combustion, thought
engine compression, a mental
tranquil state of cloud nine,
a shoo-in of cerebral bliss.
Arms dawdle
reconnoitering with hips,
a lotus position, ankles
in shin bone pressure
pose, buns buttressed
to beige carpet nap,
low back pain
fallen, that twinge
in the neck
an afterthought,
like Windows XP
or Morse Code.
