| The Love Song of Sherry Herry Erry 2006 has been a year of changes and diabolical Sudoku Hong Kong has officially gone down the tube Henry and I have separated Charlie Brown and Linus we've remained Thorson and Kwok reunioned in Hong Kong and Macau Drinking, chatting, cracking forbidden secrets Humbly survived a one week Zen Retreat And my life has been disintegrating since Deconstructing...reconstructing...deconstructing... Learned Vipassana meditation And that one should learn to let go and live mindfully Only in the current moment and in here Blissed in rapturous trance, not once but twice First exposure to Zen logic of the universe Human chases after desires like a mouse on a running wheel Drowning our pain with Lafite, Tiffany, Guns & Roses In the room, the women come and go Talking of Prada & Valentino We were taught how to observe the beginning And cessation of our each thought Happiness doesn't exist It's merely the absense of pain With the music of truth and wisdom Echoing in my mind The Zen Master very patiently explained everything. Bathed in the euphoria of Zen Light Like a lost obedient child with fresh eyes In the room, the women come and go Talking of Oprah's Favourite Things 2007. Astrologer and Zen Master told me Life is not by choice It merely unfolds in its own programming One's Karmic path must one embark Willingly or unwillingly My path is not what I have already chosen Must I change and must I relearn all over again? I fretted like a deer caught in headlilghts The two compassionate men lended me their strengths My vulnerable spirit lived on them for nutrients Yet, how long must I be a dependent entity? Is it really safe to rely on their support? In the room, the women come and go Talking of why Barney Bush, the Scottish Terrier, is depressed. I, as mere mortal caught in my own two worlds The way I had lived for the first half of life vs the newly discovered I picked up this book called "Transmission of Mind" by Huang Po It's a book of paradoxes within paradoxes Turn the page and there are more paradoxes within paradoxes But it plays like a symphony of mysterious truth What kind of fool would bitch over existential blues? Jazzing over sense and nonsense All seems the same to me now I am exhausted, I am drained. Using my head drives me mad Though madness is sometimes divinest sense In the room, the women come and go Talking of Botoxing their darling English poodles. As of 15 December, my identity as a secret admirer was exposed This unique obssessive energy that I was quixotically hanging onto For emotional and creative inspiration was Demolished by square heart and self-rightgeousness Though an infatuation of only 45 days It was the most saintly and poetic I have ever known Yet, without this bubble, I am barely blobbing, blobbing, blobbing Amorphously, amorphously, I am emerging Emerging, emerging with chagrin and anger In the room, the women come and go Talking of cruising for bruising. Must men ever be so intoxicated with I, me, mine, myself? Women are in love with the mere idea of love and romance Love is like a cup of coffee Men are the cream in our coffee and salt in our stew Must man be an essential ingredient to a woman's amorous imagination? Why don't people die from heartbreaks? Aren't people more in love with the ideology of love than with people? Can human ever rise beyond this trap of egotism and loneliness? In the room, the women come and go Talking of in moments of weakness women are allowed a glimpse of heaven. For the first time in life There is nothing occupying my passion or obssession This non-obssessive, non-passionate, non-feeling existence Is a state of the living dead I am desperately blobbing away Yearning for my next renaissance How I detest being merely human and not beyond. Where have I forgotten my wings? Sherry 18 Dec 06 |
