    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!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
