- ZEN
-
-
- The cowboy contemplates on Zen
- as he rides his greek mustang
- oldsmobile "omega"
- what can this Zen be
- a word which starts with z
- reminds me of the zzz's
-
- So Zen they say
- ah can it be trans-meditation in motion
- or lack of concentration
- may be its the leviation of the mind
- or worse its the driving in blind
-
- Oops a STOP sign,
- back to consciousness
- screech to a halt
- stop, look and proceed
- in aimless direction
- empty grazing lands covered by snow
- occasional pine trees
- dripping with snow
- oh where was I
- ah Zen, what can it be
-
- Ah now I know, its the intuition
- which arises from concentration
- or lack of it
- wow its utter confusion
- or lack of it
- may be its the contemplation of some sorts
- or reflection of inner thoughts
-
- Zen, Zen, Zen
- may be its just meditation
- pure and simple
- just focusing to a point
- onto the yellow strips
- in the middle of the zone
- constantly in motion
-
- As the seconds tick by
- and the wheels turn on
- the omega moves on
- the time and mind coming to a stand still
- and in Zen
- the cowboy dreams of Zen
