DANK CAVES

The World is illusion;
Only Brahman is real;
The World is Brahman. 

The Paleolithic:
Ours was a Bright Beginning
In that Age of Existential
Presence.

Those Endless Longueurs 
Of little pleasures and little work.
All Exploded
During the Neolithic.

It was Storytelling
In Dank Caves
That then gave voice
To the 10,000 Things.

The Mute Mysteries of the Cosmos
Replaced 
By Humankind’s
Pallid Constructions of them.

Land forms, flora and fauna
Limned on a Wall -
Consciousness Divorced 
From the Empirical. 

Our swift Release
From the Phenomenal World
Only conditioned on
Eternal Anomie.

The Species as
Cosmic Jetsam:
Now Forever Frantic 
In Pursuit of Purpose.

The World is illusion;
Only Consciousness is real;
The World is Consciousness.
