REALITY SQUARED

The infinite circle
The reach of the mind
The meaning of life
The arrow of time
The end of the road
The soul that we save
The luckier person
The rest in the grave
The highest achiever
The lowest IQ
The species that’s smarter
The life that we’re due
The pick of the litter
The best of the best
The most gifted artist
The taste of success
The fastest sprinter
The slowest of all
The reason for winning
The distance we fall
The pride that we cherish
The beauty we boast
The maker of magic
The year that we toast
The cleverest liar
The one who got away
The king of the world
The prices we pay
Are all whimsical fancy
Of measurements mind
O’er make believe thinking
And yesterdays wine.

Hi

Beautiful poem! It reminds me of a modern day Longchenpa -- who was one of the great Dzogchen masters.
