The darkness smells
are lovely seventy-two percent cocoa
He says.
"The trouble with the world today,
in this period of history,
are lovely seventy-two percent cocoa
strong, bittersweet, tasty,
mouth watering experience.

In the water puppet theater in Hanoi
humanity is experienced
in the vortex of timelessness.

My friends and I watch
the actors carry themselves
the actors carry themselves
and the wooden puppets
out of the water.
out of the water.
Soaked from the performance
their wooden bodies,
cut off at the feet,
move slow motion
dripping water
onto the ground -
their wooden bodies,
cut off at the feet,
move slow motion
dripping water
onto the ground -
forming ancient carved puddles
of theatrical leftovers.

An artist who has taken a shine to me
gifts me a drawing of puppets
grinning multicoloured smiles.

He hands it to me
declaring his endearing love for me,

timelessly captured

He urges me to look at myself from his eyes,
to look at us all now in this moment,
dripping on the edge of being the future.

"The trouble with the world today,
in this period of history,
is that we have problems -
in all realms material and non-material.
People live lives defined by their problems.
Defined by modernization
which they feel requires denial
of past lives and traditions.
Do citizens need to denounce
their existence in all realms,
and deny their potential unification
with all their bodies of power,
in the realms of reality
in all worlds."
He explains;
"Some people fulfill themselves
through living in worlds
built on material fantasies -
in all realms material and non-material.

He explains;
"Some people fulfill themselves
through living in worlds
built on material fantasies -
unstructured ideological platforms
not integrated with past wisdom ...
... so people spin off center,
spin out of balance,
spin ungrounded in the present -
persistent spinners
reflecting only a blurred partial existence
of a fleeting reality ..."
Humans base life expectancy
on occupying their own space,
leading their own life,
making life real through awareness -
creating a real life through awareness,
being conscious of their own presence.
Self-awareness to create,
to lead your own life
and be present in it.
These unmanned platforms
from which people build their lives
need roots -
a unified system of integrities,
that will strengthen
not weaken their senses.
Without well developed Self-definition
there is no sense of responsibility -
unaccountable humans,
a species rendered un-relatable
unable to interact and commit to anything real.
This undefinable
finite sensory perception
results in a psychic limbo -
everyone in their own way,
making up their own worlds -
an effort to be present,
worlds which lack presence,
but suck up enough power
to create feelings of powerlessness.
A chaotic partnerless spin,
a formless dance
revealing nothing of our truth -
not integrated with past wisdom ...

Modern citizens

might appear to future generations
as antiquated puppets -
propped up and supported by
the lure of potential reality ...
Self-identity linked
to material accomplishment.
People dripping
and dangling
with material desire,
which over time
builds a sense of intention
without any sense of fulfillment.
A truthful Self-fulfillment
based on who they are,
what they are creating,
and how they want
their spirit to manifest
in their physical form ...
Self-directorship
powering up Self-leadership ...
a knowing
of how they want
their spirit to manifest
in the material world.

“Now be careful these guns they are not toys
these are not meant to be handled
without the proper supervision
of an experienced humanitarian.”
