No more true self

No more true self,
No more inherent nature

No simple identity,
No static personality

Complex being, instead,
composed of now,
of free thoughts
and delusions,
right perceptions and wrong

Nothing more
    to achieve
        to be complete

Wade in the Mill River

2 chipmunks, a duck
and the second wade in the Mill river
of the season.
Now, waiting
for almost anything
to happen.

Toothpaste Tube

Toothpaste tube,

on the floor,
in my pocket,
on the table,

for a few days,
reminding me
to get more...

how many last drops
did I squeeze
outta that thing?
