Full Play

Playfulness need not be light

In a two fingers up to the incomprehensible sprawl of life 

a destructive nature may take flight

No, playfulness need not be light

A ludic push at the boundary, taking control

Freedom muscles stretched

we strain for pattern, a coup the whole

Autonomy tested 

No longer arrested by fixed realities  

we topple into lucid darkness

Playfulness need not be light
Smash it, snap it, bend crash and cover
Dig fiercely 

Colonize it in play, claim the disarray

Flick out the mat of illusion 

Frolic and dominate as fusion
Spiral on thread-less patterns
Loose the cords, leave it frayed as you
Dance unfettered on the Material

Essential hallucinations of play

What I do matters!

I am my own master

See how I conjour, create and destroy 

Stroll tangentially to land ahoy
Walk on water

Don't need to be taught a
serendipitous voyage 

I am Captain of contour
I choose the storms

For there is lightness to play

An alchemy at play

This divine spirit is a pool of innocence 

We sail through the waters of knowledge and experience

until we meet the shore

Where we are silently stopped
by a closed door
There play

All at once insensible to every structure except one 

Licensed agency lapping at that solid shore

Again, again and again
Re-inventing
Spinning at the loom of connections  

Frequency as hope

Until, by feigning freedom the shore crumbles and recedes 

Another horizon pushed back
                        by the playfully persistent
