Freaky Xmas weather



This mini-typhoon formed over Panama City on Christmas day. It touches down far out at sea but somehow bends right over the bay and digs into the clouds over the bayside avenue. Panamaneans qho are used to walking the bayside promenade on Xmas day got a little freaked out. Then they got poured on.

Well, How Did I Get Here?

Recurrent and recognizable reactions,
The karma is identifiable
More often than not,
At times thwarted.

Regressive response?
Maybe so, maybe not.
Proactive pondering?
Definitely maybe.

Desire satiation,
Like the ambitious salmon,
Upstream swimming,
Soon devoured by a bear.

Oh sweet strenuous rush
Sometimes invigorating, sometimes toxic,
No warning labels
Or overtly noticeable speed bumps.

Momentary lapse
Of cognizant comprehension
Yields the inverse
Of heartfelt intentions.

Recursive realization and rue,
The elixir of palatable perplexity,
Averts benevolent atonement
Or grounding awareness.
