The cog factory

Today my upstairs cog factory
is busy with its ineffectual
to-do lists and planning.

Busyness overrides the golden time
when true nourishment arises
the freedom to see clearly
the whirring, whirring
incessant whirring
achieving nothing beyond keeping
the cogs in motion.

The golden time has its effect anyway
holding a mirror to the cog factory
bringing clarity to the incessant whirring
bringing awareness
the freedom to see clearly
the cogs in motion.

They are like juggling balls
constantly kept moving for no reason.
Let them fall!
Let them all drop and
after the clattering shock as
they hit the ground
see what happens next.
