Innate Dramamine

Awoke this morning tired and sick,
uncle Phil had too much medicine last night,
couple of Coronas and potato chips
enough to do me in these days.

Subtle and not so subtle
desires for a change of state
physical dis-eases of the body
very challenging to equanimity.

Sitting with the bad feelings
and the desires for bodily pleasure,
riding the waves of evaluation,
strategic planning and manipulation,
in due time, Awareness rests in it own space.
Radiant fullness intermingles with bodily yecch,
transcendence without exclusion,
penetrating presumed solidity of experience,
letting it all be in its own place.
Bad states turn into good ones and vice-versa,
so what's the point of getting seasick
by focusing on the waves?
