3 lines, third person: bob schneck

i
conscious of many buddha lives
he plunges into this
regardless of infinite buddha lives to come

ii
noble birth of a human
noble name of a snail
the man in the moon can’t stop laughing
schneck is a german word for snail

iii
renaissance man without a renaissance
poetry is his resonance with truth
the life of the mind that lives in the heart never ends

iv
wealth expands; poverty explodes
the superpower goes to war to orchestrate the bleeding
the heart that nurtures the soul can’t stop screaming

v
cora is his love
the universe concurs
they live with the crazy angels in new york
