On the plane, this composition rolled out onto some paper:
A GURU IS OR WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A GURU
A guru is not a king
Perhaps the center of a ring
Moving on levels of dignity
Crowned by acts of humility
Apolitical in every sense of the word
Repeats what his ears have heard
And registers through what he’s seen
A guru’s life is thoroughly clean
He bonds with brothers
Cutting bondage from mundane others
Limiting a maya’s scope
Convinced of noose and rope
He walks the tight cord
On
