special electric and the survival of the species

the stillness required
to handle that special
electric pain that
comes from the chaos
of the universe
should be learned
in a buddhist monastery.
 
you master it not
all of the time
because sometimes
you need a reminder
or to sneeze.
 
and it may all be
pavlovian nonsense
but eventually,
because the species
must survive
you see the purpose
of the special electric
and the idea that you
are its master
and not its servant.
