you can take the blue pill
and choose blissful ignorance

you can take the red pill
and see the right into the eye of war lords

you come home
cry into your pillow
devastated by all the cruelty around you
become cynical hopeless overweight and severely depressed

or you can go the third way
the way of partial ignorance partial presence
im calling it intentional naiveté

you are intentional naïve

when you choose not to know
and instead you wonder

when you choose not to prepare
and instead you wander

when you choose not to go straight
and instead you meander

when you tell stories with the excitement
of a tongue-tied and gasping young boy
speaking in breathy bursts

when you ask questions like a new-born
and your biological age is 83

when you experience every day
as if it was your first and last day
at the same time

because all you have left is 24 hours

until you cease to exist in dunja

because you continue to exist in jannah

until you descend again

and wake up where you left off

re-dead and re-born

ready to do it all over again

with the same kind of excitement

that you had on day one

because it is day one

was day one

and has always been day one

there is no day two

there is only one

are you the one?

no problem if youre not

you can always be intentional naïve

and act like day one

oh, one last thing before you leave...

i once ate an apple for breakfast
felt like a fresh breeze from new zealand
until i realized it was from heaven
so i gave it back to my wife
(her forbidden fruit was yummy)
