T. Lobsang Rampa
must have been shot
by a spiritual cannon
loaded with 1300 years
of Tibetean intent.
But, in the end,
spectacular as his rise was,
he came back to earth.
For while others
may give us velocity
and direction
we, alone, having nothing
but mass and inertia
and our own small flame
of awareness
to sustain the flight.
The spiritual equivalent
of the roller derby whip.
