Trapped in the Museum
nodded her head
glitched
her wax figure
likeness
being dead
is freeing
being silenced
is the drag
the view
from the sweet
ever after
goes on forever
surpasses
hindsight
20:20
dwarfs
360
expands
beyond
the cosmonaut's
lofty, concaved
gilded lens
ground control
where are the lines
how are we
supposed to assign
color and borders
recognize patriots
immigrants and aliens
everything blends
into itself
diversifies
mounts
towers and looms
crumbles
turns out
the ghost
is the liberated
visitor
the detached observer
it's the living
who are trapped
in the museum

The beauty of landscape is best comprehended
With a long view
Each part pales to the sum of its whole
Seeming imperfections blend perfectly
From space the earth is naught but beauty
No view is ever long enough
To take in the complete beauty of the Tao
If you see anything but beauty
Take a step back
The master does not care for perfection
He trusts only the work of the Tao is ever done
