A wizened sage I met in Sedona, Ca.
\nTold me I could learn the mysteries of the universe
\nOn the back of a bubble gum wrapper.
\nA skeptic, I guffawed. He smiled an indulgent smile
\nAnd handed me a neatly wrapped piece of
\nDubble Bubble Cosmic Gum. I said, this is it?<\/p>\n
He smiled and said open it and read it.
\nI opened it and saw nothing on the back of the wrapper
\nUntil telepathically the words and the wisdom
\nLit up my previously unbelieving mind, and I saw it all.<\/p>\n
Then the sage told me to eat the gum
\nI did but after the first chew all the wisdom
\nWas erased from my mind, and the sage vanished
\nAnd I wondered if it had been only a dream. <\/p>\n
But when I got back to Greensboro, NC, the
\nBubble gum wrapper was still in my pants pocket
\nI tried to read it but it was just a bubble gum wrapper
\nWith no wisdom left inside of it.
\nBut I saw it all in a dream that night and woke
\nUp one with the universe, cosmically conscious. <\/p>\n
