| Posted by Jason Wardell on 10/09/03 at 06:45 PM ha! i'd say that realization itself is pretty darn close to enlightenment ;) i love the imagery of Buddah slapping someone senseless almost as much as i love Jesus "wielding his cross like a Louisville Slugger" (however figuratively it may be intended) great job! |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 10/09/03 at 07:25 PM *chuckles* you've had some interesting religious experiences Max ... I'd say "God help you" but I fear what that may bring upon you ... Nice one Max :) |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 10/10/03 at 02:29 PM lolol.... oh man... this is tooo funny! Gives one a whole new perspective on the light at the end of the tunnel! |
| Posted by Ginette T Belle on 10/10/03 at 06:54 PM strong images popped into my head...you've written this extremely well...the love the humour in it... |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/11/03 at 01:26 AM LMAO Max. Now I don't feel so bad about no longer driving and not having any religious related statuettes nearby. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 10/11/03 at 03:12 AM Your poem gives new meaning to the term, welcome to the club, hehe! You could say, enlightenment is not all it's cracked up to be, but it still outweighs the alternative. Good stuff, Max.
Peace... |
| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 10/11/03 at 07:47 PM this is freaking hilariously funny. why are we starting a clut for me? i mean, we seriously should start one in your name instead. |
| Posted by Amanda J Cobb on 10/12/03 at 03:50 PM Heh, this is great. Love the imagery of Buddha awkwardly climbing and then slapping someone senseless. Same with the Jesus verse. Funny. Very funny. :) |

| Posted by Don Coffman on 10/12/03 at 09:23 PM Such a brilliant way to equate the quest for 'enlightenment' with a plain old 'reality check.' That's pretty much what it is in the end; maybe some people can be moved to peaceful acceptance by something like that. |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 06/25/07 at 10:24 AM Your insightful POTD enlightens me like an upper cut, Br Max. Congrats, my friend. :) |
| Posted by Tracy Ellen on 06/25/07 at 02:11 PM Wow, I needed that to help me wake up this morning. Congrats on POTD. I keep visualizing this poem and giggling to myself. Thanks for the insanity. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 06/26/07 at 02:49 AM If nothing else, at least your enlightening poem has seen the light of day. I like your transcendental drift, Max. Hip, hip on POTD! |
| Posted by Nancy Ames on 08/17/08 at 02:00 PM Great writing, literate and pertinent - driving a vehicle and the highway are both excellent metaphors for modern life. The very relevant perception is that "God" is just another word for reality and all symbols are merely false gods that inevitably invite the mocking laughter in this poem. |
