Chakra Blue
Her faith
is different from evangelical
shows where the devil
is shouted
out
by pushing the forehead.
Believers
convulse on the floor
while the woman who paid
for certificates
in reiki i and ii heals
from a distance
the same way the man
who discovered the art of reiki
fasted
until faint from meditation
not to mention
dehydration,
hallucinated and heard mysterious
voices
telling him he had to open
the closed bones
of heads.
The stream of consciousness
helps divine homoeopathic potions
picked
from pretty pictures
of organically
grown flowers
which are always to do
with the heart's
chakra
blue problems easily solved
by rainbow aura remedies
so potent
only spirit guides can supply.
Improbable
"We fail to recognise the extent to which highly
improbable events occur daily to everyone" - Skeptics.com
Is improbable
the same as forgetfulness
or more like the time
he saw his doctor
then went to the chemist
and now
has to lie down
and when he does,
he turns blue.
The men in white take his pulse.
It's thready and as weak
as his memory
failing to explain
the accidental-on-purpose overdose
otherwise he'd have nothing
but a mundane life.
