Let's workshop this poem about the commercialization and distortion that surrounds countless modern "guru" figures peddling supernatural skills and other bullshit magical beliefs
Eat, Pray, Love
The exalted guru—technically,
the “Aura Architects”
at his “Soul Science Institute”—
will train you to pass
(with enough faith) through walls
of any material, a one-time fee
giving you a year—one
full year—of Karma Kernels™:
capsules of powdered scripture.
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right)
