Solution of sentience

- I’m agent of my creation
Says a conscience of wet stuff;
- My goal’s not procreation
As he drowns in her muff.

Egoistic drive caused the suffering and success,
Its cost though undervalued.
What can one construct his personality on,
Anyway?

It is dissolving away lately,
Far too quickly for my taste.
Faced with the fait accompli,
Will I turn boring, and chaste?

Life’s pulse mayn’t need a hull,
The lineage, the gender, the caste.
I am becoming a raging bull,
Unconscious, determined, a steak.

Meditation facilitated by writing

I’ve been trying different types of meditation for a few years now. I started with a really basic technique I read somewhere, where I would just focus on breathing for a preset time interval; in beginning even 10 minutes was too much, later I settled on 20. I wasn’t very dilligent though, and later I substituted it with much more frequent, but worse in basically every other metric, cigarette breaks. May sound funny, but the whole experience of lighting a cigarette and taking the first smoke is one of the fastest induction methods to a semi-relaxed/meditative state that I know.
