Just As It Is

Everything's here, just as it is,
and can be instantly realized as such.
I stretch out my arm,
& that's It.
I see & hear,
& my seeing & hearing are Not Seeing, Not Hearing,
& that's it, too.
Get it? See it now. Don't blink!
It's all real. There's no problem.

As for the rest --
endless speculation in words,
writing beautiful texts --
that's It, too,
but in a more complicated way,
not so instant & vivid as This-Here-Now.
A bird's voice leaps out of space.
A bamboo pole thunks on rock.

Listen!
