The smooth dancing actor is here again
Blue flowers over his left ear as he sashes across the stage
everyone is praying he'll dance his way into their heart
gurudeva says he'll take his followers home
just listen to him and not the mind
the devotees come before him seeing this dress with a million mirrors
that rescue our eyes from the ordinary beauty
with leis that match the yellow and purple pink silken dress
he wears when the smooth dancing actor is here again
The gecko and I take off for the pool. We offer respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa along the way and cross the bridge over the first highway. At the hospital curve we go along to the whalers. The triangle is ahead but Ms. Gault is there to offer us a detour. The leaping monque shows us the way over the railroad bridge where even the mountain men have the good sense to stay out of the drizzle. But the gecko and I are pedaled senseless and circle the spinner's church. The sufferer thakura has a raincoat on today. We salute as we pass on our return loop. The trader points the way to the shop where we, as usual part. The gecko to the shop and I to the long and winding to fold my palms to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa the kalarupa pulls me to the sandhya and asks “the ceremony is about to begin, is everybody in”
Then after the day's dancing Sri Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari put on their deep within the far off jungle nightdress and get ready for their evening pastimes.
