Spend no time in the world.
You are floating.
It seems as if
as if something is
as if something is happening.
Surrounded by its invitation.
The happening is holding you.
Go nowhere.
Pay no attention to anything
that wants money.
Urges?
You have heard that song before.
Aching with guilt?
Stop dancing on the fence.
Perhaps you need to help another?
Pricked to help your neighbor? Help yourself.
Want to eat the banana? Eat.
Craving more more more?
Drink the water.
Go nowhere.
Go there now.

* Pico Iyer points out that in the Decalogue,
there is only one word to which the adjective "Holy" refers.
Just "Sabbath". Just the period of rest.
The only "Holy" thing in this universe is a day
of doing nothing useful or worldly.
