Sit cross-legged on the floor
five hours or more
and hypnotise the tip of your nose,
whilst flexing your toes.

5

Fill your mind with mindfulness
or mindlessness,
believe in self-raising flower power
and step off the tower

4

or maybe not.
Perhaps inhale an awful lot
of steam instead
followed by helium straight into your head

3

or be ever so quiet,
go on a vegan vacuum diet,
shave off your hair,
put your hands together in prayer

2

and as you start to self-leaven,
devoutly raise your eyes to heaven.
Then in take-off position
turn over your telly to aerial vision

1

and start to scale the heights of Zen,
but even then
never underestimate
how hard it is
