THREE OLD MONK POEMS (44) 


HOW MANY TIMES

How many times
can you go

up the mountain
before you can't

come back down.
The old monk

wouldn't tell.

THAT WALKING STICK

That walking stick
is kind of like mine,
the old monk said,
only not so wobbly.

~

A PROMISE

A promise
not to promise
is not a promise,
the old monk said.
