THREE OLD MONK POEMS (279)
WHAT YOU NEED
What you need to settle
is yourself, and
not the argument,
the old monk said.
~
EVERY STAR
Every star
is someone else's
except this one,
the sun, it's ours,
the old monk said
with some affection.
~
I COULD GO ON
I could go on stage
and say these things
and they'd think it
was a show,
the old monk said,
particularly if
there was alcohol.
