THREE OLD MONK POEMS (333) 


YOU DON'T WANT

You don't want to
work it so hard

you break it,
the old monk said.

He was speaking about
more than tools.

IF IT'S IN

If it's in the past tense
is it dead when we read it,
the old monk asked the master.

~

YOU CAN GO

You can go pretty fast
from about a dozen to

twelve or fifteen hundred,
breeding rabbits,

the old monk said.
