THREE OLD MONK POEMS (375) 


EXPECTATIONS

Expectations
are always

less reliable
indicators

than bruises,
the old monk says.

~

WE ALL WEAR

We all wear masks,
the old monk said.

Don't be surprised when
I take off this face.

~

IT'S NOT THE MASK

It's not the mask you wear
that makes you a saint,

but what you wear
under the mask,

the old monk says.
