THREE OLD MONK POEMS (518) 


IF YOU DON'T

If you don't know
when it's time to
roll over, you might
write all night,
the old monk warned.
We think he was
speaking from experience,
the poet said.

IF YOU KNOW

If you know
what your fingers know
you could play piano,
the old monk predicted.

DON'T MAKE

Don't make a fuss
and don't clean it up --
it'll be a poem,
the old monk told
the poet.
