THREE OLD MONK POEMS (11) 


I HAVE A CAT

I have a cat,
the old monk said.
She inspires me.

I call her
my mews.

YOU THINK I COULD

You think I could
keep walking around

acting like this if
I were holy,

the old monk said.
Don't be silly.

~

WHY DO I OFFER

Why do I offer
this inferior
cup of wine?

It's what I have,
the old monk said.
