THREE OLD MONK POEMS (79) 


GOSSIP

Gossip
isn't actually

what gossip
is,

the old monk says.
It's emptiness

masquerading
as meaning.

~

FAILURE

Failure goes
but it doesn't
go far,
the old monk said.

~

Everything
you promise yourself

is coming,
the old monk says,

but check the bill
of lading.
