THREE OLD MONK POEMS (140)
NO, I DON'T
No, I don't live in
a monastery,
the old monk said.
I live in
the roots of a tree.
~
THE DOOR WON'T
The door doesn't open
when the guest
isn't wanted,
the old monk said.
You can tell by
the rusty hinges.
~
IF YOU GO
If you go
up the mountain,
go all the way
up.
If you come
down the mountain,
come half-
way,
the old monk says.
