THREE OLD MONK POEMS (147) 


HOW MUCH

How much of it
can you stand

before you have to
go back down

the mountain --
that's the question,

the old monk said.

~

IF YOU DON'T

If you don't
understand it,

try reading it
upside down,

the old monk said.

~

SEVEN OR

Seven or a hundred
is how many,

the master asked
the old monk who

approximates.
