THREE OLD MONK POEMS (160)
THE LATER YOU START
The later you start
the faster you have to sleep,
the old monk said,
quoting his sister.

NOT ALL NIGHT
Not all night
but several times
is a good deal
if you can get it,
the old monk said.
~
THE DESERT'S BUSINESS
The desert's business
is turning sun
into sand,
the old monk said.
