THREE OLD MONK POEMS (201) 


THE MUZZLE VELOCITY

The muzzle velocity
of your smart mouth

is probably not
enough, the old monk

told his student. I give
these tests all the time.

IF YOU WAIT

If you wait
long enough

what goes around
will come this way,

the old monk says.

~

DON'T GET TOO

Don't get too
comfortable

on the mountain --
that's not what

it's there for,
the old monk told

his students.
