THREE OLD MONK POEMS (344) 


ALL THIS TIME

All this time I've been trying
to understand what the numbers mean,
the old monk said. They won't tell me.

GIVING AND RECEIVING

Giving and receiving,
the other end

of the same string,
the old monk says.

THE OLD MONK SAYS

The old monk says:
establish that

a dozen is
about twelve

and you can say
eleven donuts

in that dozen, ma'am?
That's about twelve.
