THREE OLD MONK POEMS (392)
HOW FAR
How far do you travel
before you get one?
Twelve miles per poem?
Fifteen? Fifty mpp,
the old monk asked the poet.

IF THE WORD
If the word is
drift,
you let it
drift.
If it's
not,
you make it
stay,
the old monk
told the poet.
~
LAY YOURSELF
Lay yourself down
in the deep grass
if you want a
really good sleep,
the old monk said.
