THREE OLD MONK POEMS (472) 


IT'S NOT

It's not the cane
tapping on the floor I count --
it's the silences between,
the old monk said.

EVERY BET

Every bet
changes the betting
until the windows close --
is that what
you're telling me,
the old monk said.

OBSESSION

Obsession
doesn't make
expertise,
but it helps,
the old monk said.
