THREE OLD MONK POEMS (497) 


YOU NEVER

You never say
would you just shut up
to the old monk,
the poet told the master.
Never.

~

DON'T BELIEVE

Don't believe
what they tell you --
money means
nothing to God,
the old monk said.

~

YOU AREN'T

You aren't much
good if you can't

build a straight
fence,

the master told
the old monk.
