THREE OLD MONK POEMS (526)
YOU CLIMB
You climb
when what you want
is to fall,
the old monk said.
~
THE BEAT
The beat
is the beat --
there's not much more
to say about it,
the drummer told
the old monk.
~
IF YOU'RE ASLEEP
If you're asleep when
the angel of death comes,
should I wake you,
the master asked
the old monk.
