Scales of the dragon
When doing zazen
Sit for 6 years
Like the Buddha
Even when you only sit for 10 minutes
Sitting without beginning or end
Only fathomless depth.
A thought arises in eternity:
'I hope we finish soon -
I need to go to the toilet'
As we sit
100 people walk past the door
Talking loudly
Slamming doors.
Scales of the dragon!
Hey bro,
ReplyDeleteI liked some of your posts on ZFI. Followed your link to here. I'm impressed. I look forward to reading more.
Thank you friend. I think I know who you are - let me just say that your reputation is unequalled. I forgot about these poems (or is it one poem?). Having taken another look, I tweaked it slightly.
ReplyDeleteI have a reputation?
ReplyDeleteUh-oh...
This isn't about that time at the pub on 32nd street in NYC, is it?
Cuz honestly, I didn't know she was married.
Hahahahaha...
What tweaks did you make?
Ah I figured you were 'Unequaled108', but perhaps not.
ReplyDeleteOh, I swapped the order of two of the verses and tweaked a few words here and there.
