Notes About The Poem
real life

Buddha Nature

It is so easy at four o clock
in the morning,
under a starry sky,
surrounded by redwoods
and pines,
centered and breathing
clear air and watching
the sky travelers
make their rounds.
Buddha nature is a piece of cake
until Six PM in the dining hall
with wife and children,
a bloody bore on your right,
who's elbow's in your food,
as he shakes your hand,
and moves into your table.
Now, lets see your Buddha Nature!

I suspect that may not have been meant to be "just" funny so I apologize for laughing. However: For an old rhymer that came across as very, very, funny. Thanks for sharing with the Soup and I. oldbuck
